- Views Data Export
- =================
- Introduction
- ------------
- This module is designed to provide a way to export large amounts of data from
- views. It provides a display plugin that can rendered progressively in a batch.
- Style plugins are include that support exporting in the following types:
- * CSV
- * Microsoft XLS
- * Microsoft Doc
- * Basic txt
- * Simple xml.
- Using the "Views Data Export" module
- ------------------------------------
- 1. Add a new "Data export" display to your view.
- 2. Change its "Style" to the desired export type. e.g. "CSV file".
- 3. Configure the options (such as name, quote, etc.). You can go back and do
- this at any time by clicking the gear icon next to the style plugin you just
- selected.
- 4. Give it a path in the Feed settings such as "path/to/view/csv".
- 5. Optionally, you can choose to attach this to another of your displays by
- updating the "Attach to:" option in feed settings.
- Advanced usage
- --------------
- This module also exposes a drush command that can execute the view and save its
- results to a file.
- drush views-data-export [view-name] [display-id] [output-file]
- History
- -------
- This module has its roots in the export module that was part of the views bonus
- pack (http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus). However, massive changes were
- needed to make the batch export functionality work, and so this fork was
- created. See: http://drupal.org/node/805960
