hi Thomas,
In the meanwhile, I solved the problem:
template '/' => sub
{
my $req_action =
Jifty->web->request->action('search');
if( defined($req_action) and
$req_action->argument('as_excel') )
{
show('/search_to_xls');
}
else
{
page {
h1 { 'The App' };
render_region(
name => 'search_devices',
path => '/fragments/search_devices',
);
}
}
};
template 'fragments/search_devices' => sub
{
..... skipped ....
if( $count > 0 )
{
form {
render_hidden( $search_action, 'ipaddr');
render_hidden( $search_action, 'macaddr');
render_hidden( $search_action, 'contains');
render_hidden( $search_action, 'as_excel', 1);
form_submit( action => $search_action,
label => 'Export to excel file',
as_link => 1,
as_button => 0,
region => '/' );
};
}
};
template '/search_to_xls' => sub
{
my $search_result = Jifty->web->response->result('search');
my $devices = $search_result->content('search');
$devices->order_by( {column => 'ipaddr', order => 'ASC'} );
Jifty->web->response->content_type("application/vnd.ms-excel");
my $xls;
my $fh = new IO::Scalar(\$xls);
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($fh);
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet('IPACD_Search');
..... and so on ....
