FormBrowser CSV export issue (charset)
Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2018 4:49 pm
Hi there
I have some lengthy FormBuilder forms set up to shoot emails and save the data in the FormBrowser module (most recent version of the module and CMS). To export the data, I rely on FormBrowser to export CSV files.
Because my data contains German and French language, I need the CSV files to be in utf-8. But now I have the issue explained years ago in the Bug Tracker: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/bug/view/3308
The proposed solution does not generate proper files anymore for me.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Unfortunately I can't share real data because of privacy issues.

Secondary issue: the default suffix for the exported files is .xls, yet the format is .csv – that is easily fixed by renaming the file. But I would appreciate a more direct solution as well.
