Unable to export Advanced Content Type Pod with custom database table

Open iamrobreynolds opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Upon activating, I did not see any of my ACT pods, only User and meta, CPT, etc.

This has been the only thing missing from Pods that keeps me using ACF. I hope this plugin continues to evolve, I see much potential for developers with this one.

Because table-based (ACT, etc) pods have to perform MySQL operations to create the tables and columns, these are currently not available within the scope of exporting their configurations into PHP. We're open to ideas on how to handle this, but currently it will take quite a bit more preparation and thought to cover those cases than what we've got up right now. We're definitely going to continue developing this plugin, it will become more useful once in Pods 3.x we move our wp_podsrel table from using IDs into using Keys so that relationships can be registered through code too.
