That feature is as great and advanced as limited for an everyday experience. A lot of users want simply to export the tree view they are looking to without bother what related records there are and what fields you need.</p> <p>Exporting to XML are much easier as long as yout target system handles this format. This export creates XML-records the pointed records and for all related records. The method tries to use external identifiers and when its missing it creates new ones.</p> <a name="usage"></a> <h2>Usage</h2> <p>1) /model/&lt;model-id&gt;/&lt;record_id&gt;/xml # <a class="reference external" href="http://stage.smart-eu.org/model/93/6/xml">http://stage.smart-eu.org/model/93/6/xml</a> = exports all res.users id=6 2) /model/&lt;model-id&gt;/all/xml # <a class="reference external" href="http://stage.smart-eu.org/model/93/all/xml">http://stage.smart-eu.org/model/93/all/xml</a> = exports all res.users</p> <p># Example # se_demo05 res.user id=93</p> <p>You can find the model id in settings/database structure/models (technical settings) and the record id for each instance of a model using the tree-view.</p> <p>Many2many fields are not correctly exported yet.</p> <p>not yet: After you installed it, you'll find an additional link 'Export current Model' right below the 'Export' one. By clicking on it you'll get a XML file contains the same data of the Model you are looking at.</p> <a name="the-methods"></a> <h2>The methods</h2> <p>This module consists of two methods/functions.</p> <p>export_xml([records]) # returns each record with all fields for that model as an xml-record get_related([records]) # returns all related records for the list of records recursively</p> <dl class="docutils"> <dt>example:</dt> <dd>document = etree.tostring(export_xml(get_related(request.registry[model.model].browse(request.cr,request.uid,records),0)),pretty_print=True,encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;)</dd> </dl> <a name="credits"></a> <h2>Credits</h2> <p>Vertel AB</p> <a name="contributors"></a> <h3>Contributors</h3> <blockquote> <ul class="simple"> <li>Anders Wallenquist &lt;<a class="reference external" href="mailto:anders.wallenquist&#64;vertel.se">anders.wallenquist&#64;vertel.se</a>&gt;</li> </ul> </blockquote>
