Reporting

Probably a feature request, but I need to report paid members on a regular (monthly) basis to a third party.

I might also have to load members into my accounting software (I am fighting that, though).

Therefore, I need to create a report showing who has joined, by subscription type, whether they are new or a renewal, etc, in a given time period and then export the report, ideally to csv or excel. I will need to show a number of fields - name, join date, address, other...

Looking at other posts, it looks like this isn't possible.

I want to make this as easy as possible, so do not want to start juggling with phpadmin or other third party packages.

Any thoughts?

We don't have anything for that. You'll need to look into various reporting extensions at Joomla.org. You could also use phpmyadmin and query your database directly then export as CSV.

Can improved reporting be added as a new feature request?????

A plugin to handle reports is planned in the future once core CB has export/import features. Basically it's not coming anytime soon so you need to find an acceptable solution for the time being.
