[BUG] Export forces Whole Database when a collection is selected & open

[barrett-rob]

Describe the bug

When I click export for a collection it always defaults to "Whole database"

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on "Content Manager" on the LHS
2. Click on a collection
3. Click the "Export" button
4. Observe that the dialog/modal shows "Whole database"

Expected behavior

I should be able to export only the selected collection.

Sorry! I should add this is for the following versions:

    "@strapi/strapi": "4.17.0",
    "strapi-plugin-import-export-entries": "^1.23.1",

[abhishek1020N]

The issue is due to the change in the strapi cms url path. The error arises inside the hook useSlug. Here the value of the slug is set based on the regex with const matches = pathname.match(/content-manager\/(collectionType|singleType)\/([a-zA-Z0-9\-:_.]*)/); However in the latest strapi version post 4.16, the match should be done with const matches = pathname.match(/content-manager\/(collection-types|single-types)\/([a-zA-Z0-9\-:_.]*)/);.

Hope this helps and we recieve the new version sooner. @Baboo7

Any update on that? Tnx

@barrett-rob @red-made I suggest you use patch-package. Changes are based from @abhishek1020N.

1. Make an edit to the node_modules

• Navigate to: node_modules > strapi-plugin-import-export-entries > admin > src > hooks > useSlug.js
• Update content

• const matches = pathname.match(/content-manager\/(collectionType|singleType)\/([a-zA-Z0-9-:_.]*)/);
• const matches = pathname.match(/content-manager\/(collectionType|singleType|collection-types|single-types)\/([a-zA-Z0-9-:_.]*)/);

2. Make changes persist in the project

• Run npx patch-package strapi-plugin-import-export-entries

• A new dir and file should be created automatically calledpatches/strapi-plugin-import-export-entries+1.23.1.patch. Should look something like so:

  
  diff --git a/node_modules/strapi-plugin-import-export-entries/admin/src/hooks/useSlug.js b/node_modules/strapi-plugin-import-export-entries/admin/src/hooks/useSlug.js
  index 3d206c9..24d3866 100644
  --- a/node_modules/strapi-plugin-import-export-entries/admin/src/hooks/useSlug.js
  +++ b/node_modules/strapi-plugin-import-export-entries/admin/src/hooks/useSlug.js
  @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ export const useSlug = () => {
  const { pathname } = useLocation();
  
  const slug = useMemo(() => {

• const matches = pathname.match(/content-manager\/(collectionType|singleType)\/([a-zA-Z0-9-:_.]*)/);
• const matches = pathname.match(/content-manager\/(collectionType|singleType|collection-types|single-types)\/([a-zA-Z0-9-:_.]*)/); return matches?.[2] ? matches[2] : SLUG_WHOLE_DB; }, [pathname]);

3. Install patch-package: So that when yarn install - our changes will be applied

• Run: yarn add patch-package postinstall-postinstall
• Update package.json

  "scripts": {
  ...
  "postinstall": "patch-package"
  }

4. (Optional) Ensure that our changes applied

• Delete node_modules: rm -rf node_modules
• Reinstall packages: yarn install
• Start Strapi: yarn build && yarn start
• Test that the issue is fixed

Any official fix?

The steps given by @KantapongC works perfectly. There have been multiple PR's done to fix the issue but the dev has been unavailable
