 I am soon wanting to migrate my users and what ever else I can from my 5.6 dolphin site. I need to make a migration script, and dolphin 5.6 does not use password hashing. If possible I want to convert the users passwords during migration.
So the password hashing looks like standard md5. Where does the salt come from? Is it randomly generated? What's the process.... password hashed with md5 then password md5 hashed with salt?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks! |
Any one? |
To my knowledge I think they use sha for password then md5 with random salt and sha hash.
In any case you are also going to struggle with photos as D7 is structured differently.
When I did mine I first migrated everything to D6.1.6 and then used the D7 migration tool which worked a treat.

Tried that. Didn't work. Any other ideas on the hash/salt sequence? |
You should be able to work that out from the information i posted here to reset a admin password. This is written to perform the hashing in MYSQL but you can apply a similar procedure for PHP as well. https://www.deanbassett.com |
Thanks deano. I found the functions in utils.inc.php and got it from that. |

I was going to make a script to transfer and convert the images etc, but if it could be done simply by updating to 6.1.6 that might be a better, faster solution. Is it possible to download older dolphin versions? |

Is it possible to download older dolphin versions? You can find all older releases here, but I'm unsure about upgrading with these files. You may want to send AlexT or someone else at BoonEx a message about older patches, as they might still have them somewhere.

Thanks for that Magnussoft. I'm thinking I might be better off doing it with my own script any way, as have customisations etc. I also suspect that it won't manage videos etc as they would all need to be chucked through ffmpeg. Come to think of it, not sure we even have movies on existing site! So I was mostly panning to migrate users, feedback and photos etc, and I think I'm almost there with that. Any idea what the "Role" database field is for? |

Any idea what the "Role" database field is for? Role field. 1 = standard member, 3 = Admin. No other numbers are currently used in dolphin 7. https://www.deanbassett.com |
