Understanding/Issues with Grid Export Process

[George SParticipant]

Hello,

I have just started using jqWidgets, and am having a few challenges. I have a grid, which loads data from a JSON stream. I now want to export that data, specifically to PDF and Excel. I found the samples, and incorporated that. When I run it, I get two issues:

1). I get an error/warning message in the console showing “Mixed Content: The page at <my internal web server> was loaded over a secure connection, but contains a form which targets an insecure endpoint ‘http://jquerygrid.net/export_server/save_file.php’ This endpoint should be made available over a secure server.” ….. It appears that my data is being sent to your server. Is this accurate? Why? This is confidential data that I do now want to let out of my companies intranet, so how do I prevent this?

2). Even though there are only 246 rows, I get an error message “Request Entity Too Large. The requested resource /subfolder1/export_server/save-file.php does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.” Doe this mean that exporting to Excel can’t handle 246 rows?

Thanks

Hi George S,

1. Our server is for evaluation/test purposes only. If you want to send data through your server, then you have to purchase Developer/Enterprise license, host the file on your server and update the serverURL param of exportdata method to point to your Server.
2. Same as 1.

OK. A little confused here. I just bought a website license yesterday. The License descriptions says that it “includes all widgets”. Where do I go to see that core functionality like exporting is NOT included? What other restrictions are there?

Hi George S,

The Website license does not include the source code as pointed out on the license page. The Export file is part of the source code. The Export works perfectly fine through our server and of course we put limits on our server as more than 100K developers use it.

So now you have 2 options – implement your own data export file and upload it on your server or Export the data to a local variable(explained in the API Docs how to do that) and process it with some custom code, too.

Did I overlook this somewhere? If this is not explicitly stated somewhere, it would be nice to do so on your license page. Outside of not having source code, what other restrictions exists?

Hi George S,

There are no restrictions. As the file is part of the source code, on the license page is pointed out which licenses include it.
