There's a few things to put together -
urls.py needs something like (add a line before the normal admin
line):
(r'^admin/your_report/csv/$',
'yourproject.admin_views.report.csv_report'),
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
Then in your admin_views/report.py (or whatever you want to call it)
import csv
@staff_member_required
def csv_report(request):
# stuff here
# Create the HttpResponse object with the appropriate CSV header.
response = HttpResponse(mimetype='text/csv')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;
filename=yournamehere.csv'
writer = csv.writer(response)
writer.writerow(['rowheader',
'rowheader','rowheader','rowheader',])
for obj in obj_list:
writer.writerow([stuff,stuff,stuff,stuff])
return response
There are more details within the DjangoBook but that should get you
looking in the right direction.
