Hi: A couple of weeks ago I posted a question about the Export Events mod that I installed, but isn't working -- it creates an empty file.

I haven't gotten an answer yet -- from either the designer or anyone here.

Now don't yell -- I know this is free (well, I paid for the original calendar), so I'm not stamping my feet or having a hissy fit.

But, I would like to find a way to export events out of the calendar for use in print. Is there another solution? Or a way to make the mod work?

Thanks for any help -- even if all you tell me is that there's no solution.

It's working fine for me and we use it to generate all kinds of reports in Excel. Keep trying, you'll get it working.

Well, that's encouraging.

But I'm stumped as to where to look.

I followed the instructions to the letter.

The mod installed fine and appears to run fine -- except that the file created is empty.

I am on a Macintosh (the server is Unix) -- could that have something to do with it?

Any ideas where I should be looking?

Ha! I figured it out.

The script wants to store (temporarily) the .txt file it generates in this directory:  plugins/csxport/csxdata

Well, I didn't have that directory and the script didn't create it automatically.  Thus, the empty text file.

I created the directory, set it to 777 and now all's fine and dandy.

Yup, that pesky little folder unpacks with the archive, but you have to upload it and permission it manually.

Here's a mod I came up with that allows your downloaded .txt files to be used directly with "Import Events." It's useful for copying lists of events between different calendars.
