Hi,

at the moment it is not. I think, when I added the created_by field in Visforms I just "forgot" to add an option which would allow you to include/exclude the field from export.

I could add such an option in the next release.

If you just need to have this field in all your exports (without a form configuration option to set whether it is included or not) you can change the source code.

Open the file administor/components/com_visforms/models/visdatas.php

find the function createExportBuffer ($params = null, $cids = array())
find

Code:

if (isset($params->expfieldcreated) && $params->expfieldcreated == 1)
{
      $buffer .= JText::_( 'COM_VISFORMS_FIELD_CREATED_LABEL' ) . $separator;
}

and add the line

Code:

$buffer .= 'Created By' . $separator;

directly after this code. (In order to have a label in the haeder, if you export with a header

Find the function createPreFields ($params, $row, $separator = ";")

find

Code:

if (isset($params->expfieldcreated) && $params->expfieldcreated == 1)
{
    $data .= $row->created . $separator;
}

Add

Code:

$data .= $row->created_by . $separator;

directly after this code (this will add the userid to each export row).

It's not tested yet, but I think, this will work,

Regards,
Aicha

Hi Aicha, it worked perfectly.
Going to rate your work on JED. Donation will come with the next release, including ID and/or user data export configuration in the administration panel...

thank you very much by now

Thanks,

I already added a new option "included created by" to the Visforms core.
So the changes will be part of Visforms 3.8.2.

But I think it will take me some more time to release this update because I actually wanted to add some other feature to this release as well.

Regards,
Aicha
