New Extensions for Reports

@Mac - You can create your own controller in mailwizz, and simply place your logic there, so you can have a Jasper_reportsController.php file and put your login in it, like:
PHP: 
class Jasper_reportsController extends Controller 
{
    public function init()
    {
        parent::init();
        // make sure we load the extension
        Yii::import('ext.YiiJasper.*');
    }
    public function actionIndex()  
    {
         $pages = '1-4';
         $re = new JasperReport('/reports/samples/AllAccounts');
         $re->exec();
          echo $re->toHTML($pages); //Page 1 to 4
    }
}
 
Hello Twisted,

Thanks for your reply and codes.

I created a controller file and put it "apps/backend/controllers" folder.

Now my problem is how can i access that file, how can i create a Menu Item to access that controller.

Thanks a lot!!!
 
@Mac - You should be able to access it at a url like: http://www.domain.com/backend/index.php/jasper_reports
As for putting it in menu, it's simple, inspired from: https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/customer-area-menu-items.6/, (read that article too)
you can create and use an extension to accomplish this:
PHP: 
<?php defined('MW_PATH') || exit('No direct script access allowed');

class CustomMenuItemsExt extends ExtensionInit
{
    // name of the extension as shown in the backend panel
    public $name = 'Custom menu items';
    // description of the extension as shown in backend panel
    public $description = 'Add new links in the menus';
    // current version of this extension
    public $version = '1.0';

    // the author name
    public $author = 'Your name';
    // author website
    public $website = 'http://www.website.com/';
    // contact email address
    public $email = 'your.email@domain.com';
    // in which apps this extension is allowed to run
    public $allowedApps = array('customer', 'backend');

    // can this extension be deleted? this only applies to core extensions.
    protected $_canBeDeleted = true;
    // can this extension be disabled? this only applies to core extensions.
    protected $_canBeDisabled = true;

    // run the extension, this is mandatory
    public function run()
    {
        if ($this->isAppName('backend')) {
            Yii::app()->hooks->addFilter('backend_left_navigation_menu_items', function($items){
                $items['jasper_reports']  = array(
                    'name'   => Yii::t('app', 'Jasper reports'),
                    'icon'   => 'glyphicon-book',
                    'active' => 'jasper_reports',
                    'route'  => array('jasper_reports/index'),
                );
                return $items;
            });
        }
    }
}
 
Hello Twisted,

Thanks for the codes, i am able to run the controller, but i have now more issue, the below code
PHP: 
public function actionIndex()
    {
         $pages = '1-4';
         $re = new JasperReport('/reports/samples/AllAccounts');
         $re->exec();
          echo $re->toHTML($pages); //Page 1 to 4
        //echo 'hi';
    }

is not running but when i comment this code and just simple echo 'hi' its show 'hi' without layout.

I placed the 'YiiJasper' extension folder in "apps/extensions" and configured it like as per document.

Please check debug mode screenshot in attachment.

Whats wrong there, please guide.

Thanks!

@Mac - seems Yii::import('ext.YiiJasper.*'); is not valid. Try Yii::import('root.apps.extensions.YiiJasper.*'); or simply require the JasperReport.php class directly using the absolute path.
 
Thanks for your inputs, Yes now its seams to working but its have another issue, please check screen shot.

I think its a "path" problem.

Thanks for all your help, really appreciated.

It's a timeout issue, basically the report generating takes too much time.
Just increase your PHP timeout limit to a few minutes, by default it's 30 seconds i believe, then try again.
