I am currently working with a Joomla 1.6 install and need to import about 500+ users from a completely separate database. Here's my dilemma:
I downloaded the DB as a CSV file, but the passwords are all just standard passwords, no encryption. I know that the passwords stored in the joomla user table is md5 + salt encrypted, so I am wondering how I could go about either importing this CSV into PHPMyAdmin with the correct encrypted password or run the CSV through some sort of extension (not finding many user migration/import extentions for 1.6).
Anyone have any ideas? This is the last thing holding me back from continuing with this project.
Thanks!
