Exporting Custom Donor Metadata

[HowdyMcGee]

Hello,

It seems like GiveWP now uses a different export Class for Donors. I used to be able to use the give_export_donors_get_default_columns hook to add in labels, and the give_export_get_data_donors hook to add in values. It doesn't look like these hooks fire anymore. What's the best way to add in custom Donor Metadata to the export file?

Hey @HowdyMcGee, thanks for raising this to our attention. I briefly tested these filters out and we may need to include the column filter in the DonorExport class. I'll bring this up to the team. Let's keep this discussion open for now and I'll provide you with an update through this channel.

Is there anything I can do to ensure that this doesn't get lost in the dev process? Unfortunately, my client cannot export the custom metadata I've deved without these hooks.

Hey @HowdyMcGee, just wanted to give you a quick update. We've implemented a fix for the issue we discussed earlier, and it's currently in the review process. This should address the problem with the custom metadata export hooks.

Hello! I was able to get this working, but I am having trouble getting the column keys to populate.

For example, I can add the selectable checkboxes via the give_export_donors_get_default_columns hook, and they appear fine, but in the give_export_get_data_donors hook the keys aren't populated as empty strings in the data array, they're just not there. So in the actual data hook I don't know which keys were selected.

Any ideas on how I can ensure that my custom key is either selected or set while I'm in the data hook callback?
