Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When I create a view to act as a field, it works wonderfully on the page, but in the preview of the export feed, the only thing that shows is the view's admin hover links (edit/clone/export) then it cuts the actual view off and does not include the view's contents in the exported file. Cross-posting in Views Bonus as I'm not sure which is causing it, but I have a feeling it's the export where it's stripping things out.

damiankloip commentedI haven't really used views export before, but I would guess that it's something to do with the fact that views field view doesn't actual render/process the view until the render stage of the field handler. I'm not sure there is a way around this.

scotwith1tcaching? use pre_render instead? not sure either...might be willing to put a small bounty on fixing this one though as it's critical to a project...unless you can think of a workaround for me...basically, the export is a user table, using content_profile, node reference to another node type of 'children' to grab a list of that user's kids. need to be able to pull the kids in (as a views_field_view, working great on the page) and get it to export with the parents...just as a cell of the row for that user. if you think of something, a workaround, or want to take me up on a bounty to fix, please let me know asap! Thanks for an awesome module.

damiankloip commentedI am also guessing you have the same trouble with http://drupal.org/project/views_data_export ?
Comment #4
damiankloip commentedI think this has to be a wont fix. The way this module works with rendering child views means it will currently be pretty difficult to accomplish.

scotwith1tThanks damiankloip. I totally understand. And for the record, I did try views_data_export and have the same issue with it. I also tried some views caching modules and none worked.
