frm_export_view_query_args

Heads up!
This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

Use this hook to remove or change parameters that are added to the Export to CSV link. This hook can be used to protect parameter names and values.

Usage

add_filter( 'frm_export_view_query_args', 'frm_filter_out_confidential_args', 10, 2 );
function frm_filter_out_confidential_args( $query_args, $view_id )

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

Parameters

  • $query_args (array): An associative array of parameters from all sources (URL, View shortcode, frm-set-get) and their values.
  • $view_id (int): The numeric id of the View (the View's post id)

Examples

Use this code example to remove params View params from an export to CSV link. You may have a param with confidential information that you've added to a View shortcode, for example. To protect the param from being added to an export to CSV link for that View, you can use this code example to remove it.

add_filter( 'frm_export_view_query_args', 'frm_filter_out_confidential_args', 10, 2 );

function frm_filter_out_confidential_args( $query_args, $view_id ) {
	if ( $view_id !== 82 ) {
		return $query_args;
	}

	$params_to_remove = array( 'secret', 'private_id' );

	foreach ( $params_to_remove as $param ) {
		unset( $query_args[ $param ] );
	}

	return $query_args;
}
  • Change 82 to the id of your View.
  • Change 'secret', 'private_id' to a comma-separated list of the names of the params you don't want to be added to the export to CSV link.
