Is possible send data from list to .doc or .html file?

[blue-mouse]

Hi,

I try new issue with Joomla 3.0 and fabrik 3.1
I need send data from list1 for choosen records to editable file like .doc or at least .html.
Is possible to create any own/user template that sends some fields for choosen records to editable file?
I need just editable file not option export data to something and then import it to Microsoft Word.

There is a list.word.php view, which simply renders the list normally, but gives it a Content-type of application/vnd.ms-word, and sets the disposition to download.

As the comment in the view says:

* MS Word/Open office .doc Fabrik List view class\
* Very rough go at implementing .doc rendering based on the fact that they can read HTML

So it doesn't do any actual Word conversion, just generates HTML.

I haven't tried this for a while, just tested and found a few tweaks were needed to get it going:

It'd probably be best to create your own template for it, although (after that github update) it will render with the standard bootstrap template.

So ... update to latest github, the just append &format=word (or ?format=word if it's the first query string arg) to your usual list URL.

What is the standard way to get .doc printout? I try to use "Print to pdf" and next i change in browser line - code , like in this example:
http://cc-2.katowice.pl/index.php/i...mawiajacych/list/21?format=pdf&resetfilters=0
i change it manually to:
http://cc-2.katowice.pl/index.php/i...ien/rejestr-zamawiajacych/list/21?format=word
Is better way to get .doc?

You would probably need to use a custom template, and add your own link in default_buttons.php.
