I have a custom field (advselectbox) which uses organization names for labels and IDs for values.

When I export contacts, then the IDs are exported. What do I have to do so the IDs are changed to org names before creating the csv?
I figured it would be in the CRM/Export/BAO/Export.php file, is it true?

I cant use that hook because i'm still using version 3.1.4 and I cannot upgrade at this time.

Thank you for your help.

I added the export hook and now its working fine.

I just added the hook call to the export.php file just before creating the csv file:
require_once 'CRM/Utils/Hook.php';
CRM_Utils_Hook::export( $headerRows, $componentDetails, $exportMode );

added the export function to the utils.php:
    static function export(&$headerRows, &$componentDetails, &$exportMode) {
        $config = CRM_Core_Config::singleton( );
        require_once( str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $config->userHookClass) . '.php' );
        $null = & CRM_Core_DAO::$_nullObject;
        return
        eval('return ' .
                $config->userHookClass .
                '::invoke( 4, $headerRows, $componentDetails, $exportMode, $null, $null, \'civicrm_export\' );');
    }

and then i was able to use the hook.

I only needed to change some values (ids to names) in the data and that seems to be enough.
