template for csv formatter?

I answered my own question... No. Easy enough for even a basic hacker like me to add the functionality :). I had to modify a core file so hopefully you include this in your distribution. You'll see the extra code in the onListFormat and onRecordFormat functions. Now I can have a template for the csv formatter. I just specify the url with formatter=csv&template=ssp_csv. Replace "ssp_csv" with whatever the name of the template is (without the .php).

The file is plugins/mint/formatter_csv/formatter_csv.php

I updated plugins and added plugin parameter. But URL like you did will work also in case you need different template per section.

Great. Thanks Sergey. It's turned out very helpful to be able to use a template. I am using DPCalendar for a few things and I wanted my Cobalt events to display on the calendar integrated with it's native entries as well as be in Cobalt. DPCalendar has a plugin to read directly from CSV but they unfortunately require a very specific format in the CSV. With the template applied to the formatter I was able to make it all work perfectly and independantly control exactly what my record listing would look like in Cobalt. Yet another great functionality of Cobalt :)

If you have not yet posted review on JED, you are welcome.
