ZoneMinder Export Failed Fix

If your getting export failed or a 45KB file from ZoneMinder export in Ubuntu, then most likely you are using a version below 1.25.0 of Zoneminder. Here is how to fix it.

1) Open  terminal on the server running zoneminder.

2) Enter the following:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/includes/export_functions.php

3) Scroll to line 255 and look for the following line(error is in red):

$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid ), $exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc );

and edit it to this(remove bracket at the end of $eid and place it after $exportMisc):

$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid , $exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc ));

Save and close the file. Now try the export function and it should work without a hitch.
