Adding export fields

You can expand the default set of fields that are exported by the CSV Exporter Extension. There are 4 types of fields you can add: download, download meta, version, and version meta. The key of the array is the database field and the value is the label you want to use in your CSV file. Below is per type an example.

Include Download meta

In this example we add dummy download meta to the export file:

// Export Download meta example
function dlm_csv_export_include_download_meta( $fields ) {
	$fields['dummy_meta'] = 'Dummy Meta';

	return $fields;
}

add_filter( 'dlm_ce_extra_fields_download_meta', 'dlm_csv_export_include_download_meta' );

Include Version data

In this example, we add the version ID to the export file.

function dlm_csv_export_include_version_id( $fields ) {
	$fields['id'] = 'Version ID';

	return $fields;
}

add_filter( 'dlm_ce_extra_fields_version', 'dlm_csv_export_include_version_id' );

Include Version meta

In this example, we add dummy download meta to the export file.

function dlm_csv_export_include_version_meta( $fields ) {
	$fields['dummy_version_meta'] = 'Version Meta';

	return $fields;
}

add_filter( 'dlm_ce_extra_fields_version_meta', 'dlm_csv_export_include_version_meta' );

Exporting the downloads’ report using this extension

If you want to export your reports you can do so by going to your WP dashboard > Downloads > Reports > click the red Export button. They will be downloaded in a CSV file.

FAQ

Will the CSV Exporter extension export all versions?

Yes, it will. Each version is added as a ‘version’ row to the CSV file, each version row contains all the version data like download count.

Is the generated CSV file importable by the CSV Importer extension?

Yes, it is. The CSV Importer is thoroughly tested in importing the CSV file generated by the CSV Exporter. Both extensions will always remain compatible with each other in the future. Please note that not all custom added export fields will be importable.
