Hey guys,
I had to ask how do we export our EasySocial users to another site. The reason I'm asking is because our EasySocial is acting up and I have to uninstall it. I don't want to take the risk of losing our users though :S
Hi,

EasySocial does not handle user database by its own, instead it is using Joomla's user database. Any user who register through EasySocial, will be added in Joomla's user database. So as long as you export the table 'prefix_users', you are safe.

Hello Humza,

When you uninstall EasySocial, your data will remain intact You don't have to worry about the data being deleted.

Hi,

`prefix_users` is the native Joomla user table.

`prefix_social_users` is EasySocial's extended user table where it only contains extra data that EasySocial needs.

`prefix_users` need to be there for Joomla to work properly.

Hi,

I tested by executing the sql "select * from #__users" and verified that the table does indeed exist and there are data, which means the table #__users does exist. Please check this on your database.
