Have a look at the import8.php script in the /tests directory (or> /tests/import/postn­uke/import_pn.php as it's now called).>

That's one example on how to create a few 10.000s of users in batch.>

Another can be found in the import_phpbb.php script. Feel free> to add other import scripts if you have them ­>

Probably some exception that's not treated properly, and that has> unexpected side-effects. Try enabling logging by changing your> config.system.php file like this :>

$systemConfiguratio­n['Log.LoggerName'] = 'simple';> $systemConfiguratio­n['Log.LoggerArgs'] = array('fileName' =>> 'var/logs/log.txt')­;>

(make sure your webserver can create that logfile)> and see if you get any errors during the import.>

A bit late on this, but...>

You can also use the roles/xaradminapi/c­reate function to create a new> role. The authldap module uses this function to create a new role based> on the information returned from searching LDAP.>

Example (from the authldap module):>

$rid = xarModAPIFunc('role­s',> 'admin',> 'create',> array('uname' => $uname,> 'realname' => $realname,> 'email' => $email,> 'pass' => $pass,> 'date' => $now,> 'valcode' => 'createdbyldap',> 'state' => 3,> 'authmodule' => 'authldap'));>

As an aside, you should always try to use a modules API and not> circumvent a modules API by calling a xaradmin or xaruser function> directly.>
