Hi, I'm very eager to test out the CSV export in drupal 6 /views 2, but I have looked and looked and I can't figure out how (where in the UI) to configure this. Can you provide a basic pointer in the right direction?

1. Add a new "Feed" display to your view.
2. Change its style to "CSV file"
3. Configure the options (such as name, quote, etc.) by clicking the gear icon next to the style.
4. Give it a path (such as path/to/view/csv)

Hope that helps.

If you haven't used the module before it's not particularly obvious how to get the export to work. I finally figured out how after reading down to comment #58 in #237196: Drupal 6 version of Views Bonus Pack?.

I took webchick's comment above and turned it into a README.txt. Any chance of adding this to the module?

The one thing that is still unclear is whether or not there is a mechanism to display the link to export the view contents as a file.

I am trying to expose a link on a view that exports the data to CSV. I would like to capture the exposed filter values on the page and pass them to the CSV view via arguments. Is that possible?

Wow, this was completely impossible to figure out without documentation. Really frustrating and time wasting. Please add the README.txt, at a minimum.
