Then I created an editor. When I logged in as that editor, I have a forms menu with "Import/Export" and Help. Under Import/Export, I have options to export entries, export forms, and import forms. Unfortunately, all those options work, which is not what you want to make available to your editors.</p> <p>I'm not the the capabilities are granular enough to restrict the editor role to just export entries.</p> <p>You could, instead, copy the existing export routine, and create a function or plugin which makes that available to your editors. That would require some programming and is not as simple as using a shortcode, as you've done in the past. The feature you're used to from Contact Form 7 and the database extension does not yet exist in Gravity Forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-to-download-csv#post-87248 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:15:14 +0000 bethannon 87248@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you briefly describe how an editor-level user would access gravity data thru the export_entries function? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-to-download-csv#post-87212 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:09:50 +0000 Chris Hajer 87212@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't know of a programmatic way to create a CSV export: there is no functionality built in to Gravity Forms to do this at this time.</p> <p>There is a Gravity Forms permission called "gravityforms_export_entries" which you could grant to your editors to allow them access to just this one function. It would not be a link to the download, but it would allow them to create their own download. They would have access to entries for all forms at that point. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-to-download-csv#post-87151 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:37:56 +0000 bethannon 87151@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm interested in creating a way for my client to download a csv from the database of form submissions for a specific form. I've done this in CF7 and their database extension with a short code on a page-- but I'd really love to take advantage of additional features in GF!</p> <p>I only give these clients access to "editor" roles, so that they can't get in and mess up the plugins and their configurations. Is there a way (through a shortcode perhaps), that the client can get the info from submitted forms without admin access?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Bet </p>
