Somebody said I could pay to get an export list of my Joomla users. I said Joomla is a FREE OpenSource system, why?
Why?
I want to move a client's list of Joomla users to a new system which allows the passwords to be in MD5. All I want is a quick bit of code to get all the users out of a Joomla CMS.
How?
I could just type a query on the database and get the same result, but this script was more fun. Simply create a text file with the following code and upload it to the root of your Joomla website. Access the page from a browser and you should get all your users listed... For security reasons, delete the file after you have used it.
IT IS A SERIOUSLY BAD IDEA TO LEAVE THIS FILE ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR ANYONE TO ACCESS!!! DELETE IT AFTER USE.
