and I need to export it as is but it is exporting as "sometext" without html around. How can I export the thole content? Or the only option is straight export from db?
I think I didn't quite understand. Please tell me what you mean when you say "export"? If you want it to display the link in the cell, you can do it this way:
Yeah, I'm afraid what you're trying to achieve is impossible with the plugin's built in features.
Actually it's a limitation of those Export Tools. You see, Table Tools consists of a block of buttons that provides additional features for the tables: export to PDF, export to CSV, export to Excel, print view, toggle for column visibility for front-end users, etc. These functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library.
Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed. One of the "issues" here is that it is exporting exactly what it sees on the page. You would have to make the URL display in its full to be able to export it like this.
You're not the only one with this issue, and unfortunately it's not up to us to fix it, but until the library updates, there's only so much we can do.
My advice would be to take a look at the Report Builder which creates reports and exports files normally to Excel and Word. It is a paid add-on, so if you are considering it please go through the documentation to see its features and limitations, and of course don't hesitate to ask us anything about it.
Hi, I have a column with html content inside.
Example:
<a class="someclass" href="http://somelink">sometext</a>
and I need to export it as is but it is exporting as "sometext" without html around.
How can I export the thole content?
Or the only option is straight export from db?
Hey Kostya.
I think I didn't quite understand. Please tell me what you mean when you say "export"? If you want it to display the link in the cell, you can do it this way:
And it will display it like that.
Otherwise - please explain what it is you meant.
Best regards.
