Do you have any plans, or would it be possible to create a 'Report Generator' plugin, allowing custom reports to be created by the end user?

I've found a product that does this called 'Smart report maker', but would prefer something that could be used from the Admin menus and was in the style of the rest of CMS Builder.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul!

We don't have anything like that right now... but if you're interested in custom programming, drop an email to our consulting department at consulting@interactivetools.com. :)

Hi Paul.

I'm playing with using http://code.google.com/p/flot/ to generate charts based off the Membership and Favourites Plugins for a Real Estate Lisitngs website.

I'd be interested in what "generic" reports your hoping to generate.

As a standby, it's pretty easy to use the CSV export feature to get the data and do what you like with it.

Cheers,

Hi Paul,

I tried the demo at mysqlreports.com and didn't find it very intuitive, it seemed pretty complex. Were you able to get it to work for you?

There's so many different kinds of reports, I'm not sure how we'd make a user interface that would generate them all.

If you liked mysqlreports.com it might make sense to just figure out how to more easily link to it from CMSB and then display the reports within CMSB (or also linked).

Hope that helps!
