Extending the available formats in e-mail reports

HerbstO · June 11, 2020, 7:17am

Hello,

currently, you can have e-mail reports created and sent to you in the formats “HTML”, “PDF” and “CSV”.
Is there a possibility to extend the existing formats in order to have a report sent to you e.g. as “TSV”?

Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,

A good question. I don’t see any reason why it should not work.

If you have a lot of luck, just adding TSV here should be enough:

github.com

matomo-org/matomo/blob/0834bbdbc6916ffbfeb62b92eaeeb6be76c5d260/plugins/ScheduledReports/ScheduledReports.php#L64-L68


private static $managedReportFormats = array(
    ReportRenderer::HTML_FORMAT => 'plugins/Morpheus/images/html_icon.png',
    ReportRenderer::PDF_FORMAT  => 'plugins/Morpheus/icons/dist/plugins/pdf.png',
    ReportRenderer::CSV_FORMAT  => 'plugins/Morpheus/images/export.png',
);

but you might also need to look for other occurrences of csv* in the ScheduledReports to get it to work.

Hello Lukas,

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it didn’t help. As soon as you enter this, Matomo reports an error and you can’t login anymore.
I have searched for more entries, but unfortunately I did not find anything. Except in some language files.

regards
