Attendees-view: Export function

In the attendees-view we do have a button to export to a csv file and when pressed it will output results.
But it can use an update as it's outputting no headers and when saving the files you can mess things up as the filename is not unique.

Am thinking of the following
- output column names
- add eventid+date+time to the filename

We do have Github to post issues but this is more an idea and so am posting it here
JEM: 2.1.5 // Joomla: 3.4.3

Good idea.

I also thought about header line but had not enough time yet to think more about that, e.g. how Excel expects this.

Regarding the fields one can see in your screenshot:
I already enhanced the output a bit (GitHub dev21/HEAD) e.g. show name or username depending on JEM setting as well as attending/waiting flag (using the already defined text).
But I would never add the user id because this is internal information not for event owner's eyes.
(also the event id is more for us or admins but not really for "normal" users)

Personally I would like to add date, time and event title to very first line - but yes, this will "destroy" the table layout, so not sure if this is a good idea (on Excel it should work but csv is not limited to this tool).
One idea (I tend to call it "hack" :laugh: ) could be to add a counter column and insert line zero with event title in name/username column, event date/time in registration date/time column and maybe summary "x/y+z" in status column...

about the userid username/name column:
in the backend we are showing those columns so when exporting the csv i guess it would make sense to export it. In the front it's a bit different.

Adding the info of the event within the csv would be nice to do but it's indeed giving problems with the layout.

Oops - sorry, I was on frontend only. :blush:
