Building New Site with Old Users
Permalink
I have built a new site using Concrete5 5.6.3.4 my old site is running 5.5.0 I noticed that somewhere along the way the password hashing has changed. Is there a way I can copy my Users table from the old site to my new site and have the passwords work. Or take the encrypted password from 5.5.0 and update it to 5.6.3.4.
Not sure if this is in the right forum. If anyone could suggest a better place please let me know.
Is there a reason that you are creating a new site instead of upgrading your current site? There isn't a good way to move the users from one install to another and retain passwords that I know of.
The reason I am rebuilding rather than upgrading is I have a lot of custom Codeigniter scripts that deal with Cookies and C5 handles cookies differently between the versions.
After reading through the User model I see that they did create a legacy script that checks for a SALT. I copied the salt from the old site.php in config to the new one and then copied the users over and it works.
