Using Filters to Add Data Columns

I really like your plugin. Thank you for all your work!

I was attempting to use WP filters to add/change columns in the imported data (for example to create a username from first_name and last_name) but the number of columns is already calculated by the time the filter is called. It’s not a big problem, but could be useful.

There is a simple fix, that should not change anything else. Adding a filter for the “header” data (so the header columns can be changed) and moving the apply_filters() call for the other rows up before the number of columns check (so the column count in both still match) would do it.

So, in v1.11.3.7 , the existing line 120 onwards becomes:

if($row == 0):
	$data = apply_filters('pre_acui_import_header', $data);
	// check min columns username - email
	if(count( $data ) < 2){

And existing line 157 becomes:

else:
	$data = apply_filters('pre_acui_import_single_user_data', $data, $headers);

	if( count( $data ) != $columns ): // if number of columns is not the same that columns in header

Is this something that you would consider adding?

Thanks Again
