With reports API you can generate a link or button, depending on the classes that you are using, that will allow users to report an item.

Report modal.

API example

jimport('oniscore.report'); //import reports libraries

$reportsHTML  = onisReport::report((int)$petition->id, 'petition', 'btn btn-xs btn-default', false, CCOMPONENT);

Generate the HTML code:

onisReport::report($itemid, $item, $class = NULL, $title = TRUE, $component);

• $itemid - unique, numerical item id;
• $item - unique item name;
• $class - css classes for the button;
• $title - if true, show button title;
• $component - component name;

You can change HTML code here:

components/component_name/templates/default/report.mod.php

When reporting an item, users have the option to write the reason why they are reporting the item.
