Exporting from a Proximity Search
February 27, 2011, 10:20:25 pm
When exporting from a proximity search, the process skips the field selection stage and goes straight to exporting a table, with simple record types (name, address, etc). Is there something I need to add to a custom search (like Proximity) to allow the Export functionality to be a little more full featured?

The custom search code does not allow "selecting fields" to export (it makes the code a lot more complicated)

Fair enough. Where would I muck with the code to customize my export function and choose which fields I want to come out in the default extract?

all custom searches use the default export list

CRM/Contact/BAO/Query.php, function defaultReturnProperties

u'll need to modify and extend that

Hm, that function lists about 20 columns, including the ones I'm interested in, but all I get from an export are sort_name, street_address, city, postal_code, state_province and country. Is there something else in play?

oops, my mistake

The custom search decides what columns it will export, so u'll need to fix the code here:

CRM/Contact/Form/Search/Custom/Proximity.php

Bingo, thanks so much, that was the pointer I needed. Usable hack in place! :)
