Export to xlsx, shapefile and csv all export to shapefile

I just upgraded a viewer to GVH 2.4.1. Lots of great new features!  I noticed that exporting search results to csv, shapefile or xlsx all result in a downloaded shapefile, even if I choose xlsx or csv.  I tried it in IE and Firefox with the same result. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  I experienced the same issue, but since we were disabling all export functionality I didn't follow up on what the issue was.  We use HTML5 v2.4.1 viewer as well.

  Hello Peter and Rebecca,

   

  This issue has been fixed in GVH 2.5. Can you take a look at ResultsListActions configuration of your Desktop.json.js and confirm that the configuration is similar to this:                {                   "text": "@language-menu-export-results-to-csv",                   "description": "@language-menu-export-results-to-csv-desc",                   "iconUri": "Resources/Images/Icons/Toolbar/csv-export-24.png",                   "hideOnDisable": true,                   "command": "ExportResultsTo",                   "commandParameter": {                     "format": "csv",                     "fsc": "{{context}}"                   }                 },                 {                   "text": "@language-menu-export-results-to-xlsx",                   "description": "@language-menu-export-results-to-xlsx-desc",                   "iconUri": "Resources/Images/Icons/Toolbar/xlsx-export-24.png",                   "hideOnDisable": true,                   "command": "ExportResultsTo",                   "commandParameter": {                     "format": "xlsx",                     "fsc": "{{context}}"                   }                 },                 {                   "text": "@language-menu-export-results-to-shp",                   "description": "@language-menu-export-results-to-shp-desc",                   "iconUri": "Resources/Images/Icons/Toolbar/shapefile-export-24.png",                   "hideOnDisable": true,                   "command": "ExportResultsTo",                   "commandParameter": {                     "format": "shp",                     "fsc": "{{context}}"                   }                 }

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Stefan,

  My ResultsListActions look the same as what you posted with one exception.  We do not have any "iconUri" property for any of the export options.

  Peter,

   

  That issue was fixed in the GVH 2.4.1 release and I'm not sure why this is occurring. Can you try clearing your browser cache?

   

  Do the features that you are exporting contain valid geometries?

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Hi Folks,

   

  This behavior can happen when you are using Essentials 4.2 or older.  Essentials 4.3 was the first version to support XLSX and CSV output formats from the Extract operation.  If you send a request to export to CSV/XLSX on an older version, it will fall back to Shapefile.
