ECI Version 6.1.1
There is a fix in this for those of you using files with special characters in them. It was causing errors regarding the “rename” php function and they would show on the Import panel. Those errors should stop now, please notify me if there are any issue at all. Remember, using csv files that have no special characters such as hyphens will solve the problem.
Other Changes
- Translation: Easy CSV Importer is now fully ready to be translated. I need volunteers to translate using software like PoEdit.
- Affiliate Partners: a page has been added to support affiliates, it currently holds banners, it will be improved with an API if the partners program is a success
- Interface Messages: added a new function named eci_not and it will be used to apply a standard format to general notifications within panels
- Settings: I changed the Testing panel to Developers. It will no longer allow error display, too many people activating it and blaming errors from other plugins on eci
- Error Display: you can no longer activate error display on the settings page, the ability to trigger it by url will be provided later for now it can be done in code
Error Display
I’m discouraging the use of Error Display by none professionals. A great deal of my time is currently spent explaining to people that errors from other plugins are not caused by Easy CSV Importer, they are only being shown by it. I think this ability should only be provided to developers who have the experience to understand what the notifications mean and the fact that 99% of the time they are not critical. Hence why WordPress hides them by default.
To activate error display, please open easy-csv-importer-2.php and scroll down until you find the eci_debug() function. Change the value in that function parameter to either false or true.
