Bug in CSV after adding form fields

  • Hi,
    you made a great work with CFDB7!

    I think I found just a little bug.

    Let’s say you create a form and start receiving mails, and then decide to add new fields to that form and export data to CSV.
    If you do so the collected data in CSV will go under wrong columns and the CSV will get messy.

    Please export csv and delete all data.

    Exporting CSV after adding new columns to forms is useless.
    The data in exported CSV are messy and CSV is unusable.
    The solution is fixing CSV export function in order to obtain coherent data even after adding form fields.

    May be this could help:

    Hi actxc,
    I understand that your function does what follows:
    – removes the unnecessary conditional fields
    – removes CR-LF from textfields
    – orders the export array according to the header as defined in the form
    – adds a dash into empty fields

    I’m afraid this does not help.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Please follow bellow step before add new field after few days.
    First expor current CSV file.
    Then delete all saved data and add new field.

    it solved my problem, when I started to use conditional fields
    Plugins:
    Contact Form 7
    Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields
    Contact Form CFDB7

    I thought it might solve other CSV problems as well.
