Hello,

I want to add a new action button besides the print button. It should allow downloading the contents of the form as a CSV file. I read the following post for exporting form as CSV file:

viewtopic.php?t=10071

I used following code to display the action button:

Code: Select all

if(nuFormType() == 'browse'){
    nuAddActionButton('DownloadCSV', 
                      '', 
                      'nuSetProperty("browse_sql",nuCurrentProperties().browse_sql); nuRunPHP("DownloadCSV")',      
                      'Download to Excel',
                      'fa-fw fa fa-file-excel fa-lg'); 
}

How do I get the form data exported to CSV file and then start the download ?

Thanks,
Nadir

Hi,

Do you want to download just the current record as CSV or a Browse Form?

In any case, you will need to create a Procedure that selects the fields and downloads the data.

See Code-Library

Hi,

I want to download the browse form. Can you provide sample code for exporting the browse form to csv and starting the download

Sample code can be found in the Code Library, see link above

I followed the instructions in the Code Library document. The CSV download button works fine. Thanks.
