Using Admin Search for customer Reports (How to add accessories to list)

[bfchris]

Hi:

I'm hoping to use the "search reservations" in admin to use this as a reporting tool for my client. CSV is fine with them, as that's what they are currently doing.
Here's what we have so far:

"reservation id","member id","schedule title","first name","last name","resource name","start date","end date","created time","modified time","start time","end time","total reservation time"

I'd like to add accessories to the .csv and/or HTML output. How do I do that? More specifically, additional resources..which I've renamed in the lang files.

Also, it'd be very helpful if it's even possible to be able to select by accessory when you're choosing your search parameters..doable?

Thanks in advance.

The accessories is a bit harder since there are multiple per reservation.  I'm not really sure how to most optimally get this data in the search results.  You may be able to essentially re-run your search but only pull back the accessories grouped by reservation.  Then you'd have to essentially do a lookup for each result row and display the accessories.  It's not impossible, it's just difficult.

Is this something you'd be interested in tackling for a fee of course?

I'd love to, unfortunately I just don't have the time right now.  I'm really pushing hard to get 2.0 out.  After that, these kinds of changes should be easier.

Do you know of anyone who may? I really have to get this wrapped for my client.

I don't know of anyone.  If you want to shoot me an email or private message with the details of the changes you're looking for I can give you an idea of timeline/cost for me to crank it out for you.  My email is nkorbel at gmail dot com
