Import bulk users into Batch

[amacken]

Hi team, On the thread (link below) you mentioned you have developed a plugin to import new (unregistered) users directly into a Batch. I only work with schools who have hundred of users and so this plugin would be hugely useful to me. Can you tell me where to download this plugin and if there are any instructions/tips for it please? I have shared user credentials below for my site if you need them. https://wplms.io/support/forums/topic/wplms-users-groups-and-batches/ Thanks Alan

Well importing bulk user in bacth via csv is under development as of now . Hopefully this will be released by the end of next week . right now you can create user in back end and add them in batch from back end group efit page as well as front end group manage .

Thanks Alex, The trouble with importing this way is that it is very manual. Imagine a school with 150 members of staff; to add them into the group/batch manually is tedious and takes a very long time. As an ex Learndash user, I was able to use the plugin 'Import Users with CSV' plugin, which would create the account, set the password, import into a group and email the user - all with one click. I can replicate this within WPLMS using the same plugin (import, create the account, set the password, email the user), but the only step that is missing is assigning to the batch. Thanks again.

Here is the plugin: https://github.com/VibeThemes/bp_groups_import_users You can download it from the github, refer: http://prntscr.com/ep0et5 Steps to use:

• Install the plugin and activate it.
• Now you'll see a bulk upload option in the group members, refer: http://prntscr.com/ep0gcc
• Upload the csv file to add the students, if the users are already registered then they will be added in the group if you check the "create users if not exists" then the new users will be registered automatically and an activation email will be sent to them.
• The sample csv file looks like this: http://prntscr.com/ep0iwj
• Make sure you reload the page after importing the users.

NOTE: 1) It may take time if the number of users are more. 2) If the users are not registered users then the users will be registered automatically and an activation email will be sent to those users. Now these users will have to activate their account and login on the website once, then only they will be visible in the group members. If the users will not activate the account and login on the website then they will not be shown in the group members.   Let me know if this helps.

Excellent, thank you very much. I'll give this a try and let you know how I get on. Alan

[H.K. Latiyan]

Sure, do let me know if you face any issues with this.

Hi H.K. Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you on this, I've only just started to test the bulk upload feature. The plugin seems to be working as you stated, just a couple of observations so far: 1. The email address is used as the username. Is it possible to separate this out so that I can manually add the username onto the csv before upload? 2. Is it possible to amend the email that is sent to all users so that it can be personalised for that particular batch? Thanks for your continued help. Alan

Hi... Please create a feature request for this in our feature request forum for this as its not available in wplms as of now.

[amacken]

Sorry H.K. I'm confused, I'm not asking for a new feature. You asked me for feedback when I test the plugin. According to the post above (from Alex) the plugin would be released in a few days, and that was 2 months ago. I'm simply responding with feedback. Alan

[H.K. Latiyan]

Hi... The plugin that I shared above in this topic is the plugin which Alex told you.

[amacken]

Hi H.K. Yes, thank you, I'm aware of that. I'm simply reporting back my initial findings as requested. The 2 questions I raised are not features surely? These are basic requirements of any plugin such as this. Alan

[H.K. Latiyan]

Thanks for the feedback, we'll make changes in this plugin in future updates.
