I've written a new "Custom Reports" addition for Koha to allow Koha users to trade more complicated reports that cannot be represented in pure SQL. Here's how it works:
It's an interesting notion, albeit one that I think should be targeted for 3.4. The mechanism will be a bit risky, though; since the krz files can contain arbitrary Perl, they can do *anything* to a Koha database. In a sense, what you're proposing amounts to a general-purpose plugin system for Koha, with all of the benefits and security risks thereof.
The report.ini file looks something like this: name=Access PA author=Kyle M Hall description=A Report of the data necessary to fill out the Access PA report form. start=access_pa/step1.pl
I think another piece of metadata is needed - the minimum Koha version number required to run the report. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com
