Export Results from a FORM to a .csv file

[alenseb]

Hi Guys,

I have developed a form which takes in two values as Input into a query.
Now i want to export the results into a .csv file.

I know that its possible in a view by adding "module name=Export".

So is it possible to add Module tag in a form.

Or is there any other way to do this??

Please help!!

See here

You probably need to be using advanced XML for this. Do you display the results on the form too ?

Update

Backup the XML in your form

Load your view, now add '?showsource=t' to the end of the URL and hit enter.

Scroll down to the box with all the xml in it - copy it.

Go back, and edit hte XML in your view.

Remove everything and paste in the advanced XML, press save.

Make sure the view loads properly.

Edit it again, now add

<module name="Export"/>

at the same node level as <module name="SimpleResultsTable" .... >

Save

You should see the export button

The Advanced Form Search XML solved my problem.

I have a searchTemplate, fieldset,row & Table Tags in my Form.
So where can i add a module tag?
Will this add a button onto the screen.

Not at all. I have several forms with exports. Can you post the XML definition of your form? It should simply be a matter of adding <module name="Export"/> in the right place

Yeah..
I display the results on the form itself.

So are you saying i cannot use CSV export if i am using form ??
