Sonar periodic email reports

Question

Is it possible to have Sonar sending periodic (To be more specific, weekly) reports by email? I need to have it analyzing as there are new builds, but report only weekly. Currently i'm running sonar as a jenkins plugin set to analyze whether there is a new build.

I'm not sure if this is the report that you want to use but this is the way we have been using to test the report before looking at the commercial edition that has an email feature. We have been using the Sonar PDF Plugin at: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/PDF+Plugin

This generates a report of the metrics, violations, other details, and then puts these into a pdf which is generated after a sonar analysis. This pdf is located at a static link such as: SonarServer:9000/api/plugins/Pdfreport/getReport?resource=3955 You can then use Jenkins to send a weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc email with this link attached. It is a workaround to getting out metrics less often.
