Hikashop Export

Hi,

When using the Hikashop Export system to export the products we have in our database, when we open the exported CSV file in either notepad or excel the data is slightly corrupted because some of the database fields contain carriage return/line feeds (i.e. \r\n) and so this pushes the remainder of the line onto the next line in the CSV and so excel thinks that this is a new record. I am therefore trying to create a custom plugin to fire just as the export button is pressed that will scan the database columns for each record and replace the \r\n characters if found. In order to do this i followed the instructions on the following page www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...nBeforeProductExport . I can successfully install the plugin without any problems. However when i enable the plugin and navigate to any page on the hikashop component, the screen simply goes blank and nothing happens. I have just added the functions to the plugin without adding any code in the function and yet its still broken. I have attached my plugin to this post - perhaps someone can shed some light on why this is happening?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Thanks for your response. Can you let me know if I'm going down the right track with my custom hikashop plugin I.e. will the plugin function I have written fire just before the export runs as I expect it to?

Thanks
