Creating Links to Reports in Web Pages

There are several options for creating links to reportico reports.

Firstly you may want to link to Reportico in a new browser/tab or you might want to load the Reportico in a popup window from an ajax call.

You can create a link to a report :-

echo CHtml::link('Run Sales Totals Report', array('reportico/mode/execute', 
                                            'project' => 'northwind', 
                                            'report' => 'salestotals.xml'),
                                            array('target' => '_blank'));

Remove the wrapping ( Partial Render )

Note that the above shows Reportico in a new browser page, but with the output embedded in your site wrapping. To run Reportico in a partial mode so it only shows the output without the wrapping, add the url parameter "partialReportico=1" as follows

echo CHtml::link('Run Sales Totals Report', array('reportico/mode/execute', 
                                            'project' => 'northwind', 
                                            'report' => 'salestotals.xml'
                                            'partialReportico' => '1'
                                            ),
                                            array('target' => '_blank'));
