Hi!
I have a reservation form. When the form is filled out, the data is saved in a database table. This works OK.
As a next step I want to save a CSV with all data from the table in a directory on the server.
I got the file to save, but is still empty. I think I need to have a different Data Provider for the CSV action.
How do I get the data that is read by Read Data action in the CSV file? What do I specify as the Data Provider?
There is currently no XLS save function? Only CSV?
Kind regards,
Jip
The Read Data action name="read_data_12". Model name "Data12". The debuggers sows an array with all the data....
In the CSV action I tried as Data Provider:
{data:read_data12}
{data:Model12}
Or just plain 'Model12' and 'read_data12'
This did not work. I got an empty CSV...
Now I tried {var:read_data12}
This showed me all records in the Excel, but every line says 'Array' insstead of showing the actual data of the records... The first line says 'Data12' (column title I guess)
I probably need somthing like {var:read_data12.data}? But this also does not put any data in the CSV file... Any suggestions?
This is the data from the debugger:
In need read_data12 in the CSV.

Hi Jip,
The CSV action data provider requires a specific data structure which can be achieved using {var:read_data12.[n].Data12}

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?
Hi Max, yes this works! I knew there had to be a way. Never would have thought of the [n] ;-) Have missed that in the forum / documentation somewhere? Anyway, it works for me now. Thanks!
I also changed the delimiter to ; so I could open the file in Excel with the fields separated in columns. The comma delimiter opened the records in one column.
Kind regards, Jip
Hi Jip,

I think its mentioned in a few forum posts only, its not common to use this syntax, but its required for the CSV action, and maybe needed in special cases.
