I tried to create reports, but I don't see any of them.

class DBReport_AquistatiProducts extends SideReport {

function title() {
return "Prodotti Acquistati";
}

function records() {
return DataObject::get("Product", "Aquistato = 1", "Title");
}

function fieldsToShow() {
return array(
"Title" => array("NestedTitle", array("2")),
);
}
}

and under mysite/code/reports

class CurrentOrdersReport extends SSReport {
...
}

Is there a guideline?
Thank you

In 2.3 these would appear automatically after doing a ?flush=1. In 2.4 you now have to register the reports you want to include in the cms via this line of code in your _config file.

SS_Report::register("SideReport", "SideReport_NameOfReport");

Hi Wilr,

I have a class that extends the SS_Report. And I have this module that saves the report in a PDF format, its called DOMPDF module. Now, the thing is I want to create a custom template to render the report. Is this possible? If it is indeed possible, how do I go through this?

Thanks in advance!

And again - IS THERE A GUIDELINE?
This seems to be horrendously underdocumented for something taking up a full tab in the CMS.
The only tutorial I can find is http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/reference/site-reports and that's completely out of date.

So what needs to be done to add a report for 2.4?
And is it SideReport or SS_Report now?

rwestera, I know I'm replying to a months old post and you've probably switched to Drupal by now, but for anyone else trying to do this...

This seems to be horrendously underdocumented for something taking up a full tab in the CMS.

See http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/cms/reports/SS_Report.html

If you use the code as documentation, then you have everything you need.

E.g. See cms/code/reports/BrokenLinksReport.php to see how to write a report. Search all php files for 'BrokenLinksReport' to see how it's utilised.

This report allows users to download a csv of all users in the newsletter group:

class UserReport extends SS_Report {

	function title() {
		return 'Users';
	}

	function sourceRecords($params, $sort, $limit) {

		return DataObject::get(
				  "Member"
				, "`Group`.`code`='newsletter'"
				, $sort
				, "inner join group_members on member.id = group_members.MemberId inner join `group` on group_members.GroupId = `group`.id"
				, $limit
			);
	}

	function columns() {

		$fields = array(
			  'FirstName' => array(
					'title' => 'First name'
				)
			, 'Surname' => array(
					'title' => 'Surname'
				)
			, 'Email' => array(
					'title' => 'Email'
				)
			);

		return $fields;
	}

}

To register a report in the CMS 'Reports' tab...

SS_Report::register('ReportAdmin', 'UserReport', -19);

I guess the number at the end determines the order they are shown in the menu.

I think...

SS_Report::register("SideReport", "SideReport_NameOfReport");

...is for reports that appear on the pages tab under 'Site Reports'.

There is now an up to date tutorial for adding reports here: http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2011/adding-custom-filterable-reports-to-reportadmin/

Hope that helps :)
