CiviCRM – Creating a Custom Report

One of my current projects involves developing and deploying a new membership/contact database and management information system for a large not-for-profit organisation. Having examined various off-the-shelf systems, including HighRise, the decision was made to go with a customised build of CiviCRM instead.

I’m quite familiar with Drupal (the backend framework on which CiviCRM sits), but I hadn’t  got any particular experience with CiviCRM itself. I have to say that, out-of-the-box, Drupal + CiviCRM is an amazingly powerful combination, and it allowed me to build a prototype demonstrating most of the major functions (including importing their existing dataset from a variety of messy Excel spreadsheets) using the built-in options in just a few weeks. However (and, in accordance with the Pareto principle), the last 20% or so of their requirements have taken a little bit longer to fulfil…

Many of these requirements involve developing custom reports. Or, to use specific CiviCRM-speak, developing reports based on custom report templates – i.e. a report based on a customised set of data (customising an existing report by altering say, display fields, filtering or grouping options that are already exposed in the underlying template is easy).

The process for creating a customised report template – a whole new type of report – is as follows:

1. Firstly, ensure that you have configured CiviCRM directory paths for both Custom Templates and Custom PHP. These can be set at Administer –> Configure –> Global Settings –> Directories. I set my paths to point at /sites/default/files/civicrm/custom_templates and /sites/default/files/civicrm/custom_php , respectively.

2. Within the specified custom directories, I then created a directory structure that matched the location of the CiviCRM built-in reports in the modulescivicrm directory. So, for example, I created a directory structure that looked like:

sitesdefaultfilescivicrmcustom_templatesCRMReportForm

sitesdefaultfilescivicrmcustom_phpCRMReportForm

3. The next step is to create the template file. To create a new standard report, the only thing this template needs to contain is a reference to the standard CiviCRM report form, as follows:
{include file="CRM/Report/Form.tpl"}
That’s it. Save the file in the sitesdefaultfilescivicrmcustom_templatesCRMReportForm directory with a suitable name (the report I’m creating in this case is called TargetActivity.tpl).

4. Next, create the PHP file. This file contains a class that extends the default CRM_Report_Form class, and specifies the query that should be run to populate the report, the columns to display, group by, and sort, for example. The report I’m creating in this case is a target activity report – in other words it shows a list of recent activity (phones calls, emails, letters etc.) together with the target of that activity – who the person being contacted was (the built-in CiviCRM report focusses on the source contact – the person who initiated the phone call, not the target contact). The PHP file I used for this custom report was based on the default Activity.php file, modified as follows:

Name the file with the same name as the template file, and save it in the corresponding location in the custom_php directory. In my case, I saved the file as sitesdefaultfilescivicrmcustom_phpCRMReportFormTargetActivity.php

5. Now that the necessary PHP and Template files have been created, the report can be registered using the CiviCRM interface. Go to Administer –> CiviReport –> Manage Templates and click on Register New Report Template. Name and describe your report, and make sure you supply the correct classname as you defined in the PHP file above. I completed the values as below:

6. Now that the new report template has been registered, you can create individual reports based on that template as usual, by going to Reports –> Create Report from Template. Individual reports based on the template can be added to the navigation dashboard alongside default CiviCRM reports:
