RO CSVI 8.8.0 release

RO CSVI 8.8.0 release

The release numbers keep ticking away as we keep chiselling away, we have reached RO CSVI 8.8.0 today. This release has another great feature for your XLSX exports, you can now apply your own formatting to the fields and headers. Further it contains quite a few minor fixes here and there.

XLSX formatting

There has been support for XLSX exports for quite a few years now. However there has also been talk about adding formatting to these outputs and we have listened. A whole range of options has been added for styling the XLSX output. This includes:

  • Font
  • Size
  • Style
  • Alignment
  • Colors

This can be configured for the header row as well for each individual field. So there are a lot of customization options at your disposal.

Raw fields for subform custom fields

The _raw fields support has been extended to Joomla Users, Joomla Contacts, and Joomla Categories import and export.

ICEcat cleanup

The import of ICEcat data has been cleaned up so it should be a bit faster and more robust. Some more logging has been added as well in case of any issues, we should be able to see where it fails. Let us know if you run into any problems.

PHP 8.2

We have added support for PHP 8.2 as well, so there should be no problem running RO CSVI with this up-to-date PHP version.

ACF File Upload

The format in which ACF File Upload values are stored has changed and we have now added support for this as well, so you can keep importing ACF File Upload files.

Timezones

Dealing with timezones is a guaranteed headache for everyone involved. To make like a little easier we have now added the option for you to select in which timezone a date field should be exported. This way you can control on how the dates are exported in a timezone of your choice rather than just a default value.

Joomla 4 table column filter

Since Joomla 4, there is an option to be able to select which columns you want to see in a list. We have added this to the views where we think they are relevant. We hope you enjoy this little extra option.
