I'm trying to create unattended export with cron /drush / views data export. Everything is fine until I need to pass arguments to a view. Drush command for views data export doesn't provide an option for that, so I guess it's not implemented for now. Would be nice to have this possibility.

I would add that this is imperative for wide-spread adoption of this module. Contextual arguments are one of the cornerstones of Views, as they assist in DRY programming practices.

Issue summary: View changes

The current implementation of the drush option --arguments only works if the Data Export display is set to "Batch". Otherwise it will not use the given arguments. (See views_data_export.drush.inc)

Is there a reason for this, or could one always read the arguments option an pass it to ->execute_display regardless of the display's batch setting.

kindly,

Lennart

Status: Needs review » Closed (fixed)

As Drupal 6 nears the end of its life and support period, the 6.x version of Views Data Export will not be supported either. To that end, this issue has been closed, and will not be resolved in the 6.x branch of Views Data Export.

If this issue is still relevant to 7.x branch of Views Data Export, then please re-open and move to a relevant 7.x version.
