Is this project supported (active or abandoned)?

PHP-Reports looks pretty good, but I'm wondering if I should use it at my company. The documentation/tutorial is a little sparse; I still haven't figured out how to generate two HTML reports with different layouts. Also, the forums at .io are not responding and I haven't seen any responses posted on this site since in several months.

Should I put time into this framework or find something else?

the koolreport are much more active but activity of a project are not synom of efficiency and security

gitea are more active rather than gogs, but are also more plenny of bugs and regressions!

so your point are poinlesss... @lkraav ok! also koolreport are very limited, for complete fetures you must buy so many modules

I just folked both projects (PHP Reports and KoolReport) and wonder which one should I choose. PHP Reports seems older but KoolReport is more active.

@mckaygerhard Do you think because of more people using gitea (very active) so more bugs are found, if gogs reaches the same level of activeness, more bugs of gogs will be discovered as well. Agree that activity of project is not the same as efficiency and security but no software is perfect (bugs could be everywhere, it is just that we have not found yet) and the activeness of project is a good signal that the project continues to evolve: bugs will be fixed if any, enhancements will be made and most importantly, questions are answered. Posting questions and receiving no feedback is so desperate :(.

I just look abit at koolreport, viewing their demo and try out their quick-start example, it works. The core framework is not limited as I thought at first, I must say it cover 70% of my need. Half of their extended packages are free, half are not. @lkraav Do you experience koolreport?

Thanks for gitea and gogs links, I didnt know about them, might be useful.

My comment wasn't meant to be taken personally. I put in hours of research into reporting engine frameworks, and currently KR seems to have come out on top, so we experiment with it first.
