gform_leads_before_export

Description

Allows entries to be changed before export is executed.

Usage

Apply to all forms.

add_filter( 'gform_leads_before_export', 'my_modify_entries_before_export_function', 10, 3 );

Apply to a specific form.

add_filter( 'gform_leads_before_export_{$form_id}', 'my_modify_entries_before_export_function', 10, 3 );

Parameters

  • $entries array
    An array of entry objects to be exported
  • $form array
    The current form object
  • $pagingarray
    The current paging for the export. Includes the following properties:
    • offset integer
      Increases by 1 with each “page” of entries the export has processed
    • page_size integer
      Number of entries per page. Defaults to 20

Examples

This example demonstrates how to use this hook to convert the entry object’s default “created_by” property (which is a user ID) to instead output the user’s display name.

add_filter( 'gform_leads_before_export', 'use_user_display_name_for_export', 10, 3 );
function use_user_display_name_for_export( $entries, $form, $paging ) {
	foreach( $entries as &$entry ) {

	$user = new WP_User( $entry['created_by'] );
	if ( ! $user->ID )
		continue;
	
	$entry['created_by'] = $user->get( 'display_name' );

	}

	return $entries;
}

Placement

This code can be used in the functions.php file of the active theme, a custom functions plugin, a custom add-on, or with a code snippets plugin.
