GOAL

Use the simple shortcode [export_filtered_entries] to render a button that triggers a CSV download of the entire GravityView dataset matching the current filters/search.

REQUIREMENTS

• GravityView and Gravity Forms active.
• The shortcode should be used on a page where a GravityView is present, or provide view_id/form_id via attributes.

IMPORTANT

For filtered exports, the shortcode MUST be placed on the same page as the GravityView. If placed elsewhere, it will export all entries without filters.

USAGE EXAMPLES

• Basic (auto-detects current View): [export_filtered_entries]
• With custom label: [export_filtered_entries label="Download All Entries"]
• Specific View by ID: [export_filtered_entries view_id="123"]
• Tab-delimited with custom filename: [export_filtered_entries delimiter="\t" filename="my_export"]

SHORTCODE ATTRIBUTES (all optional)

• view_id: GravityView post ID (defaults to detected current View when used inside a View).
• form_id: Gravity Forms form ID (defaults to the View’s connected form when detectable).
• filename: Base filename without extension (default: filtered_entries).
• delimiter: CSV delimiter character (default: ,). Allowed: ",", ";", "\t" (tab), "|".
• label: Button text (default: Export Filtered View).

Notes

• Exports exactly what the GravityView Table layout renders across all pages; HTML is stripped.
• If a cell’s output is obfuscated in the DOM (e.g., email), the exporter substitutes the raw Gravity Forms value when possible.
