export admin notes?

[doctorproctor]

I see at

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10339&hilit=administrative+notes

that administrative notes cannot be imported, but I wonder if there's a simple way to *export* them in s2Pro? I just upgraded for that functionality, as we need to store other information on our members (i.e., whether they have completed certain legal forms), and the best place I can find to store this data seems to be in the general Admin Notes field. I'd thus like to be able to export this admin notes data in csv along with the other user data already included in the export.

As a possible workaround I haven't yet tried, s2 has the Custom Registration Fields capability, though we register all users manually; would it be possible to add a custom reg field for admin use only, and would it be exported via s2Pro with other user fields?

Many thanks,

Jim

I don't know that Admin Notes have an export feature either.

Yes, you could use a custom field for that. Custom fields are exported in the CSV generated by s2Member with the Export tool. You can set those fields' Allow Profile Edits setting to No (uneditable & totally invisible after registration).

I hope that helps.

@TODO: Yea, the importation/exportation of Administrative Notes is not possible in the current release of s2Member Pro v110710. However, I agree with you, this would be useful. I'll see what we can do about this in a future release. Until then, I agree with Cristián, I think a hidden Custom Registration Field might work as a temporary alternative.

Yes, have added custom registration fields, and all is working upon export (though note your CSV export routine adds a new column for each custom field name next to the column for its value, rather than placing the custom field name at the top of the column of values).

Yeah, that's the current way s2Member exports custom fields instead of a column for each field. Only those custom fields for each particular user are exported, no empty ones are included.
