pretix-selective-export (draft)

pretix exporter plugin that lets you pick exactly which fields to export. It supports event-level exports as well as organizer-level exports that aggregate all events into one file.

Notes:

• Activate the plugin at the organizer level to use multi-event exports.
• Activate it for an event to use event-level exports.
• Field selection includes model fields, related labels, invoice fields (when invoice addresses exist), and question answers (when answers exist).
• Presets: save/load field selections directly on the export form without reloading. Presets are stored in the browser (localStorage) per URL/event.

Setup (pretix + plugin)

These steps assume a local pretix checkout and Python 3.10+.

1. Create and activate a virtualenv:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install pretix (editable) and its dev requirements:

git clone https://github.com/pretix/pretix.git
cd pretix
pip install -U pip
pip install -e ".[dev]"

3. Install this plugin (editable):

pip install -e /path/to/selective_export_plugin

4. Enable the plugin in pretix:

• Add pretix_selective_export to the PLUGINS list in your pretix config.

5. Run pretix and use the exporter:

• Start pretix using the standard dev-server command for your checkout. Common options are:

python src/manage.py runserver

• If that doesn't work in your setup, follow the upstream pretix development setup instructions and use their start command.
• For event-level exports: enable the plugin on the event and go to the export page.
• For organizer-level exports: enable the plugin on the organizer and use the organizer export page (single aggregated file).
