Adding extra export function

I have a heavily modified csv export function that I'd like to use some of the time. In my ideal world, I would create another button on the registrants management page that links to my alternate function. Any guidance as to how to go about setting this up?

Hi Kathy

You need to have Joomla programming skill to do that :

1. Edit the file administrator/components/com_eventbooking/view/registrants/tmpl/default.php to add the button

2. Edit the file administrator/components/com_eventbooking/controller/controller.php, add a new method to handle your custom export. I think you should copy the original csv_export method, then rename it and customize it to meet your need

Please try that and let me know the result

The button doesn't seem to come from the registrants file. It starts with the table itself.

Hi Kathy

I don't understand your last post. Could you please explain more details about the difficulty you are having ?

Tuan,
I just mean that administrator/components/com_eventbooking/view/registrants/tmpl/default.php was not the location to edit to add the button.

For anyone else looking to do something similar, the file that I ended up editing was administrator/components/com_eventbooking/view/registrants/html.php, in the function addToolbar().

I did edit administrator/components/com_eventbooking/controller/controller.php as Tuan suggested above. However, most of my modifications were done in components/com_evenbooking/helper/data.php, in the function csvExport. The controller file gets the data from the database, but the csv is created/written in the helper file.
