ECI 6.0.2
This version has important changes and I recommend trying it. Please test it on a new installation first.
Key Changes
- We’ve jumped ahead in versions to ensure that the free edition is not offered as an update from the WordPress plugin directory.
- A new export function has been added for testing, it will allow any tables and any columns to be exported into a single csv file. Read more about this function below.
- A fix has been applied for some tokens not being replaced
Sales Increase
For some weeks sales dropped to almost none. I struggled to find out why but did eventually solve the issue and the plugin is at full strength again. Another month of development will indicate this as many advanced functions being to appear.
Version 6.0.2 Changes
- eci_populatedesign no longer uses the sql version of column name to access record array, default is required. This fixes the problem some people experienced with tokens not being replaced. It would happen if your titles were upper case because the plugin was looking for their lower case version.
- Added parameter to eci_debugmode to activate or disable error display through easy-csv-importer.php. We can now open the main plugin file and force WordPress to show errors or hide them using this change.
- Added @ to various lines in eci_log to prevent errors when log cannot be accessed by servers that are not giving permissions. If you see errors regarding permissions, it is normally something to contact your hosting about.
- $fileChunks[1] in eci_csvfilelist_newproject will no longer cause errors if folder contains none csv files.
- Designs page token lists should no longer display error when looking for files within the plugins own folder
- ECITB global has been removed from all files
- Made a correction to eci_cloakedurlsubmission, it should now record click statistics properly
- If user adds the same csv directory twice, duplicate entries of the same csv file will no longer be displayed
- Import results message with import button how shows project import project and indicates when complete
Export MySQL To CSV
I spent some of today creating a new function which can be tested using a button currently at the top of the BETA Testing page. The function allows us to export data from our WordPress MySQL database to a csv file which can be downloaded. It is very basic compared to what I have planned for it. For example right now the tables and columns exported are in the source code, there is no interface yet. The next step is to create an interface that will allow users to select the tables they need to export data from and select the specific columns that they need added to their csv file.
Please show interest in this function by leaving a comment below. The more interest that is shown the higher priority I will make export features.
