Job: make reports pretty
  • January 1970 Edit

    Hi All,

    Problem :
    - The current reports although functional, look very basic and ugly

    Job available :
    - Make the current reports look all pretty via css
    -- preferably using no borders (or white borders) for the tables and keeping it simple but attractive

    Cheers

    I would like to have a look at this ... and implement the calendar feature if possible.

    Do you have any information on where to start to understand how reports are working (which file does what ... )

    hey pierre

    great to hear your interested

    for reports we use http://phpreports.sf.net - and refer ./modules/reports and ./templates/default/reports for the files

    but im more interested in dropping phpreports and just using normal sql statements integrate it with something like jquery flot http://code.google.com/p/flot/ http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/examples/graph-types.html to add pretty charts to the reports

    or somethign like http://pchart.sourceforge.net/

    im sure we add pretty charts + date selector + normal tabular data if we put our minds to it

    let me know your thoughts

    cheers

    I was thinking that the best thing to do is css... we will see though

  • justinjustin January 2009

    hey nead51

    making the current reports all pretty via css will be the start - once we got that then we'll try and make some funky charts

    cheers

    Justin i was just cruising through your documentation and I found the CSS info in the wiki and someone came up with a really sharp invoice!!! i will play with i some maybe what needs to be talked about is a invoice css selector or documentation on changing the css.

    hey nead51

    more documentation in invoice templates is definitely required

    a nice css selector type thing for each invoice template is also a good idea - i'll keep it in mind - i've added it into our 'dreamtime' roadmap

    refer:
