Hi,

I love the DataTables module, but there are a couple things I'd like to do that I'm not sure I can do.

What we want is to be able to export a CSV of a view after filtering the result set. Currently we use the DT search field to filter results; and we're using the Views Data Export module to export CSV's. However, the filtering from the DT search field, being on the client side, doesn't impact the exported view. Anybody know of any ways to apply a DT filter to an exported CSV?

Thanks.

I personally don't use the filters, I use Views built in ones... However I've accomplished my CSV export issues by using the Views Bulk Operations module in combination with Rules. I can select the fields I need to export with VBO then trigger a rule to act on the Views Data Export view to export.

Hope this helps

Actually, I didn't do that in the end, I just used VBO to pass the nodes nids to the data export view
