I could after several months not advance further than the "animals" example in the manual in using csv for downloads. Several questions and help from members on this list did not help me to achieve a single csv download in the following scenario:
* user uses a form to define a selection * result of selection showed on screen with button to download as csv. It should be simple and is simple in the "animals" example where there are one controller and one (csv) view directly related to each other. In all the examples and documentation I have seen where forms are used, redirection to other functions where the variables of the form get handled come into play and that is where my problem starts. I don' t know how to get the result of the secondary function to the cStringIO.StringIO()-stream. I do not have problem doing the csv-thing in the shell but as soon as this jumping from " form-function -> form-view -> back to secondary function with secondary view" comes into play, I lost the plot with csv. If I do not get help within the next day this is a showstopper for me. Please help me.
