This product provides tools to provide excel exports to Plone users.
A framework, with default utilities to export the dexterity contents of a folder, the results of a catalog search, and the results of a eea faceted navigation search. Many field types are managed (text, list, file, boolean, datagrid...).
Try @@collective.excelexport view on any folder containing dexterity elements. Try @@collective.excelexport?export.policy=excelexport.search&review_state=published on site root.
If you want to implement a new way to get content to export, you can register a #datasource#, wich is an adapter for collective.excelexport.interfaces.IDataSource interface.
This adapter can be a named one.
You will call this datasource calling the view @@collective.excelexport?excelexport.policy=datasourcename
See the IDataSource interface for more information
If you want to define new columns for your excel export, you will write or override:
- Exportable factories, adapters for IExportableFactory interface that provides a list of Exportables - Exportables, that define columns.
You have a complete set of exportables for dexterity fields. Those are multi-adapters of field, context and request.
You can override them declaring a more specific adapter.
You can also declare a named adapter with the field name if you want a specific rendering for one field.
- If you don't feel good with default styles, you can register a specific one for: ::
- the export policy
- the context
- the layer
You just have to register a new IStyle adapter, in a zcml:
<adapter for="zope.interface.Interface .interfaces.IThemeSpecific" factory=".excelstyles.MyNeutralStyle" provides="collective.excelexport.interfaces.IStyles" />
If you do not specify the name, the styles will be registered for all policies.
and in python:
class MyNeutralStyle(Styles): content = xlwt.easyxf('font: height 200, name Arial, colour_index black, bold off; ' 'align: wrap off, vert centre, horiz left;' 'borders: top thin, bottom thin, left thin, right thin;' 'pattern: pattern solid, back_colour white, fore_colour white' ) headers = xlwt.easyxf('font: height 200, name Arial, colour_index black, bold on; ' 'align: wrap off, vert centre, horiz left; ' 'borders: top thin, bottom thin, left thin, right thin; ' 'pattern: pattern solid, back_colour white, fore_colour white; ' )
This add-on is tested using Travis CI. The current status of the add-on is :
