Description
I want a feature where i can retrieve node statistics or logs and other diverse reports graphs charts etc. So i am eagarly waiting for these to get completed.
Can you give any estimated time by which report creation features would be complete and your the module of great use to all.
#1
I'm currently still unsure of the best way to implement graphs. I want to keep it PHP/Drupal native, and I'm not aware of any tools that allow creation of decent images without bringing in 3rd party libraries.
Any suggestions welcomed!
I also want the report configuration interface to be built into the UI, but there's a problem here too. It's difficult to abstract SQL queries without eliminating a lot of power of SQL. Yet it's generally not a good idea to give any users direct SQL access. So I'm torn here too :)
#2
Have you considered Flash based charts? Everybody seems to be moving in that direction. I'll start the brainstorming with my personal favourite, though it's not open source - it is free for personal use:

Google Charts API.
