We would like to inform you of upcoming changes regarding the Configurable Reports plugin in Open LMS. Here are the key details:
Support Status:
- We will continue to maintain the Configurable Reports plugin for clients actively using it in Learnbook and Managed Hosting.
- However, please note that we will no longer assist in creating new reports within this plugin.
End-of-Support Timeline:
- The plugin will be phased out by July 2025, specifically for existing clients who are actively using it. No new installations will be permitted, and it is not available in other Open LMS products (EDU or WORK).
Why Is This Changing?
- The plugin isn't receiving regular updates or support from its maintainer; instead, it depends on community pull requests for bug fixes and improvements. Unfortunately, the latest updates introduced several significant new bugs.
- It poses potential security risks and compatibility issues with the current versions of EDU, WORK, and Managed Hosting.
Next Steps:
- We highly recommend switching to the Open Report Engine (ORE), which is under active development to meet a wide range of reporting needs.
- If ORE does not cover your requirements, please let us know so we can consider your feedback in our development process.
Alternative Options:
- In WORK, you can utilize the Ad Hoc Database Queries plugin for running SQL reports.
- In EDU, the Deferred Reports functionality allows you to schedule SQL reports in the background.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to enhance our products.
