Hello guys, I've been trying hard to find a way to import users and passwords from moodle 1.9.9 to 2.6.11 but it's not working well. Is there a correct way to do that? I have a moodle site with many courses and users, I did quite well so far but I don't want to bother the users asking them for a new password. Is there a way to import the passwords from the old moodle? I edited the old database to fit it with the new one and all the users were imported to mysql with their data, crypted passwords are also there. But when I try to login, moodle says something is wrong. I would appreciate any tip you can share with me. Thanks a lot in advance!
Did you transfer the password salt from the 1.9 site to the 2.6 site?
Oh Howard, I can't thank you enough! I didn't even know what that was and you sent me in the right direction. I checked the documentation and I add the password salt from the old config.php to the new one.
It works like a charm. Thank you very much!! Shoud I add something else to the code or that's it?
