stream property to false. This way the exported data will be directly written to a file instead of streaming to buffer. The exported file will be then displayed as a web accessible link for download. You may see some improvement by avoiding memory issues due to output buffering, and the file is saved directly to a web server folder. You can provide the folder and linkPath properties to set the folder for saving and the web accessible link location for the saved file respectively. The extension will automatically show a link to the saved file based on above settings. You can set the afterSaveView file to point to your own view that displays the generated file link. Note: The target property will automatically be overridden to ExportMenu::TARGET_SELF or _self when this is set.Not seeing the updated content on this page!
