Drupal : How to export post from drupal 7 to Excel - drupal-7

I've inherited a Drupal site. I need to extract the post data only post title and url of it, out of the site to be able to import it into a different system, but I've never used Drupal and the site is live so I need to tread carefully in order to extract the data without affecting the site.
I try use this Export But canot understan use it, Sow How can i do that. and if any code to export data without modules or views tell me
So, How can export all post from my site that created after 1/1/2014

This is quite easy with drupal views.
Download and enable views, views excel import. -
http://drupal.org/project/views,
https://www.drupal.org/project/views_export_xls
Create an new views page (structure - views), set filter criteria for the type of content you like and date created criteria, set format to display fields. Add both title and link as fields (remove
wrappers if any).
Once you've completed 1,2 add new display to same view called Feed,
following from the module doc:
Add a new "Feed" display to your view.
Change its style to "XLS file"
Configure the options (such as name, quote, etc.).
Give it a path in the Feed settings such as "path/to/xls".
Optionally, you can choose to attach this to another of your displays by updating the "Attach to:" option in feed settings.
Once you've finished, navigate to the path.

How do I modify Drupal's Admin Screens?

I'm looking to edit Drupal's admin pages.
Some of the things I'm trying to achieve:
Remove is the the filter setting on the Content page/node/view. In other words, if I go to to the Content page and I filter by a certain type of node, then I leave that page, then come back, the filter setting is saved, I'd like it to reset each time I visit the Content page.
I would like to modify some of links associated with these pages, as an example on that Same Content page, the titles of the pages are linked to their 'front-end' views, I'd rather have them link to their 'edit' screens.
While I have been successful in modifying the front-end theme of Drupal, by editing the actual php files. I can't find the the same php files for the Admin theme. In our case we are using Seven (7.21). I've read something about views, and thought maybe the entire Admin theme is built as views, aka there no php files involved like the front-end theme has, but under the Views section I did not find any either. I'm still pretty new at this and coming from the Wordpress world, this is a Drupal is a lot different.
The logic for that section of the admin area is at (from the public root):
/modules/node
Specifically "node.admin.inc"
That being said, I don't recommend editing core scripts, as they will be overwritten when you update the core.
You could explore making your own module to supplement that page, or your own view or explore some pre-made modules, such as "Admin Views"
Find de view displayed and go to its configuration :
1 - Edit configuration view like suggested here : https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/44440/how-to-remember-exposed-filter-choices
2 - Rewrite output views to rewrite link : field https://www.drupal.org/node/1578524
Another option is to create and use your own dashboard/views to achive like you want http://definitivedrupal.org/suggestions/creating-custom-administrator-view-content
also you can see contrib module : https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_views
You don't have to use that default content overview page at all. Make your own instead:
Make a page view (you have to install views module if you already did not: https://www.drupal.org/project/views) and use table layout. Make sure that page paths starts with "admin" so it will use admin theme. Also pay attention about permissions, so only specific set of users (admins) can use it.
For that view you can freely select what columns you what to show. You can also allow ordering by any column and action if you click on some field.
Use exposed filters to add filtering form, again add any filters you need. You can even set the form to use AJAX, to do auto-submit when some filter field is changed, include reset button and more. Also for every exposed filed you can select (at fields settings) should it remember it's value or not.
At end, edit admin menu and add your new page to it so it will look and act as default one but will offer much more functionality. You can even totally remove default one from the admin menu.
Views module is very powerful, not only for front-end but also for back-end content handling.

How do I link a Wagtail custom form to its output?

When a custom form is created in Wagtail, I can see that it stores in the DB. What I'm not clear on is how to make it so that the admin UI contains the results in some manner. (A new link which lets you download a CSV would be fine, but I don't see how to do that)
How do I allow admin users the ability to see the results of the custom forms? Is this library the only way?
Once you create your first form page (i.e. a page of any page type that subclasses AbstractForm), a 'Forms' item will automatically appear in the left menu of the Wagtail admin. This provides a listing of all the form pages that exist on the site, allowing you to access the results of each one and download them as a CSV.

Creating an index page automatically

I'd like to have dotnetnuke build an index page based on pages that have a particular tabid. Are there any modules that do this already?
e.g. we create multiple pages under /News and then the index page lists links to all the news articles. Would be handy if we could also enter our own HTML text (maybe on the News article page itself) that is then displayed next to each link on the index page.
Thanks!
By default, there are no 'real' pages in DNN. Everything is served up in the Default.aspx from content that is stored in the database.
What you could do is create a module that populates data based on the TabId or Path. Then, there is a setting in DNN to make a module appear on EVERY page. Since the module is on every page, it could populate its data based on the TabId or the path, or just not show anything if it doesn't match your criteria.
For something like that, I used a module called SQLGridSelectedView from www.tressleworks.ca (I have no affiliation) and I wrote my own SQL to fill in the fields, and I defined a custom layout (instead of the default data grid) so I was able to do something like what you are asking without code.
There is a module from Ventrian called Child Links that does what you are talking about. You can use it to grab title & description from the pages below a relative to a specific page to build out menus etc.
It allows for formatting however you want as well.

dispaying slideshow on drupal homepage

I am building a website with drupal 7 in which I have two user roles i.e. a member and an expert. I want to display slideshow of expert type of users with their image, name and few lines describing them in every instance of slideshow. All 3 fields which I require are stored in mysql database as the users entered these details at the time of signup. I used view_slideshow module but I am unable to configure it my way. Unable to create new content type.
Can it be possible to display slideshow in the way I want?
I am using "busy" theme if its required.
Using the views slideshow module you should be able to create a view where instead of displaying content you display users. On the create view page there is a spot where it says 'show: content ' as a drop down. Change this to users and then when you have the views slideshows module change the display format on the same page to slideshow.

Custom page in drupal

hi i m new to drupal i want to know that how could i add my custom page for the display the some information which is come from databases, i have create that page in core php (for example information.php)but i want to add that page in drupal 7 how it is possible
looking for the quick and best reply
The quickest way would be to add a content type "Information" to your drupal site, rename your information.php file to node--information.tpl.php and use the Drupal Database API to get stuff from your database. Finally you'd want to put node--information.tpl.php in your theme/%themename/templates/ folder and add new content with the Content Type "Information".
The best way would be to make a new module. Build your menu structure and add a theming function that calls a template file. When calling the template file using theme(), pass along the data that needs to be displayed.
In addition you might want to check out the Custom Page module: http://drupal.org/project/custompage
