Dashboard element block ############################## the dashboard element bloc is of use with flexible Moodle page formats allowing free setup of the page layout using blocks. It implements a "dashboard element" capable to plot and render in many graphic output formats any result of a complex query presented to the Moodle database (or an eventual external PostGre schema). Given a full query, the dashboard block mashes up : - Data table output + Linear (records) data table + Tabular (cross dimension) tables + Treeview (on hierarchical mapped results) - Graphic plotting using JQPlot + Line graphs + Bar graphs + Pie graphs + Donuts graphs - Geographic plotting (using GoogleMaps API) + Google Maps + query data plotting + Possibility to change icons and plor mutiple class data using course files + Geocoding requests to Google handled (up to 2500 per day) with static long term caching => Will evolve - Time special plotting : Integrating SIMILE Timeline plugin + Plot on a timeline plugin of "instant" and "time duration" events + possibility of setting up color classes for events + possibility to customize "instant" pin icons from course files => Will evolve - Data output additional features + Data output formatting (using sprintf formatting) + Filters (selecting output or query fields for filtering) + Summators : displaying computed sums of output fields + Cumulative mode : Produces cumulative sum of a field without extra query + Data colouring and marking (on tables) using comparison formulas (ex: %% == 0 ) + Mappable Labels for ALL query field names - Performance features + Result caching (programmable retension delay) + Croned refresh of cache + Instance adjustable refresh mode or global cron settings # Install ######### 1. Deploy the block in Moodle/blocks as usual 2. Activate notifications to install the data model 3. Create a course, better a flexipage or paged format course if available 4. Add a Dashboard block and write a query 5. Define output fields, output modes, output labels... and discover features.... # Library locations ######################################## Libraries will work from inside the block dashboard. A further version might propose to move them into a "shared libs framework" local plugin for code packaging optimisation. # Install additive for running timelines ######################################## Timeline needs to be post page loading activaed. We got some issue to stack onload events on body element. The solution is till now to add a late call to initialisation in footer : Add this statement : if (function_exists('timeline_initialize')) timeline_initialize(); As latest possible statement in footer. Enjoy nice plotting...
