I have an existing site built on DotNetNuke, but we are considering a migration to Orchard CMS. I would like to avoid requiring our users to re-register on the new Orchard site, but have not been able to find any tools or information for migrating users. My biggest concern is dealing with hashed passwords.
Does anyone have experience migrating users between these two CMSs?
It depends on the password encryption that was used. Some encryption types can be decrypted and some cannot.
I wrote a DNN module that would could decrypt passwords because the company wanted to set up users on another website. They wanted to use the same username/password and make it transparent for the employees. You could modify this to just write all the usernames/passwords to a database table or file.
It was based off code like this: DNN Decrypting Password or Another SqlMembership Decryption article
You could also buy a module off the DNN store to export users: Bulk User Export
But, none of these methods will work if your site is using a one-way hashing algorithm. The only thing you can do if that is the case is import the users with a set password.
After you get the users exported, you just have to import them into Orchard via some importing tool like: Orchard Import

Hello I'm having some issues with accessing my wp-admin after migrating a website onto a Chinese server.
I used WP Migrate DB plugin to ensure all mentions of my old domain was replaced with the new domain.
I deactivated plugins, changed the theme, created a new admin user, checked user roles and a few other possible solutions that I can't recall at this time.
Looking for general ideas on how to resolve this that I might not have tried.
Thanks

I have experience developing in MS Access and some Java programming with Adobe Flash Builder.
I would like to create a website where a user can sign in and share and post things similar to Facebook, i.e a social network. I would like to know what is the best program for developing a website (for someone who does not come from an html background) and what is the best database to support this type of website i.e ( Oracle, Mysql ... )
If you have any advice or input please let me know. All advice is effective for me.
A user based website should be implemented both at the front end and the back-end of the application. Components such as username, login, and other information should be obtained upon sign in in order to implement a user-based website. The back end of the site should be on a production server that consists of both php and a sql server system of some sort.
I have a hard question. I'd like the joomla login does not use its own database for users/password but I want to use my database users with my table fields, my passwords etc..
I don't know from where start, I thought I could edit database request for login to my db or create a little script to automatically add the users on joomla database.
I tried to see components/com_users/views/login/tmpl/default_login.php but it seems that there is nothing.
Can someone help me figure out what to change?
Maybe the simple thing is import my database users into database user joomla, is there any plugin or something else that you know?
p.s. I use Clarion theme build on Gantry framework, Joomla! 2.5.6 Stable, PHP 5.2.17
I would suggest that you find or create an authentication plugin that does this for you. Joomla can support multiple authentication systems.
Have a look at creating an Authentication Plugin for Joomla 1.5. The basic idea is described there.
I am trying to develop a store locator script. May exist for WordPress however, after they are installed, no matter who logs into WordPress, each user is adding/deleting entries inside that one database of addresses.
I would like to have it so that each user belongs to a group/company. When they login to WordPress, they can only see their entries in the database.
What would be the best way to implement this?
Implement the stores as custom post types and do not give your regular users the capability edit_others_posts.
WordPress will then not show stores from other users, you don't have to do anything else.
