Hi, Torsten!
Accessing the Tiki database directly would be another possibility. But the Tiki 21 database schema contains no less than 271 (!) tables. And I couldn't find any documentation about them yet, on dev.tiki.org. I'm still investigating. I'd have to read the Tiki source code in order to determine what tables and attributes I have to manipulate. It might be easier to do it like I've planed, the way I have described in the message which you just answered. Iff it will work like I've planed, and that still is the question.

Regards, Volker
