Can you auto-register a bunch of members to a forum by uploading a list of member user names and emails or by some other easy bulk method?

I'm imaging uploading an .xls file like the following attachment

There's a module if you're using DotNetNuke. I used it for importing over 2,200 members, then used the DNN to YAF user importer.

Thanks Zero2Cool. However, I do not have DotNetNuke installed. So I'm hoping there is another option.
I can access the database so I can run stored procedures.

Does anyone know of a stored procedure for doing this?

Perhaps download the source code for DNN to YAF module and evaluate the user import process and replicate it with an outside application you've created?

It will be possible with the next release. I added an XML and CSV Exporter and Importer.

It will be possible to import users via xml

<YafUserList>
  <YafUser>
    <Name>TestUser</Name>
    <DisplayName>TestUser</DisplayName>
    <Email>TestUser@mydomain.com</Email>
  </YafUser>
</YafUserList>

or via csv

Name,DisplayName,Email
TestUser,TestUser,TestUser@mydomain.com

Its also possible to add all the profile properties.

If you want parse a password you need to add

<YafUserList>
  <YafUser>
    <Name>TestUser</Name>
    <DisplayName>TestUser</DisplayName>
    <Email>TestUser@mydomain.com</Email>
    <Password>PASS1243</Password>
    <SecurityQuestion>Whats the Question?</SecurityQuestion>
    <SecurityAnswer>I dont know.</SecurityAnswer>
  </YafUser>
</YafUserList>

If no password is defined, it will be auto. generated. And emailed to the new user.
