Smart Export PRO

Introduction

Installation

Create new Export

To create a new export, Go to backend Smart Export settings. Click on “Create new Export” Button.

In process of create new export, You need to select channel you want to export.

After selecting channel, Full settings stack will show.

Select which default and custom fields you want to export and fill general settings.

General Settings are described as below:

1. 1. Export Name:Name of your current export settings. This field is just a label of your export.
   2. Access export URL without Login ?:In case if you want to export this settings outside of EE without any login, Mark this as “Yes”
   3. Export Type: Mark this Export as “Private” will not allow any other guest or site user to download this Export. You and only you will allow to download this export. In other case, If you mark this Export as “Public”, Anyone can access and able to download this export.
   4. Export Procedure: There is 2 procedure to export channel data with Smart Export.
      1. Normal:Click and download export on single click. In this method, no AJAX will fire. If you have plenty of entries to export and your server memory_limit and max_input_vars is low in compare of total entries to export in single shot, It will give you memory_limit error or 500 internal server error. This method is recommended if you have low number of entries to export.
      2. AJAX:Loop base AJAX export. This method will calculate total number of entries and divide ajax calls by Batches you have entered in settings. Default batches is 50. So, Suppose you have 10,000 entries to export and you chose AJAX export with batches of 100 entries per ajax call. It will throw 100 calls of AJAX on your download button (one by one). After complete all the ajax calls, It will give you URL to download generated file. This method is highly recommended if you have plenty of entries to export in single file. No matter you have hundreds or thousands of entries, With this method, its too easy to generate an export file.
   5. At last, you have to select the format in which you want the exported data. We have 2 type of export formats. (CSV and XML).

Export List

Once you create an export settings, It will show under Smart export list. Where you can edit or delete export setting. Download export or copy the frontend URL to download export outside of EE.

When you click on URL icon, It will give you URL to download export from out side of EE in a POPUP. You can copy and run it in browser.

Note: If you pass extra _GET parameter in URL (type=ajax), It will download export with AJAX procedure.
