    Hello,

    I am working on adding amember to an existing joomla install. We are adding a 'premium' member layer with JACL. Amember , the joomla plugin and the mambot are all installed on the test server and everything is working well.

    My plan was to export the existing user data base and format it for amember user import. I would be guessing that I would have to let amember choose new passwords for everyone. Then i would have to send out a mass mail, informing them of their new passwords, maybe with a link to change them as well.

    My question is... am i making work for myself? is there a facility to import from the database without password changing?

    If anyone else has done this before, could you leave some pointers as to making things go smoothly.

    Cheers.

    Unfortunately it is impossible import passwords from Joomla, so you are absolutely correct.
