Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

Visualizations

BEFORE Requires considerable vertical scrolling AFTER If the report has a SQL statement and no report-builder field values, the report-builder-fields are hidden. Note the message and button in the enlarged inset.

AFTER If the report has report-builder field values and no SQL statement, the SQL statement field is hidden. This visualization is on a screen wide enough for the three report-builder fieldsets to float side-by-side. Note the message and button in the enlarged inset.

AFTER If the report is empty or has report-builder field values AND a SQL statement. This visualization is on a screen only wide enough for two fieldsets to float side-by-side. A narrower screen would look like the BEFORE visualization. Note the message and button in the enlarged inset.

Issues

With Mozilla Firefox, at certain browser widths, and when all 4 fieldsets are displayed, the direct SQL entry field can float to the right and part-way off the screen. This can be corrected by hiding the SQL field, or the report-builder fields, or by adjusting the width of the screen.

Revision History

Mod Version TNG Version Date Note
12.0.0.6 12.0 - 12.0.2+ 21Dec2018 - In admin_reports.php, the Add New tab invokes admin_editreport.php

- admin_editreport.php now can start the record from scratch when it is not given a reportID.
- made compatible with TNGv12.

11.0.0.5p 10.1.0-11.1.2+ 07 Nov 2017 Removed the second line from the cust_text.php target location search string
11.0.0.5a 11.0.0+ 29 May 2017 New name; See Floating Report Editor for older history.
  • Wrapped "save as copy" checkbox in a no-word-wrap label element - thus both keeping it from wrapping, and allowing a click on the text to check the box
  • Added a "Run Report" button that does the the same as the "test" button in the search results table in admin_reports.php; that is, it launches showreport.php in a new window.
  • The Display Mod Names mod is now optional
