Forminator uploading multiple files to google sheets

Hi @pheather

I hope you’re well today!

It’s a bug in the plugin and our Forminator Team is already aware of it and working on a fix. I don’t have an ETA though.

I have asked our developers if there would be a patch possible before that and I’m waiting for their response. Please keep an eye on this ticket and we’ll update you here soon with more information.

Best regards,
Adam

Hi @pheather

I just got feedback from our developers and they shared this code which should help for now, until the fix is included in the plugin:

<?php
add_filter( 'forminator_entry_meta_value_to_string', function( $string_value, $field_type, $meta_value, $allow_html, $truncate ) {
	if ( 'upload' !== $field_type ) {
		return $string_value;
	}
	$separator = ','; // Change this by your custom separator.
	return str_ireplace( '<br/>', $separator, $string_value );
}, 10, 5 );

It would replace the BR tag with a “separator” – in this case it’s a comma but you can replace it with space/blank or any other character in this line

$separator = ','; // Change this by your custom separator.

To apply it to the site, you would need to add it as Must Use plugin:

– create an empty file with a .php extension (e.g. “forminator-gsheet-uploads-separator.php”)
– copy and paste code into it
– save the file and upload it (using FTP or similar method) to the “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress install; if there’s no “mu-plugins” folder right in “wp-content”, just create an empty one first.

It should then work out of the box (though for new submissions – after the code is added).

Best regards,
Adam
