Based on previous code, the companies query/function would look something like...
def csv_companies(): # assumes there is a table called 'company' with field 'name' query = db.company.id > 0 companies = db(query).select(db.company.id, db.company.name, # ... # the list of 'company' fields you want in your query # you can join other tables and include fields from them here as well # ... ) return dict(companies=companies) The view (csv_companies.html) would be something like... {{ import cStringIO stream = cStringIO.StringIO() companies.export_to_csv_file(stream) response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/vnd.ms-excel' response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % your_file_name response.write(stream.getvalue(), escape=False) }} Note it doesn't have {{extend 'layout.html'}} as it pushes the output to a user dialogue asking if they want to open/save it somewhere on their machine. (You may want to do something different like simply write it to a directory or create a db entry referencing it...) -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
