Club Listing database incorporation

    Hi All, new to here so please be gentle with me 🙂

    I have a site based around buddypress and need to include 2 listings that are currently on one old database from another site.

    Currently the existing database has a list of members with their personal details but there is also a list of clubs to which they are members, on the old site this was linked to various elements but effectively the members and club details were all from the same db.

    So in BPress i need to be able to deal with the members which is ok as i have them as members/users but also display the clubs and their details in a list with the usual abilities to add/remove/upload/search etc, effectively as i see 2 db’s.

    Any clues, sorry if this is a dumb question, but we all gotta start somewhere!

    @darinn-ballington,

    there is only one user table on a WP/BP install, and this table is controlled by WordPress.

    Extended profile information (like club & there details) are controlled partially by BP and are stored in the 4 xprofile tables.

    To import properly, you have to adjust the old tables structure to the new one first. As you tell nothing about the old db from another site (wp, joomla, postgres, excel,… ?) i can’t say much you more for the moment.

    Anyway, you have to built a import file in CSV or Sql format and probably have to accomplish a long handwork to import.

    Here’s a ressource to help you build your import query:

    As BP is “only” a plugin and your question not specific to it (DB belongs to WP), you will find much more informations around importing datas on the WordPress Codex.
