How to Add New Export Group and Type?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you want to control how form submissions are exported to print or download for reporting
purpose, you can add a new export group and a new export type as shown in this tutorial.
1. Click "Module" in the menu and select "Export Manager". You should see a list of export groups.
2. Click "Add Export Group" and name it as "My Export". You should see the export group definition page.
3. Select "Display in popup": Height 600px, Width 800px.
4. Select "HTML" as content type.
5. Enter "{$export_type_smarty_template}" as Smarty Template. This tells Form Tools to display the export type directly, since there is only 1 export type in this group.
6. On the "Export Types" tab, click "Add Export Type".
7. Enter the following smarty template:
<head>
<title>{$export_group_name}</title>
{literal}
<style type="text/css">
...
</style>
{/literal}
</head>
<body>
<h1>{$form_name} - {$view_name}</h1>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="print_table">
<tr>
{foreach from=$display_fields item=column}
<th class="{$column.field_name}">{$column.field_title}</th>
{/foreach}
</tr>
{strip}
{foreach from=$submissions item=submission}
{assign var=submission_id value=$submission.submission_id}
<tr>
{foreach from=$display_fields item=field_info}
{assign var=col_name value=$field_info.col_name}
{assign var=value value=$submission.$col_name}
<td>
{smart_display_field form_id=$form_id view_id=$view_id
submission_id=$submission_id
field_info=$field_info field_types=$field_types
settings=$settings value=$value}
</td>
{/foreach}
</tr>
{/foreach}
{/strip}
</table>
</body>
</html>
