log export csv in new tab instead of download
-
Hi there,
I’m trying to download a CSV of my log entries in the admin area and via the Export button. Instead of a file download the .csv opens in a new tab. When I try to save it, it saves it as an html file.
I tested this on Chrome v98 and Firefox v95.I saw in your source code that the csv is handled with javascript and with a bit of research I saw that using the download attribute could be a way of resolving this?:

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for the quick response and for sorting this!
This works great – the only small issue is that the file is being downloaded with a .html extension. I’m guessing it’s because the Content-Type header of the file isn’t set to text/csv. I saw you’re using the wp_send_json function that sets the headers to application/json so not sure how you could go about this.
A workaround that I tested and seems to work ok on chrome is setting the a.download attribute’s value to log.csv. Apparently though you’re not supposed to put extensions to the value https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_download.asp ??
Hope this helps,
ThanosHi Thanos,
thanks again! I just changed that and uploaded an update. Maybe this will help you a bit. I had not put a name because MDN says it is not necessary. But if it works better that way, all the better.
Stay healthy and have a good time!
Greetings Kevin
