Hello,

i have listed some datas in the backoffice, and i want to make an export csv ou xls of these datas... i have created a new template with this code :

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/vnd.ms-excel">
</head>
</html>
{def $pages = fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash( 'parent_node_id', '147', 'sort_by', array( 'modified', false() ) ) )}
{foreach $pages as $item}
	{$item.name};{$item.object.modified|l10n( shortdatetime )}\n
{/foreach}

but it doesn't work...
is it possible to make this ? can i modify the header in a template ?

thanks a lot for your help

Hi!

I recommend you stick to something similar to the pagelayout used for the printed version of the page that comes with ez "print_pagelayout.tpl".

I am working in a similar problem exporting (saving somehow) the content of the information of the basket to an excel format, the only problem is that I have to have images, but images are not constrain into a cell (everybody seems to say the same), so it's getting a little difficult to solve this issue.

i call my page like this : "http://mysite.com/site_admin/layout/set/excel/" and the page is "excel_pagelayout.tpl"

but the problem is the header...
in php i can specify the header like this : 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/vnd.ms-excel">

but in the template, i can't do that...

Hi,

I can see this in the layout.ini : 

# Consists of groups which are the layout name
# A layout group can have the followin variables
# - PageLayout  - Uses a different pagelayout for this page
# - ContentType - Sets 'Content-Type' for layout module output
#                 example: ContentType=text/xml

So, you shoud try this :

[excel]
PageLayout=excel_pagelayout.tpl
ContentType=application/vnd.ms-excel

Did you try this ?

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/vnd.ms-excel">

Which url do you use to call your page ?

I don't know what 'ou' means, but I've successfully used this library:
http://www.phpexcel.net (PHPExcel)
This is much better than just trying to force headers...
Good luck,
Piotrek
