My customer service uses (wonderful) Easy Profile to manage not persons but some kind of institutional members (medic companies).
From this reason, users name consists not from name and lastname but organization name,
b.e.
Przychodnia "Medi-cover" NZOZ
I need import (update) often additional data (some numbers) for this kind of users into Joomla.
But there is a problem.
I use data fresh exported from EasyProfile and modified only inside additional fields.
I use
name;username;email;(this is order from export file) to identify updated users, but:
- if I do this from backend, "Missing some required fields: Email" error occurs; (while email field is present)
- if I do this from fronted, import is done, but names with quotation marks
"are distorted by many additional quotation marks
B.e.
Przychodnia "Medi-cover" NZOZ
becomes
"Przychodnia ""Medi-cover"" NZOZ"
For me, best way to identify users is username, not name.
I think, this is more logical, because username cannot be repeated in Joomla while name or even firstname and lastname can be.
