django-dataexporter is a extensible helper to export Django QuerySets and other data to CSV and Excel.

Features

• Exporter class to generate CSV and Excel files out of QuerySets and other iterables.
• Factory to generate Django ModelAdmin actions to trigger an export out of Django's famous admin interface.

django-dataexporter's Issues

Outdated docu

Docu needs update (https://github.com/moccu/django-dataexporter/blob/master/docs/usage.rst).

from django_dataexporter import action_export_factory
should be
from django_dataexporter.admin import export_action_factory

When using exporter more than once only last action is visible

When using exporter more than once in the same admin only last action is added - e.g.

 actions = [
        export_csv_action_factory(
            fields=export_fields, header='CSV', label='Export surveys as CSV'),
        export_excel_action_factory(
            fields=export_fields, header='XLSX', label='Export surveys as XLSX'),
        'make_published', 'make_unpublished',
    ]

Reason is the way how get_actions work:

self.get_actions(request)
OrderedDict([('delete_selected', (<function delete_selected at 0x105a068c8>, 'delete_selected', 'Ausgewählte %(verbose_name_plural)s löschen')), ('export_view', (<function export_action_factory.<locals>.export_view at 0x107a940d0>, 'export_view', 'Export surveys as XLSX')), ('make_published', (<function ArticleAdmin.make_published at 0x107a941e0>, 'make_published', 'Ausgewählte Artikel als veröffentlicht markieren')), ('make_unpublished', (<function ArticleAdmin.make_unpublished at 0x107a94268>, 'make_unpublished', 'Ausgewählte Artikel als nicht veröffentlicht markieren'))])

The export function is always called export_view.
