I love the simplicity of the Mingle reports but I would like to have a Google-o-meter type report to share with the Managers.
All they need is to see that the project is on track as they haven't the time to analysis data charts.
Q. Is there anyway to pass MSQL data out into other web services in a wiki page e.g
<pre><iframe src =http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=300x180&chf=bg,s,ffffff&cht=gom&chd=t:[[mingle_data]]&chl=Test&chco=ff0000,ff6600,ffff00,00ff00" width="100%" height="300"</iframe></pre>
or is there a better way to do this - via a SQL call to the database?
Any Ideas / suggestions
Can we have a new report type of 'Meter'
Using data from MSQL to post to web service

Hi Russell,
The "Writing your own macro" section of the Macro Development Toolkit Help (http://mingle-macros.rubyforge.org/) contains an example of creating a Google-o-meter report using MQL. The "completed_work" and "total_work" parameters in the example both expect MQL input.
I'll add a story to look into adding a standard "Meter" macro.
Cheers,
Jay
I've uploaded the Google-o-meter example to github. Details are here.
Good job Jay.
Missed that one
Works a treat!
Thanks
Russ
Jay,
Is it possible to call macro from inside another macro?
Rus
You can call another custom macro from inside another macro. For example, I created a macro that called the Mingle Sequence Diagram Macro to display a sequence of events. It's not possible at this point to call a built-in macro (pivot-table, value macro, etc.) from inside another macro.
