Retrieving customers' passwords from DB

Hi,

I am trying to rebuild the whole site from scratch on ZC v. 1.3.8a.
In order to do so I would have to re-enter customer's passwords in a new DB.
Is there a way to do so?
There might be other suggestions on how to do this, I am listening eagerly.
Thanks.

Re: Retrieving customers' passwords from DB

Can apply the DB tables for customers to the new install and include the address tables

Re: Retrieving customers' passwords from DB

Hey Kobra,

Actually I would like to ask you a question.
I am doing this because I would like to get rid of some mods that I installed on my live site, like Improved Attributes Controller and Stock by Attributes.
I know how to uninstall Stock by Attributes (thanks to Kuroi), and I know that the Attributes Controller will be improved in v. 1.4.
So, what do you think is best? To replicate the live site in my local server, upgrade it there and reload, or rebuild everything?
Also, this is a bit obscure for me "Can apply the DB tables for customers to the new install and include the address tables".
Would you mind elaborating a bit?
Thanks.

Re: Retrieving customers' passwords from DB

If this is all that you need/want then follow kuroi's uninstall.

Improved attributes controller is only a single file and no DB insertion/patch so restoring the original file will remove it

If you are not up to speed at this time with the DB I suggest that you not attempt altering it - and in any case ALWAYS BACKUP First.

Each table contains certian info so to move customers to another DB you need each table from the donor DB that has customer info and this includes the address tables. Orders - for orders you need all tables that are touched when an order is placed/fullfiled and should include tables that contain transaction(payment) data and so forth

Re: Retrieving customers' passwords from DB

Thanks for the advice.
In fact, I am not up to speed with the DB.
I always backup and even store whole backups, including DB, so I might try playing around with it when I have the time.
But I certainly think that the way you recommend is faster and more secure.
Best regards.
