Configure export directory

Created on 18 February 2022, over 3 years ago

Problem/Motivation

By default, the exported file is saved within the public:// or private:// files directory with a path generated with /views_data_export/$view_dir/$user_dir/. The $user_dir is always unique because it includes the request time in seconds (Unix time stamp).

It would be nice to have the option of specifying an export directory. This would allow us to export to the same folder each time to overwrite the file if required.

Proposed resolution

Add a textbox field in the views form to allow user to enter an export path, with token support.

User interface changes

New textbox field on views config form.
