I have a lot of groups I need to create.  Is there a way to automate this?  Would some custom sql work?

I have been reading through the stored procedures and tables trying to figure out what all table data will need to be inserted. Are these the tables that need data? Are there any that I'm missing?

dbo_activeforums_Forums
dbo_activeforums_Security

dbo_activesocial_Groups
dbo_activesocial_Groups_Forums
dbo_activesocial_Groups_Members

dbo_Roles
dbo_UserRoles

I'm going to need to create quite a few groups in the near future. An API of some sort would be really handy.

If you're planning on this run SQL profiler on a test system while you create a group. Some things are likely handled on the front end (image storage?) but you can get a good idea of what is called and what data to pass in from this info,

Excellent idea, Steven. Thanks!

Steven I am not very knowledgeable with this. Is there any way I could get a little more help with this?

I wrote a whole bunch of SQL scripts to convert from the ST Group module to the AS group module - I am not supporting them but you can have them to get you started? Email me at rod . smart-thinker.com if you want them. It does groups, group members, categories and notifications.
