If you are interested in an exporter with automation, schedule and the ability to customise the resulting exported .csv files. Then please post in the plugins forum and state exactly what you need the plugin to do.
This project will not be high priority until a gradual show of interest happens. However, it is still on my list as I will need the plugin myself eventually.
]]>The reason for so many different views in this plugin is to offer the perfect solution within a specific view. Once the user knows what they need to do and what they need from WTG CSV Exporter. I can create an applicable view or point them to an existing one.
They then use that view and only that view.
If I was to offer everything from one view it would mean the more basic needs are complicated by far more options. I’ve yet to add the options I speak about but what I have in mind will eventually lead to complex views.
Another advantage to creating and keeping many views is being able to use them as a template. Anyone can pick a view that almost meets their needs, duplicate it then adjust it per their requirements. This can lead to yet another simplified view that is not over-complicated by options that are not required.
]]>If you have looked at my new plugin the first thing that stands out is multiple views. Most export tools are very basic but I like to explore ideas that might make people realize – they have always needed more.
With this plugin I’m practicing the idea that some users/business may need the ability to export their WordPress data to multiple different .csv files. They may need to do this on a regular basis. Existing tools may require them to use one form for each file and each time they need to perform the export.
I honestly have no idea if anyone out there is going that – but it doesn’t matter. Sometimes no-one asks for something they need because they don’t realize how bad they need it.
