I am using laravel backpack to brows database entries
To add excel and pdf export functionality, i am using the $this->crud->enableExportButtons(); function inside MyCrudController.
Generating the export by user interface work great, but I would like to be able to generate an export through code, so i can attach it to a daily cronjob.
Does anyone know if its possible to hook into the export function, to save exports to memory or disk.
Unfortunately, Backpack won't help you with server-side exports, since it uses DataTables to export the data, which uses JavaScript. Using Backpack's export server-side would be very very difficult.
But you should be able to export to excel from a cron job using this package.

I have created a module using module builder. Now, I am using REST API to create the custom module records. When I create a module with rest api almost all fields are affected(rest values are assigned), except file. I do not know how to upload file to server.
I have used set_entry to create module. set_note_attachment and set_document_revsion is only for uploading and creating document and note instances. Is there are any way to uplload custom module files to server
Thanks
I am trying to create a new visualization (sheet) in a tableau online workbook via javascript API or by another language. Not by using Tableau Desktop or "manual" interaction into Tableau Online.
I know that the JS API allows me to control (filter, display, etc.) existing visualizations, and the SDK can extract data and publish, but my need is to "create" a new visualization into an existing workbook.
Is there a way to do this?
The only methods of creating Tableau content that I'm aware of is using Tableau Desktop or Web authoring of something that is already published.
I explain how to do what you're asking on the blog post linked below. You can use Python with Jinja2.
The basics ...
Create a template of your XML.
Put in the necessary Jinja2 templating language code into your template as placeholders for the data and XML that needs to be rendered by Jinja2. You can render data conditionally as well.
Create a CSV file that specifies what the Python program needs to know to create your workbooks.
Run your Python application to generate a TWB file based on your template and input file. You can also easily create TWBX by zipping the TWB and data together.
The link gives code examples and an example CSV file for specifying your input.

I need to export courses from Moodle but, but as it is a very closed
application, and the courses are in moodle format, is there any way
to extract the contents / metadata that format to facilitate the
migration to DSpace.
I know, it possible to make on the 'big-hand', but ira spend a lot of
time. For DSpace and moodle use very different and complex databases.
Moodle exports courses with a .mbz extension. Simply rename it to .zip and you can extract the XML files from inside. These files will have all the information you need. You could potentially create a tool that programmatically extracts this information and imports it to DSpace.
Also, Moodle is open source, not a closed application. Source available here: https://github.com/moodle/moodle
One of our customer's uses Netsuite ERP. We would like to be able accept pick tickets(orders) from them in a format that would allow us to import the pick tickets into our custom built ERP system. Naturally, I asked them if they could export the pick tickets as CSV to us.
They are attempting to build a custom report with all the fields we need and export it into csv. Aside from them having issues exporting the report only to HTML... Im curious as to why they cant just export the pick ticket they have been sending us, which is in pdf format.
On top of that. Ive noticed via SuitesScript you could modify the on click event to generate a csv of the data. So when they click generate print ticket, why could it not easily generate a csv at that time?
Basically, due to me not havign hands on to their NetSuite system - or any insight to the inner working of NetSuite, im looking to the community to explain to me, what they are doing wrong - or what the best solution is to attain the goal of: exporting a pick ticket(im assuming this is based from the sales order in netsuite...) in a friendly format, allowing me to automate the order entry into my company's system.
I am sure Netsuite provides CSV option for exporting Reports. Please refer to this doc.
To export a report:
On the Reports page, click the name of the report you want to see.
In the footer of the report, select Export-CSV, Export-Microsoft® Word, Export-Microsoft® Excel, or Export-PDF.
One possible problem may be the Role Permissions. Please refer to this.
If your search results pages do not include an Export button, your account administrator may not have assigned you the Full level for the Perform Search permission. This level is required for exporting search results. The Export Lists permission also is required. See Permissions for Searches.
you should be able to export pdf. Please refer to https://github.com/eliseobeltran/NSProject/blob/314c5a03c4251cd06d451527103b7b85bb63f130/GOP/Innov.GOP.GeneratePDF.js
Once you create the saved search, NetSuite has the option to export the saved search as the CSV, MS EXCEL, or PDF. But it's a manual approach. You can do it automatically by writing a JavaScript script in the Suite Script.
I'd like to be able to provide an import/export to csv feature for a specific Subscription (a subset of a Collection). However, I'm not sure at all where I should start. I assume that this has to be done server-side since they need to upload a file for the importing feature, so it probably involves a Meteor.methods function on the server which I call from the client. I'm not sure how you would return a file for download or temporarily upload one (for the import feature, I don't want to keep the file around).
Any ideas on the best way to approach this with Meteor?
I'm going to pretend this is the best way, but do check out CollectionFS, a Meteor package that implements file uploads, so a logged-in user can upload files, and file handlers, in this sense, a function or series of functions automatically run on an uploaded file.
For exports, you could pipe this through CollectionFS again, or you could use FileSaver.js to just directly serve the export file.
