Export - Formatter .CSV - features

Done and updated.

pepperstreet Limit field output

include or exclude fields. So, one can focus on particular and the most important fields. i.e. exclude secondary infos, internals and statistics like hits, catIDs, access etc.

Is this done with show in intro or can be done some other way?

What about article? Can article be formated as csv?

klox7 What about article? Can article be formated as csv?

no. There is no CSV view for article. I could add it but so far I had no sense in it.

Sergey no. There is no CSV view for article. I could add it but so far I had no sense in it.

I was asking because in plugin there are parameters for list and full template.

So the best way is to set intro fields to show but hide unnecessary fields in list template.

It is there so that if someone sees how he can use it, he can change template and create CSV for article view.

Formatter should work in full view, too.
e.g. single Event (iCalendar .ics formatter), single Classified, single Profile/Contact Person (maybe vCard .vcf)

BTW, what about export links/buttons in all default templates?
Maybe toggle the output with template parameter (ACL selectbox)

Further ideas and feature requests

• Do not open in browser window
  Force a "download" or "save file as..."? Currently, the formatted content is displayed in the browser window. Confusing for some DAU's. As far as I know, other form-builder extensions like "Fabrik" or "BreezingForms" send the file to the browser download window. I think the most wanted behavior for a CSV file.

Any news on this? Cobalt v9?

I agree. But not CSV. Other formatters like you've mentioned yes.

Why not? I see no reason to restrict the export in any context.

BTW, what about an vCard formatter (.vcf)? Might be useful for profiles/contacts etc. Might need some sort of field mapping then.

Or better suitable for Adress field?

this one and iCal are both cool formatters.
