Hi!

I’m currently creating a complete custom CSV export plugin for EE since our client has some specific requirements for the output.

However in the meantime I figured I’d have them use the builtin registration export in EE. The only problem is that you have a hardcoded delimiter value in your custom fputcsv2 function in EE_CSV.class.php to “,” which is fine for US but not for us. If we open a CSV with , as delimiter everything ends up in a single cell. We use ; (not sure how widespread it is but I’m pretty sure that it applies for most of europe at least).

I’ve changed the hardcoded value but you should consider adding a filter for it so it can be altered without messing with core. Gravity forms have implemented this solution which lets me change it easily:

add_action("gform_export_separator", "change_separator", 10, 2);
	function change_separator($separator, $form_id){
	    return ";";
	}

Also, I’m considering letting others in the EE community take advantage of the addons I’ve created for this project. What’s the policy on that?
