Similar to Order in the fields.ini file. Is there a way to change the order of fields for the csv export, as well as setting fields to show/hide in csv export.

I need to show and hide fields, and order fields based on values in the users table for whoever is logged in.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Currently there isn’t very much flexibility here. The next version will add a lot more, including a visibility:csv parameter in the fields.ini file, and respect for the ordering defined in the fields.ini file.

I’ll see about posting an updated version of actions/export_csv.php for you so that you can have some of these features earlier than the release, but I’ll need to find some time first…. bug me in a week if I haven’t posted it yet.

Hi, Steve

I found there is no headings exported when no relationship exists in the query in the handle function (comparing line70-74 with line 89-93) in the actions/export_csv.php. Is this a bug or just for some reason?

This may have been for some reason way back… but for the sake of consistency and the most desireable behavior I would classify this as a bug now. I have fixed this problem in SVN (rev. 1694). You can download the latest at http://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/core/tru … rt_csv.php
