TYPO3 Powermail: How do I add my custom fields to the export?

Question

Powermail: 2.25.2
TYPO3: 6.2.19

I added a dynamic custom field to Powermail within a new extension and want to have the value included in the csv export . If I use the Powermail Module and expand the export block, there is a possibility to add additional fields to the export. Unfortunately, my custom field is not listed there.

What can I do?

Answer 1

From checking the template Resources/Private/Partials/Module/Export.html I had the idea, to add it to the template, but wasn't sure which ID.

After some debugging through the extension I realized, that my custom field can easy be added to the ul.extended_export_field by the mentioned template, because it was already in the {page.fields} array. The condition for {field.advancedFieldType} prevented rendering the custom field, because it's type isn't in the advanced and basic fields.

You have therefore 2 solutions to fix that:

1. change Classes/Domain/Model/Field.php within your extension
   and extend the $advancedFieldTypes or $basicFieldTypes array

2. change the template Resources/Private/Partials/Module/Export.html
   by adding a condition for your custom field type and render it into the list like <li id="{field.uid}">{field.title} <span class="info">(<f:translate key="FormField" />)</span></li>

What I still not know is how to manipulate the output within the export.

Update:

Output can be modified within
Resources/Private/Templates/Module/ExportCsv.html

In at least powermail 4.4.0 you can configure the exportability of custom fields with TypoScript:

tx_powermail.flexForm.type.addFieldOptions.myfield.export = 1

This is described in the manual https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/powermail/ForDevelopers/AddNewFields/Index.html
