ECI 6.2.9 For WP 3.2.1
I worked a late one last night when I seen what a mess the Easy CSV Importer interface was when using it with the latest version of WordPress. It was not good at all. I also fixed some bugs and re-wrote the menu code to use WordPress roles rather then the old approach of levels.
Notice
You should test this version on a test blog before using it with an existing project and backup your existing project. There is a lot of changes happening to the plugin that will make old installations none compatible. Changes in WordPress and PHP also require everyone to use only the latest version of Easy CSV Importer. That includes free editions, unless your sticking with your old versions of WordPress also then that is fine.
Some changes made…
Style Sheet Includes Removed
Styles included by ECI, previously required for much of the interface to work. Now need to be removed, this is a big reason why ECI 6.2.9 is only suitable for the latest WordPress version 3.2.1 and later. All seems to work fine when they are removed in this later version of WordPress. If they are kept in, it causes the admin menu to vanish and everything is positioned badly on the screen.
This change was done to eci_header()
Category Descriptions – 3 Columns
There are now 3 columns for category description alone. The idea is that you can string together up to 3 values to create a unique category description. This is handy for some and another slight improvement towards SEO for everyone.
Current Saved Conditions
Your saved conditions will now show clearly, either the form itself will hold the values you have entered or a table will list multiple conditions, depending on the condition feature. Where applicable you can delete conditions
Custom Fields Errors Undefined $cfkey
This has been fixed, I’m not sure how this one managed to get passed me for so long considering custom fields have been working great. Upgraded my PHP and the errors appeared. No doubt many of you would never have got errors and it worked fine but some will know what I’m talking about. This was also communicated by a recent buyer of ECI who has been helping me track down any issues in the plugin.
