Automated data export

description

As I proposed on the forum (http://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/430573) I'd like to get automated data export working via http. My module is depending on the Import/Export module, and it needs some changes to get this to work.

This should be done as a module on the gallery. There is no need for it as a core feature right now.

Congratulations on your first contribution!

Agree sebastien, the functionality should be a module. But it would be nice if the module could depend on the importexport module instead of having to copy 90% of the logic that's inside....
Please reconsider these minor changes!

Can you exactly explain what needs to be changed in the module so you can reuse it ? What is blocking you right now ?

I propose two changes to the Import/Export module. First of all it would be nice to be able to retrieve the XmlDocument itself instead of writing it to file. The interface would look like this:

public interface IImportExportService : IDependency {
void Import(string recipeText);
string Export(IEnumerable<string> contentTypes, ExportOptions exportOptions);
XDocument ExportXml(IEnumerable<string> contentTypes, ExportOptions exportOptions);
}

Secondly there are hardcoded references to the currently logged in user. I don't need this, the url is publicly available. Could the references to a user be changed to:

_orchardServices.WorkContext.CurrentUser != null ? _orchardServices.WorkContext.CurrentUser.UserName : "Anonymous"

Thanks!
