This version fixes a problem with cb 1.1 and has been tested with cb 1.2rc2
This COM manages user profiles in the Community Builder environment in Joomla. It is a substantial extension to the original non-CB Juice component. It supports the addition or editing of fields in the user profile on the basis of username. The links to the ACL tables are correctly maintained. In addition, the com includes an EDIT function. You can edit any of the standard profile fields for users.
Management is done on the basis of username. A basic CSV file with username, first name, last name and email is required for bulk adds. However, any of the extra fields that CB users defined can also be set at the Add time. Similarly, an edit CSV file would have only the username and the field or fields that are being edited.
A password generator has now been added for add mode.
NOTE, a header describing the fields is obviously required. The header must have the EXACT spelling of the variables names include "cb_" as required. It is strongly suggested that you use the EXPORT/SAVE function to get a sample list of the fields.
1.5RC2 uses the new TABLECOLUMNS fields to define the links. THIS ROUTINE HAS BEEN TESTED IN 1.5 with CB 1.2RC2 in LEGACY MODE
USERTYPE is now defined as a variable. This has been tested in 1.015 with cb and works with and without JACLPlus. It will manage usertypes that are defined in the standard joomla tables only. Therefore, it will not manage the JACLplus special subgroups.
This version now supports an edit run without any CB fields. The zip files show sample csv files.

With a tight deadline building a large community site I needed to import over 4,000 users from an existing (non Joomla) website.
I did get an error with the current build but found a quick fix on CB forum at www.joomlapolis.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,/func,view/catid,58/id,71901/#71901 which I passed on to Paul the developer for CBJUICE and he replied promptly and was very helpful.
Give it a go!!! It will save you days and days of work!
Well done Paul

| Excellent, excellent tool! by kavaXtreme, August 14, 2008 |

I have used this tool to import thousands of users with numerous fields in addition to the core fields. I was very impressed with how easy and solid it was. I expected to encounter bugs of sort with this level of usage, but have found it more stable that similar import tools I have used elsewhere.
I hope the ability to change user accounts' Enabled/Disabled settings via CSV will be added, but really have no complaints whatsoever. Kudos to the developer! |

I have been using an external newsletter program for one of my websites and that forced my visitors to register twice. Obviously this was a huge inconvenience, and loading 4k+ users manually was going to take forever.
I googled for this type of component and that's how I found CBJuice. Now I got it working perfectly with my Community Builder and Vemod Newsletter.
The only con was that I had to spend 5 more minutes than I would have wanted to figure out the correct order for the csv field values. IOW, no big deal, it works, it's great and i'm happy. Thanx!! |
| User data import and export made easy by nzimas, April 11, 2008 |

Have used CB JUICE in a couple of major projects with hundreds to over 2000 thousand users each. The whole process is straightforward and bug free.
Just had to convert XLS spreadsheets into CSV files, name and set the headers order properly, upload the CSV file and that was all. Immediately my CB and core Joomla user tables had the pertinent data stored.
I can even update the user data in edit mode every time the CSV file is changed (existing entries can be kept and new ones are added).
The latest version doesn't seem to support MySQL 4, but that's not really a show stopper these days. Highly recommended for time saving developers. |

What can I say. It's great. I have very little database experience so this was a lifesaver. I really didn't want to go into my database and start importing. This made it easy.
TIP: After you set up your fields, download so you can see what the fields look like before uploading. Usertype will be there. |

I didn't give it Excellent, just because there really isn't very much documentation. But, its a great tool that I think everyone should have.
It helps when migrating, or just performing actions on a live site that might affect users' information.
What I didn't understand is when I exported the userlist (users.csv), why didn't it export the password hashes with it. The answer: The passwords are stored in the core users list that comes with joomla so it is referenced there. If you need to mess around with the joomla users list, I recommend using the original JUICE, that deals with it.
Otherwise, great utility! Does everything at a drop of a click! Hats off to the core team! Owner's reply: I can add the password to the save but it will be hashed. My concern has been that people will try to reload a hashed password. The challenge is that with continual changes to the hash, this could get into really messy things. It is NOT possible to export passwords in a clear format. If you have specific suggestions, use the joomla code forum because I would be interested. |

I haven't tried the upload part of this (already did that the hard way through MySQL), but was looking for a way to download the whole database. Clicked on the download choice, and it did it immediately, and put it straight into Excel. No having to open the file and import into Excel. We have almost 1000 members and I was impressed by the speed. |
