README

This plugin allows you to export entries in ZIP format from the control panel. The resulting archive contains a static HTML rendering of the entry along with its images, videos, scripts and styles.

Example of resulting archive:

export.zip
├── page-name-1-en.html
├── page-name-2-en.html
└── media
    ├── styles.5875592d.css
    ├── scripts.8b5a78f2.js
    ├── image-1.808162ef.jpg
    ├── logo.5b4d3420.svg
    ├── my-font.9a212477.woff
    └── ...

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-RC1 or later.

Installation

You can install this plugin from the Plugin Store or with Composer.

From the Plugin Store

Go to the Plugin Store in your project’s Control Panel and search for “Page exporter”. Then click on the “Install” button in its modal window.

With Composer

Open your terminal and run the following commands:

# go to the project directory
cd /path/to/my-project

# tell Composer to load the plugin
composer require la-haute-societe/craft-page-exporter

# tell Craft to install the plugin
./craft plugin/install craft-page-exporter

Usage

Select one or more entries from admin/entries, then select Export from the context menu.

You can also export a single entry from its edit page.

Configuration

You can configure the plugin's behavior from the plugin settings page. Or, for more options, from the configuration file config/craft-page-exporter.php.

Example of (simple) configuration file :

<?php

return [
    'inlineStyles'      => true,
    'inlineScripts'     => true,
    'exportPathFormat'  => 'media/{filename}-{hash}{extension}',
    'exportUrlFormat'   => 'media/{filename}-{hash}{extension}',
];

Configuration settings

The configuration file can contain the following settings:

inlineStyles

Default: true

Whether external stylesheets must be inlined in the main HTML page inside a style tag.

If true, external stylesheets content will be moved inside a <style> tags.

If false, external stylesheets will be left in external files.

inlineScripts

Default: true

Whether external scripts must be inlined in the main HTML page inside a script tag.

If true, external scripts content will be moved inside a <script> tags.

If false, external scripts will be left in external files.

exportPathFormat

Default: {dirname}/{basename}

Format of the asset path in the ZIP archive. This path is relative to the root of the archive.

It's possible:

• to keep the structure of the original folders: {dirname}/{basename}
• to put all assets in a single folder: media/{filename}{extension}
  In that case it's recommended to add a hash in the file name to avoid any filename collision: media/{filename}-{hash}{extension}

The following variables are available:

You can also use any Twig expression like:

my-folder/{{ "now"|date("Y-m") }}/{{ hash[:1] }}/{{ hash[1:1] }}/{hash}/{{ filename|upper }}{extension}

which will create this path:

\my-folder\2019-05\1\8\18f4a488\MY-IMAGE.png

exportUrlFormat

Default: {dirname}/{basename}

Format of the asset URL in the ZIP archive.

In most cases, this path should correspond to the exportPathFormat setting.

This parameter accepts the same variables as exportPathFormat.

If you plan to place your assets on a CDN for example, you can specify an absolute URL : https://my.cdn.example.com/xyz/{dirname}/{basename}

archiveFilename

Default: export

Filename of the ZIP archive.

assetTransformers

Default: []

Collection of transformers that can be used to modify the content or path of assets.

For example, to add a comment at the beginning of an HTML file:

return [
    // ...
    'assetTransformers' => [
        function (lhs\craftpageexporter\models\Asset $asset) {
            // Target only HTML asset
            if (!($asset instanceof lhs\craftpageexporter\models\HtmlAsset)) {
                return;
            }

            $content = $asset->getContent();

            $user = Craft::$app->getUser()->getIdentity();
            $manifest = '<!-- Page generated on ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s') . ' by ' . $user->username . ' -->';
            $content = $manifest . PHP_EOL . $content;

            $asset->setContent($content);
        },
    ]
];

If you modify content of child assets you should call the method $asset->updateInitiatorContent() after updating the asset in order to forward the update to his parent.

customSelectors

Child assets are found thanks to XPath expressions.

If you want to add asset to the ZIP archive with custom XPath, for something like:

<tag whatever="{{ myImageUrl }}"></tag>

you can add selectors like that:

return [
    // ...
    'customSelectors' => [
       [
         'selectors'  => [
             '//tag/@whatever',
          ],
          'assetClass' => lhs\craftpageexporter\models\MiscAsset::class,
       ]
    ],
];

• selectors: collection of XPath expression
• assetClass: one of the following Asset class:
  • ImageAsset: external image(s) URL
  • InlineStyleAsset: inline stylesheet
  • StyleAsset: external stylesheet URL
  • ScriptAsset: external script URL
  • MiscAsset: any type of external asset URL (video, audio...)

sourcePathTransformer

Default: null

Function used to transform the absolute url of assets to file path.
If not set, paths are defined like that:

return [
    // ...
    'sourcePathTransformer' => function (lhs\craftpageexporter\models\Asset $asset) {
        return str_replace(
            UrlHelper::baseRequestUrl(),
            Yii::getAlias('@webroot/'),
            $asset->getAbsoluteUrl()
        );
    },
];

By default, if asset file is not found, its content will be empty. No error is displayed.

entryContentExtractor

Default: null

If not set, the content of entries is generated with th Craft method Controller::renderTemplate().
You can define a custom callback function which return HTML content from entry:

return [
    // ...
   'entryContentExtractor' => function (\craft\elements\Entry $entry) {
       return file_get_contents($entry->initialAbsoluteUrl);
   },
];

failOnFileNotFound

Default: false

If true an exception will be thrown if an asset file is not found.
Otherwise, no error is displayed and an empty file will be created in the archive.

Register assets explicitly

If some assets cannot be targeted by an XPath expression, for example if you need to generate a JSON containing URLs, you can explicitly register assets from the twig template:

{% set object = {
    video: craft.pageExporter.registerAsset(video),
    image: craft.pageExporter.registerAsset(image),
} %}

<script>
    const myObject = {{ object|json_encode|raw }};
    console.log(myObject);
</script>

Licensing

This plugin is free to try in development environments, but requires payment to be used in production environments. The license fee for this plugin is $29 (license + one year of updates) via the Craft Plugin Store, then $5 per year for updates (optional).
