Get on the export functionality!


Consider Views Data Export requires a new view to be created that has all the fields that you want o export, so it's not the most versatile. What we really need is a node export system that includes all fields by default.


Really what people want from Views is a way to export the nodes shown in the Views, not just the data they are currently seeing. Trying out Node Export. Might also needhttp://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations


This is going well for the one-off things like exporting a single locality or specimen from the node view, especially since I got flipped tables to work. Need to build this into the views that list more than one node at a time next.


Permissions __Don't forget to make sure that only truncated position fields are exported for Coordinate nodes.
