Hi, The problem is I want to create a dynamic web page and to build a dynamic excel file based on the same data used for screen output.
I haven't decided yet on: a) if the file is built only after a user presses a button in the rendered page and the request activates another view function; b) or the file is built automatically at the same time the web page is rendered. For b), I've thought of creating a function inside the rendering function of the view to generate the file, so that I'd have two returns of functions: one for the web page, another for the file. Can you give me some thoughts on how to do this, both for a) and b)? In an experimental attempt, I created all the code to build the file in a different function at the view file, and used the variable from the get_list query as global. It worked as in a), but sometimes the file generated had data from other request not the user's. The best approach seems to be to build the file generator as a class in the model file, which I've already done, but the problem described in a) and b) remains. If in a), data for the file has to be the same as rendered to the screen, even if the user takes some minutes to press the button. I'd appreciate some insights on this problem.
