FAQ

No problem. You can use the gfexcel_output_meta_info or gfexcel_output_meta_info_{form_id} hooks to disable
this feature. Or (since version 1.4.0) you can select individual fields you want to exclude on the settings page.

Just add this to your functions.php:

add_filter( 'gfexcel_output_meta_info', '__return_false' );

You can disable the hyperlinks by using the gfexcel_renderer_disable_hyperlinks-hook.

//add this to your functions.php add_filter('gfexcel_renderer_disable_hyperlinks','__return_true');

A number field is formatted as a number, but most fields default to a string.
As of this moment, there are 3 field types. Boolean,String and Numeric. You can set these per field.

//add this to your functions.php use GFExcel\Values\BaseValue;  add_filter('gfexcel_value_type',function($type, $field) {     if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {         //Possible values are 'bool', 'string' or 'numeric',         //or, use the constant, preferred:         return BaseValue::TYPE_NUMERIC; //TYPE_STRING, TYPE_BOOL     } }, 10, 2);

Since most values are Value Objects, we can interact with them, and trigger a setUrl function on a value.

//add this to your functions.php add_filter('gfexcel_value_object',function($value, $field) {     if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {         $value->setUrl('https://wordpress.org');     } }, 10, 2);

By default the notes are disabled for performance. If you’d like to add these to the row you can activate this like so:

//add this to your functions.php add_filter('gfexcel_field_notes_enabled','__return_true'); //or add_filter('gfexcel_field_notes_enabled_{formid}','__return_true'); // e.g., gfexcel_field_notes_enabled_2

Definitely! You get to change: text color, background color, bold and italic. If that is not enough, maybe you should add clip art!

//add this to your functions.php add_filter('gfexcel_value_object', function (BaseValue $value, $field, $is_label) {     // Need to know if this field is a label?     if (!$is_label) {         return $value;     }      $value->setColor('#ffffff'); //font color, needs a six character color hexcode. #fff won't cut it here.     $value->setBold(true); // Bold text     $value->setItalic(true); // Italic text (to be combined with bold)     $value->setBackgroundColor('#0085BA'); // background color      // $field is the GF_Field object, so you can use that too for some checks.     return $value; }, 10, 3);

You can hide a row by adding a hook. Checkout this example:

add_filter('gfexcel_renderer_hide_row', function ($hide, $row) {      foreach ($row as $column) {          if ($column->getFieldId() === 1 && empty($column->getValue())) {              return true; // hide rows with an empty field 1          }      }      return $hide; // don't forget me!  }, 10, 2);

Just add this to your functions.php:

add_filter( 'gfexcel_output_meta_info', '__return_false' );

Since most values are Value Objects, we can interact with them, and trigger a setUrl function on a value.

//add this to your functions.php add_filter('gfexcel_value_object',function($value, $field) {     if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {         $value->setUrl('https://wordpress.org');     } }, 10, 2);
