Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 16, 20223 yr We need to get over 3000 unique codes, one to each user in a specific user group. They will be in a CSV or spreadsheet We could put this in a field, or send a PM. Our site is in CIC. What suggestions would you have for doing this? Direct DB access? Get a plug in made? Manual is out, even with ten of us because the codes need to go up with timing to online sales. Thanks JM
February 16, 20223 yr Community Expert CiC does not include direct database access. Your best bet would be to have some sort of plugin created or to leverage the REST API to script the work.

I think a plug in would be best too. I thought there was a way to get DB access in CIC. It's not obvious, but thought it was there. Perhaps they (understandably) don't want to make it easy.

February 16, 20223 yr Community Expert There used to be access to the SQL tool in the Support area of the ACP. But that was removed awhile back. As @Muddy Bootsnoted... there is not any sort of direct access to the files or data. Think of it like working in Gmail.
