Export to Word

Hi Maciek, good stuff :) can you get some friend to review this as well? I'm terribly busy recently and don't use the module on any of my projects currently :(

Hello i got an error.
An AJAX HTTP error has occurred.
Received HTTP Code: 500
Debug information follows.
Path: /batch?Id=139&op=do_nojs&op=do
Status Text: 500 Service Unavailable (with message)
Response Text: An unexpected error occurred on the site. Please try again later.

Message DomainException: When a #lazy_builder callback is specified, no properties can exist; all properties must be generated by the #lazy_builder callback. You specified the following properties: #label_display. in Drupal\Core\Render\Renderer->doRender() (line 336 of D:\OpenServer\domains\tst\core\lib\Drupal\Core\Render\Renderer.php).

commented out the line, everything worked.
where is the mistake?

  protected function renderField(EntityInterface $entity, array $pre_render) {
   /** $pre_render['#label_display'] = 'hidden';*/
    return (string) $this->renderer->render($pre_render);
  }

Images are not exported
The generated document contains only relative links to images.
Also with export to xls.
Can this be configured somehow?

Patch for version 4.0.0

Looks good but noticed a few things:
vbo_export.config shouldn't be global here, an action can have preliminary configuration per view (or per display), see https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/views-bulk-operations-vbo/configur.... This'll give site builders better flexibility and will not require an extra route.

+ * @Action(
+ *   id = "vbo_export_generate_doc_action",
+ *   label = @Translation("Generate doc from selected view results"),
+ *   type = "",
+ *   pass_context = TRUE,
+ *   pass_view = TRUE,
/// Not needed, confirm_form_route_name is enough. ///
+ *   confirm = TRUE,
+ *   confirm_form_route_name = "vbo_export.word_export_confirm"
+ * )

I'd also call the parent method in ConfirmWordAction:: buildForm() and modify the output.

Noticed an issue in #8, the vbo-export-content-doc-wrapper.html.twig template was no longer being used (leading to encoding issues for special characters when opening export Word docs on Windows).

Comments in #9 still need to be addressed, though.

Added config schema definition for the new action plugin.

Comments in #9 still need to be addressed, though.

Apparently a new word_limit global vbo_export configuration property is added as well. Providing schema definition for this as well.

Comments in #9 still need to be addressed, though.

Rerolled against 4.x

Comments in #9 still need to be addressed, though.

4.x reroll attempt #2

Same review remarks apply as in #9:
Please implement one or both of buildConfigurationForm, buildPreConfigurationForm in your the class instead of creating global config and adding those 2 form classes separately.

My attempt to fix rendering nested groups

I skipped comments in #9 for now.

Fixed labels not showing in nested groups.

Fixed deprecation notice: Deprecated function: Creation of dynamic property Drupal\\vbo_export\\Plugin\\Action\\VboExportDoc::$renderer is deprecated in Drupal\\vbo_export\\Plugin\\Action\\VboExportDoc->__construct().

Hi there,

Prepared a new MR with a plugin to export data as a doc file. For exporting data, it uses phpoffice/phpword package.

Please, check if it works for you.

p.s. I didn't update the requirements hook because the package doesn't have a changelog file from the 1.2.0 version. And there is no sense to use 1.1.0 version because it uses the deprecated utf8_encode() function.
thanks in advance

fixed in a new 4.2.x branch
thanks
