Report Builder & Report Writer Help !!!!

Unread post by rcaley »

Hi All,

I would like to be able to ask a couple of questions about Report Builder & Writer.

First thing how does report builder & writer work? I wish to create a report for one of my customers but I am unsure on how to do this? Also when I use a sample report and try to email it or email it as a PDF, Nubuilder allows me to enter my email address however the email fails to send and doesn't give me an error message as to why? within the system septup, email settings I have entered the correct Authenticated SMTP settings, but still I am unable to send any emails? :(

Would be grateful for any help or advice you could offer.

Kind Regards.

rcaley,

This item in our wiki might help http://wiki.nubuilder.com/tiki-index.ph ... Report+Tab

Although the graphic here show some complex php, if your report is simply printing all customers, the only php you would need here is something like this..

Code: Select all

nuRunQuery("CREATE TABLE #dataTable# SELECT * FROM customer");
(#dataTable# is a temporary table that holds the data to be displayed)
