Bulk Loading Form Buider Database Fields

[gbkovacs]

I am in the process of moving members into emembers. I have the published data skeleton file but am building a custom form using the emember form builder addon. When I add the custom form, does the database fields in the wp_emember_form_builder_fields override the basic wp_emember_members_tbl? Or do I need to do some type of split data load? I have about 300 member records to load. Thanks.

Only the custom field info will be handled and stored by the form builder addon (and the corresponding DB table). All the core fields are stored and kept with the main plugin. This way if you later deactivated the form builder addon, all the main functionality will continue to work (you just won’t see the custom fields).

You shouldn’t have any issue with importing the core member data fields (since those data types are defined).

The main issue is always with custom fields. Handling those are very complex as each individual will have a completely random and different sets of custom fields (that are of different types).
