exporting fields

:ohmy:
hi guys,
is it possible to export the "created by" field displayed in the data page? it's very critical to us..
thank you in advance,

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

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

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.
