Update timeline

  1. investigating Nov 09, 2016, 05:20 PM UTC

    We have been made aware of an issue with exporting certain resources from Moodle via CSV and Excel formats which are loading inside the browser and not downloading. As a temporary measure you can copy and paste the contents into a text editor and save it as filename.csv (without .txt) and this will temporarily enable you to download files. The development team are investigating the issue.

  2. identified Nov 10, 2016, 01:11 PM UTC

    We have established that as part of the recent Moodle Upgrade, CSV files appended a blank line prior rendering them in the browser. We have identified the issue and are working on the fix.

  3. resolved Nov 10, 2016, 01:12 PM UTC

    We have identified the plugin which is providing the whitespace. This has been removed and a patch has been applied to all servers. CSV exporting should now continue as normal. If you have any issues, please contact Helpdesk.
