Hi,
is it possible to create new report builder source? in Moodle Workplace developer can create report source but how about Moodle?
Hi Eimantas,
Yes, it is possible to create report builder sources in the new Report Builder in LMS. Here you have the documentation for the new Report Builder https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Report_builder_API.
We are still in the process of adding the "Custom reports" section, but the process of adding new sources is very similar to the way it is in Moodle Workplace.

Hi David,
I've browsed through the Report builder API documentation, but I couldn't find any info on where to put your own source. My assumption would be: extend the correct report class (e.g. system_report) and put the code in file named after your own class, and put that file a local plugin. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Onno

maybe it might help to see an example in a plugin?
Entity file:
https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/blob/MOODLE_401_STABLE/classes/local/entities/attendance.php
Reportsource using that entity:
https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/blob/MOODLE_401_STABLE/classes/reportbuilder/datasource/attendance.php
those 2 classes (plus the language strings used in the new files) are the only things you need to create a new custom report.
basically your entities go in your plugin under classes/local/entities and your reportbuilder datasource goes in the classes/reportbuilder/datasource/ folder in your plugin.
