Field with multiple values and headings

I have made my own address field in contour.
This field has street, streetnumber, town etc.
These fields are posted to the server sepereately since they are seperate html form fields.
And in the ProcessValue method on the field, I can return each value in the List

Hey Klaus,

You can't change this, since if it's a single field you'll also have a single column in the entries viewer

What you could do it have a custom export option, since the export is basicly an xslt performed on the records so you could control that one

You can find the default ones in the dir Umbraco\plugins\umbracoContour\xslt

So would suggest to take excel.xslt as a starting point

Thanks Will try that. Can I somehow add a button to the contour backend to export my own xslt?

Ah you can use the provider model :) and create a custom fieldexporttype check shared sourcecode for examples, pretty simple, xslt is the hard part

Yes I see that, as you say, it is very easy to create an export type. How do I make it appear in the backend so I can export using this new type?

Here is the code

public class ExportAeForm : ExportType
    {
        public ExportAeForm()
        {
            Description = "Exports all data to a csv file with addressfields expanded";
            Name = "special CSV File export";
            Id = new Guid("024a6095-75ba-4d5b-a894-de95da601a47");
            FileExtension = "csv";
        }

        public override string ExportForm(Form form)
        {
            string content = @"";
            return content;
        }
    }

Wow I just discovered how this works it did not see the tiny arrow in the left corner of the screen. The thing is working - it was just hidden up there...
