Hi, I'm attempting to create a basic widget from the documentation, my setup is as follows -

In the koolreports/widgets/mywidget folder

MyWidget.php

class MyWidget extends \koolreport\core\Widget
{
    protected $dataStore;
    public function onInit()
    {
        $this->dataStore = $this->params["dataStore"];
    }
    public function render()
    {
          $this->getAssetManager()->publish("my_widget_asset_folder");

        $this->template("MyWidget",array(
            "any_variable"=>$any_variable
        ));
    }
    static function create($params)
    {
        $widget = new MyWidget($params);
        $widget->render();
    }
}

MyWidget.tpl.php

echo $any_variable;

For the report itself

dataSource.php

require_once "../../../../koolreport/autoload.php";

use \koolreport\KoolReport;
use \koolreport\processes\Filter;
use \koolreport\processes\TimeBucket;
use \koolreport\processes\Group;
use \koolreport\processes\Limit;

class DataSource extends KoolReport
{
    public function settings()
    {
        return array(
            "dataSources"=>array(
                "celebrities_data"=>array(
                    "class"=>'\koolreport\datasources\ArrayDataSource',
                    "dataFormat"=>"associate",
                    "data"=>array(
                        array("customerName"=>"Johny Deep","dollar_sales"=>100),
                        array("customerName"=>"Angelina Jolie","dollar_sales"=>200),
                        array("customerName"=>"Brad Pitt","dollar_sales"=>200),
                        array("customerName"=>"Nocole Kidman","dollar_sales"=>100),
                    )
                ),
            )
        );
    }

    protected function setup()
    {
        $this->src('celebrities_data')
        ->pipe($this->dataStore('data'));
    }
}

dataSource.view.php

use \koolreport\widgets\mywidget\MyWidget;


MyWidget::create(array(
  "dataStore"=>$this->dataStore('data'),
      "any_variable"=>"value"
));

When I run the report I receive the following error -

"Warning: Declaration of MyWidget::create($params) should be compatible with koolreport\core\Widget::create($params, $return = false) in C:\xampp\htdocs\koolreport\koolreport\widgets\mywidget\MyWidget.php on line 3

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'koolreport\widgets\mywidget\MyWidget' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\koolreport\examples\reports\basic\dataSource\dataSource.view.php:12 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\koolreport\koolreport\KoolReport.php(303): include() #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\koolreport\examples\reports\basic\dataSource\index.php(18): koolreport\KoolReport->render() #2 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\koolreport\examples\reports\basic\dataSource\dataSource.view.php on line 12"

My guess is that I am not calling the widget correctly, but I am not exactly sure. Just trying to get a basic widget passing data to work. Any help much appreciated.

Hi thanks for the quick reply. I just want to make sure I have this right. In dataSource.view.php, I'd have the following?

MyWidget(array(
  "dataStore"=>$this->dataStore('data'),
      "any_variable"=>"value"
));

and I'd put -> namespace koolreport\widgets\mywidget; in MyWidget.php correct?

Hey thanks a lot for your help, after some messing with it got it to display the value I was sending. The company I work for is really interested in buying the full Koolreport as it should fit our reporting needs, I just wanted to make sure I could pass it json and create custom form templates and html layouts/widgets, and it's looking good. Thanks much!
