  • Using different databases for loading reports data. Standard Joomla database drivers are supported including MSSQL via 'Microsoft SQL Server Driver for PHP'.
  • Creating of reports by entering SQL query, editing of query with SQL profile and explain results, easy inserting of tags and database tables into query.
  • Configurable filters for reports of few types (text field, text area, drop-down lists, checkboxes, radio inputs with either manually entered options or options loaded via SQL query), filter's values can be used in query as via tags.
  • Conditional statements for query: certain parts of SQL can be executed only if filter's value was entered.

  • Ability to embed reports into articles via special {reportid=x} tag (Joomla content plugin is included).
  • Ability to group report rows by column.
  • Ability to email reports via special link (great feature to receive reports scheduled by a cronjob).
  • Import/Export of reports in XML helps to transfer your reports between websites.
  • Custom .ttf fonts support for HTML-based reports including PDF (fonts are embedded into .pdf documents).
  • Selection of PDF generation engine: either server-independent 'dompdf' or more powerful 'wkhtmltopdf' engine can be used. 'wkhtmltopdf' engine requires wkhtmltopdf library to be installed on your server.
  • Native Joomla task plugin to schedule email of specific reports in PDF and XLS.
  • to be continued...

WOW what a great extension



Posted on 30 December 2013
I have searched for a lightweight but super powerful reporting tool for Joomla for a longtime now and stumbled across this when purchasing another extension from Alterbrains. This would have to be the best reporting extension out there at the moment. Top that off with incredibly helpful and fast support these guys have got it all covered. I just wish i could have given more stars. The features and flexibility written into this extension are amazing. If you need a reporting tool this is a must have.
Of all the extensions I've used over the years to display data from form submissions or anything else I wanted to present in a spreadsheet like format, this is the best by a long ways. Extremely flexible in presentation, layout and filtering of the data. So much control at any level, from the entire report down to just one column of information. The control of the presentation for both front end and backend has a great hierarchy that is easy to comprehend and implement. The support is at the very top of my list of developers, I can count on one hand the extension developers that are of this quality.



This is a bit embarrassing, but I didn't know there was a manual for the product until about my third inquiry into how to do something. And with this extremely robust extension I was still able to figure out almost everything I wanted to do without a manual. Now that I have a manual, I'm really going to have fun.



One last thing, the more you know about MySQL queries, the more you will be able to do with this program. You at least need to know how to make a simple SELECT, FROM, WHERE statement. If that doesn't mean anything to you, you will need to get a less robust extension for displaying your data.
