    Hi everyone.

    I have just purchased the IPB plugin from Alex and have it working perfectly with the trial (free) version of IPB. When I say perfectly, I mean perfectly for new members i.e. members that join up in aMember AFTER the plugin integration.

    My question is this: how does one get the current aMember members into the IPB members database. I for-the-life-of-me cannot find an import option. Maybe it is only available with the full (payed) version of IPB - but I can't seem to get an answer from the forums over there (I will email the admin). I thought I would try here first though - as I always great answers here!!

    Thanks everyone.
    Have a good week!

    Matt Stevens.

    Update

    I have just been informed by IPB that there is NO database import feature with their product (seems very bizarre to me??) IPB Answer.

    Anyway, my question now becomes: if I manually enter the current users in aMember into IPB - will the IPB plugin I bought for aMember ensure that the two users (1 in aMember and the new manual entry in IPB) are treated as the same (making sure user names and passwords are exactly the same of course) for the purpose of single login etc?

    Thanks for any help.

    import not needed

    I setup the plugin a month ago and had the same question--which I asked in support instead and got an answer within an hour. Thats a way better place to get fast help.

    Anyway, here is the answer that Alex gave me. I asked him to add the info to the limited install info. Its still not there though...

    Click the Rebuild DB link on your amember control panel. Its on the left-side menu below the heading Browse Users. This will update old members to connect them with your invision groups.
