So you want to import customer accounts but you’ve to generate the password hash? here you’ve the algorithm used by Magento Professional (which is different from Magento Community, but you can easily find that one in the net):

$passhash = hash("sha256", $salt . $password) . ":$salt";

By the way, for the community it’s

$passhash = md5($salt . $password) . ":$salt";

I’ve run into a few posts about this thing but none of them was working out of the box so I took all the info and glued them together so…

if you’ve to create a custom attribute for a Magento order but you don’t have a module (and its installer script) simply create a php file in the project’s root with this code:

require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage::getModel('core/store')->load(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID));
$installer = new Mage_Sales_Model_Mysql4_Setup;
$attribute  = array(
        'type'          => 'text',
        'backend_type'  => 'text',
        'frontend_input' => 'text',
        'is_user_defined' => true,
        'label'         => 'Your attribute label',
        'visible'       => true,
        'required'      => false,
        'user_defined'  => false,
        'searchable'    => false,
        'filterable'    => false,
        'comparable'    => false,
        'default'       => ''
);
$installer->addAttribute('order', 'your_attribute_code', $attribute);
$installer->endSetup();

This attribute is a “text” and it’s made not to be visible but just to use it as a container for some data you may need in your custom development, more info may come in comments if you need.
