Creating a Page Export Function

Need to create an 'export' function for a page? Do it quickly and cleanly with HTTP::sendFileToBrowser. In your page controller, add a new action 'export':

Now you just need to create Page_Export.ss, and direct the user to the URL "/export/". Your page will be returned to the browser as an attachment to download.

  • I tried implementing this snippet but perhaps I am missing something, when I type in /export/ from the page I'd like to export, I get a 404 page (if after domain) or a "forbidden" message if /export/ is appended to the page URL... Any ideas on how to fix this?
