Re: Use CakeResponse in Helper.

Didn't know Savant had a csv plugin. Good to know, although we usually export to excel.

Why are you using a view/helper for this?
Use https://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-csvview then you have the full response object available directly in the action.

And no template needed, as the view class itself is responsable for directly transforming the array into the CSV structure.

Hello i try to write an helper to create and download a CSV.

Now i have the problem to set the type in the helper.

I try:

function renderHeaders() {
    $response = new CakeResponse(array(
       'type' => 'csv'
    ));
    $response->download($this->filename);
    $response->send();
}

Now i can download the file, but it's always type "text/html".

When i set in the controller $this->response->type('csv'); it works correct.

Is there a way to use the CakeResponse in the Helper?

Kind Regards
Steffen
