Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I have developped many modules, but when i want to design the reports i use always OpenOffice report designer
Today I asked one question : I know that there are also aero and webkit and pentaho engines for reporting, but what's the best one, the practical one ?
if you have experience with HTML/CSS, when webkit reports is the best way for you. HTML/CSS with Mako Template Engine are very powerful.
Thanks, I'm very experienced in HTML/CSS but I use RML and OpenOffice now, the problem is not I don't know that this concept HTML/CSS exist,
@tolstoj how do you get around webkit reports pagination causing report lines to be cut in half?
its pretty same as for printing webpages. i use JS to split tables
@tolstoj; you minimize the data to fit into the available page space?
I think it depends on :
It's like asking what is the best text editor for OpenERP. ?
We use aeroo and report_graphane for our project and instance. As my karma isn't enough to put url for details, I will change my answer as soon as my karma permit it.
Aero
report_graphane
I would like to look at your project. I believe your karma is large enough now to post your URL, but; if not perhaps you could post the URL as information that is obvious for the reader.
Ok, so for report_graphane module : https://github.com/0k/report_graphane For opengraphane server and doc on create document with : http://www.callidoc.com/pages/OpenGraphane/OpenGraphane.html
If you have question need, I can send you a Referentiel graphane with some doc we use in OpenERP and some report_action we have. What is your need ?
Short description:
OpenGraphane need XML data Flow in input and create pdf, odt, html, email in output. report_graphane module use mako to create XML data flow that is send to OpenGraphane and return a pdf or odt like base_report do. I will record a video soon for this.
I am interested in moving away from webkit reports if there is no answer to the pagination broken line problem. Aeroo seems the next best choice so I might be interested in simple complete modules that implement Aeroo so my time to turn on a functional "Hi World" Aeroo report in one of my own projects is minimal.
Ok, Aeroo is différent from report_graphane, but module exist anyway. I use both so fell free to ask if you have some problem.

1. Use the live chat to ask your questions.
2. The operator answers within a few minutes.
This question about 'best' is completely vague, maybe you should ask what are the pros and cons of each report engines? Or ask for a more specific need.
For the moment I want the PDF output, but in the long term I need Excel file output, and if there are the possibility of using templates of the both will be nice, Thanks
You how to take report on a custom module. Please explain the step by step method of the report creation. It will be more helpful to me. Thanks in advance
