In order to allow your users to use the export functionality of ARK you need to set a few settings in the mod_settings.php and settings.php files. An example is here.
You will also need to set up a couple of settings in settings.php, namely:
Settings.php
Export Directory
The export directories are set for each case in the top of the settings file, as seen (INSERT LINK TO SETTINGS). Listed below are example directories for each case
- ms4w:
// EXPORT $export_dir = $ark_dir.'data/tmp/';
- mac:
// EXPORT $export_dir = $doc_root.$ark_dir.'data/downloads/';
- linux:
// EXPORT $export_dir = $ark_dir.'data/tmp/';
Download Tools
Each tool used in the download tools toolbar in the search page (data_view) must also be set up in the settings file (INSERT LINK TO SETTINGS).
- CSV:
// DOWNLOADS
$res = "results_mode=dl";
$group_dls[] =
array(
'type' => 'text',
'href' => "overlay_holder.php?$res&dl_mode=csv&lboxreload=1&sf_conf=conf_mac_exportdownloadcsv",
'css_class' => FALSE,
'mkname' => 'csv',
'lightbox' => 'lightbox|200'
);
// EXPORTS //export file location (where ARK exports will be saved - needs to be an absolute path) $export_dir = "C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/$ark_dir/tmp"; absolute path on server to save the export file(s) $web_export_dir = "$ark_dir/tmp/"; RELATIVE path where the export files(s) are saved.
If you want to add new export types - then you will need to write handlers for both the export itself (a function called exportCSV() and then a function that handles the elements named elemCSV()). It may be better to get a Developer to do this.
