    In desperation: Willing to pay for answer to this question

    Hi,

    I have a simple question that I urgently need an answer to. Having tried to get support from Appthemes without success, I am now at the point where I am willing to pay someone to tell me the answer. Please contact me urgently if you would like to work with me on this, including your price for a fix.

    Here's my problem:

    I have a custom form in Vantage, with a number of custom fields that are comprised of multiple checkboxes. Each checkbox group allows 'tick all that apply'.

    If I add a new listing via the front end, each checkbox value that is ticked gets written to wp_postmeta as a separate row. So for days of week, a row each for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc...

    If I add a listing via the CSV importer, all the checkbox values get added to wp_postmeta as a single row. So for days of week, one single row in wp_postmeta containing meta_value of 'Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday etc'.


    Because I have additional custom coding elsewhere that relies on the values being stored in the way they are for the front end, I desperately need to get the CSV importer to work in an identical way to the front end.

    Vantage documentation advises including additional custom fields in the CSV importer using a small function in your child theme's functions.php which I have done. The fields go into Vantage OK, it's just that they are being stored the wrong way.

    This is how I am currently adding the custom field 'day' to my CSV importer:

    Code:
    $args['custom_fields']['day'] = array( 'internal_key' => 'app_day' );
    I believe I need to rewrite this to tell the Importer to handle the value passed as an array, but I don't know how.

    The code in framework/admin/importer.php has this in the comments:

    Code:
    	/*
    	 * Args can have 3 elements:
    	 * 'taxonomies' => array( 'valid', 'taxonomies' ),
    	 * 'custom_fields' => array(
    	 * 		'csv_key' => 'internal_key',
    	 *		'csv_key' => array(
    	 *			'internal_key' => 'key',
    	 *			'default' => 'value'
    	 *		)
    	 *	),
    	 * 'tax_meta' => array( array( 'tax' => array( 'csv_key' => 'tax_key' ) )
    	 */
    which I believe hold the answer, but I cannot for the life of me translate that comment into the correct code to add to my custom_csv_fields function in my child theme's functions.php.


    All I want is for someone to give me the correct structure for that one single line


    Code:
    $args['custom_fields']['day'] = array( 'internal_key' => 'app_day' );
    to enable the importer to treat the value passed as an array.


    I would *LOVE* to get this resolved today and would love to hear from anyone who might be able to help. I repeat I am willing to pay for a resolution to this issue.

    Frustratedly, but optimistically....
