But this module does nothing for the end user by itself, so if you have it installed it’s probably because there is another module that depends on it.
This module is intended as a base engine for other modules to use it, so no direct result if you are a user.
To learn from an example, just check the sample module.
To develop with this module, you need to:
In case you want to create a custom report, the instructions remain the same as for HTML reports, and the method that you must override is also called _get_report_values, even when this time you are creating a XML report.
You can make your custom report inherit report_xml.xsd_checked_report, name it like your XML <template> id prepended by report., add a xsd() method that returns a XSD in a string, and have XSD automatic checking for free.
You can visit http://<server-address>/report/xml/<module.report_name>/<ids> to see your XML report online as a web page.
