Ability to add multiple custom exports to ModelAdmin about django-import-export HOT 7 CLOSED

I think, this issue has to reopen
I am using django import and export in django admin

But we want multiple types of export for the same model
Eg. We have investors model
We want exports like

1. Investors data for issuing shares
2. Investors data for compliance data with different fields
3. Founders to see investors with invested project.

from django-import-export.

having an option to use multiple resource classes will be very handy

I have models with various M2M relationships and sometimes can get export data for only some of those without a need 2 touch the rest

it's all doable using export first, etc etc + there's a workaround with Proxy Models but would be much easier to choose the resource class when you need to update just some (sets) of the data

from django-import-export.

What is the relationship between Game and Level models?

from django-import-export.

The Level model has a foreign key to Game, and is shown inline in the Game ModelAdmin.

from django-import-export.

You are able to do that by explicitly defining fields (in Meta class)

from django-import-export.

If you want to export Level data, together with Game data, you can do that by customizing GameResource, as @geeknam described above.

However, for having multiple different exporters per Admin Model you would have to write your own admin views. This should not be complicated at all, see how ExportMixin is implemented.

from django-import-export.

I am closing this issue for now since it can be achieved without need to update django-import-export.

If it turns out that more people need such feature or can it can be added easily let's discuss further.
