About this plugin
A plugin for WP developers to easily add CSV download links to the admin section or front end. When a specific GET variable is detected (from the download link) your data, which needs to be a multi-dimensional array, is passed to a function that converts it to a csv file and triggers the download.
php.
Admin Example
/** * Instantiate CSVDownload class with appropriate arguments (listed in class). ', 'parameter' => 'csv_export_button', 'button_text' => 'Download' )); }
/** * Get results, convert to csv file, and trigger download. */ if(isset($_GET[$csv_button->parameter])) { add_action('admin_init', function(){ // Get results array $results = get_csv_file_results(); // Convert results array to csv file and trigger download. CSVDownload::download_csv_results(array( 'results' => $results, 'file_name' => 'csv_data' )); exit; }, 1); }
/** * Get the results array for the csv button download. * * @return array */ function get_csv_file_results(){
// Create multi-dimensional array. com','coolguy4','red'), );
// Return results array return $results_array; }
Front End Example
Add a button element to your HTML.
csv_export_button=1">Download</a>
Add init action callback and provide array data.
/** * Get results, convert to csv file, and trigger download. */ if(isset($_GET['csv_export_button'])) { add_action('init', function(){ // Get results array $results = get_csv_file_results(); // Convert results array to csv file and trigger download. CSVDownload::download_csv_results(array( 'results' => $results, 'file_name' => 'csv_data' )); exit; }, 1); }
/** * Get the results array for the csv button download. * * @return array */ function get_csv_file_results(){
