Backup individual database records

Hi,

I'm currently using Chronoforms V5 which is absolutely fantastic.

I have a question about when looking at a connected database. Is a way to backup selected database records as a CSV rather than all of them? I've tried looking into the php and editing parts but just mostly got bamboozled (and broke things!), so if this is possible it would be really great to know. 🙂

Many thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

I have a custom CSV Export [GH] action in beta that will let you do that. I'll send you a link in a PM.

Hi Bob,

Many thanks for getting back to me so quick and sending the file - great help!

I have tried the file, however I am trying to get the backend 'Backup Records' button to have a different effect rather than an action on the front.. I'm not sure if I'm missing something with the file you sent over?

I've attached a screen print of what I'm looking to achieve.

Does the action work to do something like this?

Many thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Sorry, it has no effect on the Backend Data Display/Export. I don't know how you would do that if the checkbox selection doesn't work :-(

Hi Bob,

Ahh ok no problem, thanks for your help though and sending over the action. Much appreciated 😀

Thanks,
Richard
