Export can be enabled by using the NF_EXPORT flag. This presents the user with a link to export their data to, for example, a CSV file which can then be used in Excel.

Hooks

The export action handler supports the following Hooks:

getExportAttributes

Default the export shows all attributes to export (except for the atkDummyAttribute, atkTabbedPaneAttribute and attributes that contain the word 'image'). You can override this function in your own node like this:

public function getExportAttributes($handler)
{
    $attribs = $handler->getExportAttributes();
    unset($attribs['visits']);
    return $attribs;
}

getExportAttributeGroup

Default every tab will become a group of attributes in the export screen, you can also define those groups yourself by creating an override like this:

public function getExportAttributeGroup($attributename)
{
    if (in_array($attributename, array("address", "address2", "zipcode", "city", "state", "country"))) return "organization_visitaddress";
    if (strpos($attributename, "mail_") === 0) return "organization_mailaddress";
    if (strpos($attributename, "invoice_") === 0) return "organization_invoiceaddress";
}
