How to enable charts on custom reports
November 07, 2010, 09:52:25 am
I have been building a report for showing the total revenue and number of registrants YTD grouped by event type.  Because it is such a high level report it would be ideal to present in a pie chart. 

Looking at the wiki, forums and following the Event/Income report as example it is still not clear how to enable charting on a report.  I was able to easily remove the "add to group" action list just by setting $_add2groupSupported = false; so at first I was expecting something similar for charts.

Does it have to do with how the query is structured?  Is it only supported on certain record or column types?  Is there an include that is required? 

Guidance will be much appreciated - cheers!

Check:

CRM/Report/Form/Contribute/Summary.php, function buildChart

that should give you a good example

would be great if you can update the report documentation to include instructions on how to build a chart once you figure it out

thanx

Thanks Lobo,

I will take a look there and hopefully get a useful set of instructions on the wiki for others.

Cheers,

Ben
