Hello,
I hope this will help you. In your js file do like this :
openerp.module_name = function(instance) {
var QWeb = openerp.web.qweb;
_t = instance.web._t;
instance.web.DataExport.include({
on_click_export_data: function() {
var self = this;
console.log('Put Your Code Here .. .. ');
return self._super();
},
});
};

Hi Tarek
The real export is done in a web controller at the url "/web/export/" followed by the specific export format. The formats available with their urls are:
openerp.addons.web.controllers.main.CSVExport used with the url "/web/export/csv"
openerp.addons.web.controllers.main.ExcelExport used with the url "/web/export/xls"
Depending of the format you need you could call the methods index or base on the corresponding class and passing the necessary arguments or finding and recreating the code

Hi,
The export is done by odoo, why call a javascript function from odoo, if the javascript function call an odoo method. if you need export your data see the method *export_data* in *openerp.models*
@api.multi
def export_data(self, fields_to_export, raw_data=False):
""" Export fields for selected objects

:param fields_to_export: list of fields
:param raw_data: True to return value in native Python type
:rtype: dictionary with a *datas* matrix

This method is used when exporting data via clie
