Reportico has a nice interface that allows users to select a report to run, then fill out the criteria and run it. However, in some cases, we want more control. This is done programmatically with a a simple call to the reportico URL.
For more control, you can instantiate a copy of the reportico class or namespace. I will not cover namespace here since that is pretty well documented. Instead, I will cover setting up a class. The documentation is not available on this, but you can read the code in run.php, which is well documented.
The following PHP script will accept a report name (file name, sans the .xml) and show the report screen. I've left the comments from the original code, and added a few myself.
<?php $page_title = 'Reports'; // get the report to execute, minus the .xml $thisReport = $_REQUEST['reportname']; // taken from start.php require_once( "/path/to/reportico/vendor/autoload.php" ); // set error reporting level error_reporting(E_ALL); // Turn on logging ot browser console //Reportico\Engine\ReporticoLog::activeDebugMode(); // Set the timezone according to system defaults date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get()); // Reserver 100Mb for running ini_set("memory_limit","100M"); // Allow a good time for long reports to run. Set to 0 to allow unlimited time ini_set("max_execution_time","90"); // Only turn on output buffering if necessary, normally leave this commented //ob_start(); // Instantiate Reportico $reportico = new Reportico\Engine\Reportico(); // Force reset of session handling, so you always start from scratch $reportico->clear_reportico_session = true; // Start user in specific project $reportico->initial_project = 'reporticoProjectName'; // If starting user in specific project then project passweord is required if one exists // and you dont want user to have to type it in $reportico->initial_project_password = 'reportico project password'; // Specify a report to start user in specify the xml report file in the specified project folder $reportico->initial_report = "$thisReport.xml"; // Specify whether user is started in administration page, project menu, report criteria entry, // report output or report design mode, use respectively ( "ADMIN", "MENU", "PREPARE", "EXECUTE", "MAINTAIN") // default is "ADMIN" $reportico->initial_execute_mode = "PREPARE"; // Specify access mode to limit what user can do, one of :- // FULL - the default, allows user to log in under admin/design mode and design reports // ALLPROJECTS - allows entry to admin page to select project but no ability to logon in admin/designer mode // ONEPROJECT - allows entry to a single project and no access to the admin page // ONEREPORT - limits user to single report, crtieria entry and report execution ( requires initial project/report ) // REPORTOUTPUT - executes a report and allows to "Return" button to crtieria entry ( requires initial project/report ) //$reportico->access_mode = "<MODE>"; $reportico->access_mode = "ONEREPORT"; // For passing external user parameters, can be referenced in SQL with {USER_PARAM,parameter_name} // and can be referenced in custom SQL with $this->user_parameters $reportico->user_parameters["userid"] = $_SESSION['user-id']; // Show or hide various report elements $reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_navigation_menu"] = "hide"; $reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_dropdown_menu"] = "hide"; //$reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_report_output_title"] = "show"; //$reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_section_boxes"] = "hide"; //$reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_pdf_button"] = "show"; // the expand HTML button in second window $reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_html_button"] = "hide"; // the HTML icon $reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_print_html_button"] = "hide"; if ( $thisReport == 'merchandise_received') { $reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_csv_button"] = "hide"; } //$reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_page_style"] = "show"; // the "Go" button $reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_go_buttons"] = "hide"; //$reportico->output_template_parameters["show_hide_prepare_reset_buttons"] = "hide"; $reportico->pdfDownloadMethod = 'inline'; // Set a theme // ====================== // Use the specified folder under the themes folder to identify which templates, stylesheets and js to use for the instance //$reportico->theme = "default"; $reportico->theme = "bootstrap4"; //$reportico->url_path_to_templates = "themes"; // Set this to true to allow changes to edits to theme templates to be reflected immediately, otherwise // you will need to clear out the themes/cache folder to register any changes $reportico->disableThemeCaching = true; // Setup SESSION Reportico\Engine\ReporticoSession::setUpReporticoSession($reportico->session_namespace); // Run the report $reportico->execute(); ?>
Note that this script assigns the SESSION value of user-id to the external use parameter 'userid'. This can be referenced within the report or criteria as {USERPARAM, 'userid'}
