CSV Export Error

Good Afternoon,

I created a form to export specified fields from a table. The export works if I do not included any Columns in the 'Include columns' field, but as soon as I enter even a single field name, the export presents the attached error.

The sql command I am attempting to build via the export is:

SELECT site_name, region, registration_year, sc_name, sc_email
FROM `jml_chronoforms_data_SiteRegistration`
ORDER BY region, site_name

At one point, this was working, but since it is only used once a year by the client I cannot say at what point in the last year it quit working.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi fgingras,

It's possible that something has changed as a result of a Joomla! upgrade - though I'm not aware of anything that would affect this.

Peering at the image you posted it looks as if the SELECT list is empty. If you specify a column list then please make sure that there are only commas and no spaces between the entries: site_name,region,registration_year,sc_name,sc_email (and the same with the order by list).

You could use a Custom Code action to add the query and load the results into the $form->data array for exporting . . .

But, frankly, if it's only used once a year I'd probably dump it from PHPMyAdmin or something similar.

Thanks for the response. I also noticed that the SELECT list was empty, which is what prompted me to try removing each column one at a time until it ran, albeit with an empty list. I did make sure the list had no spaces, but I will try it again. Most likely, I will just use the Custom Code option.

Thank again!
