Migrate from Joomla to Perch
Currently, there are 400+ users in the existing Joomla site, which I'm migrating to Perch.
Passwords in Joomla starts with $2y, in Perch it's $P$. I know nothing about encryption, and would like some advice on how to migrate Joomla users to Perch without users having to change their passwords.
Those are different encryption methods, so you can't just move the encrypted passwords.
Thanks Drew. Guess I'll have to find ways to convert it.
You'll probably just have to have the new users go through a password reset process. These password encryption methods are used specifically so that the password isn't stored.
Thanks for the advice! =)
I was hoping we can avoid doing that. For curiosity's sake, I'll still try any methods for conversion before resorting to password reset.
