Hi , could it be possible to add an option to select what to bulk export , inteat of just havin g the possibility to bulk export by template?
i'd like to be able to select maybe by date range , or at the very least the possibility to list all generated templates and select them manually.
Is it something that could be possible ?

thanks in advance

Hello,

Extended filters are already in our TODO list, however no yet ETA when it will be available. Currently, the latest RC version has the possibility to search / select entries by entry dataset titles. For example, some field slug can be added to the "Dataset Title" and it's possible to filter by it.


P.S. Unfortunately, Forminator Forms doesn't yet have any field slugs by default that can output the submission date and we haven't yet extended it, but it must be possible to create some hidden field, with a default value with the current date, and use it in the "Dataset Title" (ex: {hidden-1})
We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

hi , yes thanks i am already running the latest rc version, but the dataset selection is unfortunately of no use to me because it appear AFTER the form selection. would it be possible to at least have the possibility to display all entries from all forms, and then filter by dataset?
in the screenshot , i have to select one of the form before seeing all entries, is it possible to have 'all forms' in this dropdown so i can then filter by dataset?

thanks in advance

Hello,

Unfortunately, currently, it's not possible, we will review this possibility in future updates.

P.S. The Template can export only the datasets of the form that is connected to the E2Pdf Template, so that's the reason why selecting the E2Pdf Template is required to output the list of datasets.
We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi , my forms are in production for a while now , and really need a way to bulk export every form created on a single date, because i have nearly 20 forms, so for a given day i need to bulk export nearly 20 times.

Since there doesn't seem to be any improvement on this for nearly a year now, could you point me towards a way i could achieve this? maybe autosend hosting folder when the form is created or something ?

Hello,

For the new entries, you should be able to use the [e2pdf-save] shortcode in the "Success Message" or "Mail Body". For example:

[e2pdf-save id="217" dir="wp-content/uploads/pdfs/form/%date%/" create_dir="true"]

* 217 must be replaced with your Template ID.

Also, you should add the PHP hook to your theme functions.php or as a PHP snippet: https://codefile.io/f/YzUHYkzTgz - it would replace the "%date%" in the shortcode with the 11-10-2024.

With that shortcode, the PDF would be saved under wp-content/uploads/pdfs/form/11-10-2024/ folder, with the name from the "PDF Local Name" in the E2Pdf Template settings.
We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

The shortcode should be modified to:

[e2pdf-save id="217" dir="wp-content/uploads/pdfs/form/%year%/{text-1}/%md%/" create_dir="true"]

The code should be modified to: https://codefile.io/f/twhyJKj0xb
