zucker reports - put report in left hand menu for a module

[mikesolomon]

Is it possible to put a zucker report in the left hand menu panel of a module?

I have written several reports that are related to specific modules and I'd like to put them in the modules menu

Also is it possible to pass a parameter to a zucker report

Ideally I would like to put a button on detailview that will call a report and pass it the id of the record

Would it be the same with a ZuckerReports subpanel in that module?

Ok, your question makes me think you hade already tried that...
I dunno, I'm not very skilled on ZR but I thought a relationship could be set between Zucker and Sugar. Am I wrong?

I have got part way there

If I put $module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=ZuckerReports&action=Repo rtOnDemand&record=d5bb5a7e-6ae3-119f-9bb8-482034d6076b&return_module=zz_jobh&return_action=L istView", 'Job Sheet');

in Menu.php

I get the report in the menu

Now I would like it to open in a new window so i need to have the target=_blank in there somewhere

I need this because it does not return to the starting point after running a report

or even better work out how to run a report & pass parameter at the same time

Hey! I'd be very interested in this too... Would be able to view an account and see reports at a glance...

Have a look @ http://www.sugarforge.org/forum/foru...03&forum_id=87

I am now adding a button in detailviewdefs to add reports

array (
        'buttons' => 
        array (
          0 => 'EDIT',
          1 => 'DUPLICATE',
          2 => 'DELETE',
          3 => 
          array (
            'customCode' => '<input title="Job Time Report" accesskey="P" class="button" onclick="var w=window.open(\'index.php?module=ZuckerReports&action=ReportOnDemand&run=true&is_scheduler=false&record=64bd251e-f3b9-c714-4562-485fa71e21af&format=PDF&JobNumber={$fields.jobno.value}\');  w.setTimeout(\'window.close()\',8000); " name="button" value="Time Rep" type="button">',
          ),
        ),

Have your ZuckerReports manual handy, but there is a quick and easy way.

Once you have uploaded your report template, go the the detailview for the report template. Look for the "Module Bindings". Select the module you wish to bind the report to. Once the module binding is established, the report *should* be available on demand from the detailview of an object in the target module.

For example, I created a Master Account Report using iReport, uploaded the jrxml file and saved the template. Then I bound it to the Accounts module. I can now run the Master Account Report direct from any account record, as it added a quicklink to the shortcuts menu when viewing an account.

I have not been able get it to bind correctly to projects yet, but this is the way ZuckerReports is supposed to bind to modules. Note that this is not very well documented (yet). The ZuckerReports manual does outline this procedure, but could be better explained.

Hope this helps!
