Title: Print CSV skin plug-in

Note: The refined and improved plugin was released in Forum6617: CSV Export plug-in. Check it out!

This plugin provide you the CSV views which display Entry ID, Post Time, Author, Editor, Title, Entry Tags, Entry Body, and so on in the comma-separated format.

Some of our customers want to export data from TeamPage to Microsoft Office. Unfortunately, the current version of TeamPage doesn't support CSV export. This is why I developed this plugin.

Installation



Download the .zip file and install it in Server Setup | Plugins tab.

How to use



Adding the URL parameter &skin=printcsv will switch your skin. However, Proteus skin's URLs are not suitable to add the parameter. So I recommend you to enter /skin mexico into the search box to switch your skin to Mexico first.



Display the articles you want to be displayed in Print CSV Skin. For example, if you want to display all articles and comments in Print CSV skin, you should click [All Recent] link in the top of Front Page and make them be displayed in Mexico skin.

Add &skin=printcsv to the URL, and press Enter key.



The articles (and comments) will be displayed as below.



Press CTRL + A keys to select all, and click "Copy" or press CTRL + C. Now the contents gets copied into the clipboard.



Launch your text editor and execute pasting.



Save it as a .csv file.



Now you've got a .csv file from TeamPage. You can cook it as much as you like by using Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, and so on.

Open Office Sample

To change your skin back to Proteus, enter /skin default into the search box, and press Enter key.



Note



This is just an alpha version. This skin doesn't support some views which I rarely use, e.g. remcatgone.

But I welcome your feedback. Please post it here and let me know!
