ExportZen: Feedback Forum > Export trouble

hello,

as posted in the other forum, I need to allow export of list data that is filtered using FilterZen. Since this seems only possible when also using ExportZen I started evaluation. I run into three issues:

1. with one action definition created and linked to a certain list via it's ListTitle I get Two Menu entries "Export ..." in the Action menu of my list.

2. the export file contains a header row. But the header field names do not get split into columns like the rest of the data

3. the action definition is set to
"Export Current View" "Yes" and "Respect Currently Applied Filters (FilterZen only)" "Yes"
Unfortunately I get no results, only the headers are in the exported CSV

I could live with 1 and 2 but error 3 makes both, the FilterZen and ExportZen useless for our needs.

Any idea how to get this to work?

thank you
Jens

Hi Jens,

1. are you saying you would like to hide the out-of-box "Export to Spreadsheet" option when one or more ExportZen export actions are also present in the Actions menu? I suppose we could add this behaviour, just double-checking if that's what you need?

2. + 3. can you email me details that will help us reproduce your issue? A screenshot of your export action definition settings, a screenshot of the List Settings page of the data list and a screenshot of the View Settings page of the current view to be exported would be a great start.

With the new build 1.5.0.1, issues 2 and 3 should be fixed and issue 1 has been implemented as the new Hide (2007) or disable (2010) the out-of-box 'Export to Excel' command configuration setting.
