Custom Reports with Table Wizard and Ubercart

Submitted by jrowny on Fri, 01/08/2010 - 15:04

I've had a few people request custom reports that Ubercart does not have built in. Fortunately, thanks to the Table Wizard module, it's not hard to create them!

Required Modules:

  • Ubercart
  • Table Wizard
  • Views
  • Schema (required by Table Wizard)
  • Views Bonus (for Excel output)
  • Views Calc (to do calculations on views)

Step 1
Install and enable the required modules. If you're not familiar with how to do this, you should probably start with some more basic Drupal tutorials.

Making a case against using your theme for functionality

Submitted by jrowny on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 14:21

As I'm teaching some friends the basics of Drupal I see a common mistake, putting too much functionality into the theme. The real problem with this is simple: the site's look and feel may change with or without the site's functionality. If you're using a custom theme, it's tempting to throw functionality right into page.tpl.php and call it a day. But you're setting yourself up for headaches. Trust me, I know from experience.

Launched a new version of Raderwerks last night on top of a Drupal/Ubercart platform. Go get yourself some wheels!

new site done

They're still adding content, so it's kind of bare at the moment, but I just launched a new site for DubAudi. This is a good example of PNG sprites.
