Hallo Heinz,
Glad to read you are happy with RO CSVI.
If the export would be started with a link to a hidden menu item on FrontEnd then nothing happens for the end user until the download is available.
That is correct as that is what happens now because there is no frontend page for the export. When starting an export it directly starts feeding the browser the exported data. The only indication that you have now is the progress window of your browser of how far the download is. This is how many downloads work.
You could create your own sort of download page like this:
- Create a hidden menu item for the frontend export
- Create a hidden menu item for the Joomla article
- Create a Joomla article
- In the article include the following code
The download is starting
<script>
window.location = 'https://URL_TO_THE_HIDDEN_MENU_ITEM';
</script>
- Link the menu item for the Joomla article to the Joomla article
- When the user opens the link they see your text and the download is started
Sure there is no update every x time but at least they see a message.
Kind regards,
RolandD
