django-admin-export

Generic export to XLSX/HTML/CSV action for the Django admin interface.

Meant for fast and simple exports and lets you choose the data to export.

django-admin-export is built with django-report-utils. For a a full query builder try using django-report-builder.

This project assumes staff users are trusted. There may be ways for users to manipulate this project to get more data access than they should have.

django-admin-export's Issues

"ImportError: No module named openpyxl.workbook"

The above error occurs if you attempt to use django-admin-export as described in the README.

Technically, this is because django-report-utils doesn't have openpyxl as a dependency. However, since that project doesn't even have a README (which I interpet as "not a public project"), I'm adding an issue here.

Python 3 Support

Hi,

I got this error when I tried to export all rows (not fields)

Is this compatible with python3.4

python3/3.4.1/lib/python3.4/site-packages/admin_export/views.py in get_context_data
26: return dict(context.items() + field_data.items())

T.

Python3.5: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'dict_items' and 'dict_items

This is what I get using django 1.9 and Python 3.5.

Any idea?

Does django-admin-export take permissions into account?

Given a cursory read of the source, I didn't find anything that would prevent one from exporting all the data in the world if they are staff just by navigating to /admin_export/export_to_xls_related/....

I'd like to be proven wrong though :)

Suggestion regarding maintenance

Hi there,

I think group-based maintenance is a good idea as it's a hell of a lot easier to get people to contribute without the need for them accepting full responsibility for all eternity ;-)

It also makes transferring ownership much simpler and gives the project a 'forever' url.

I suggest we create a group specifically for this - so the project has the url: https://github.com/django-admin-export/django-admin-export

At that point you can ask people to become co-maintainers and see who steps up. I'm happy to play a part - time permitting.

Where do I select the fields?

Hi,

This looks very interesting but it is not working for me.

"Go to any admin page, select fields, then select the export to xls action. Then check off any fields you want to export."

Where do I do this? It would be nice if you can include screenshot examples.
