Great solution breitsch, I will use this one too for something I'm thinking about.
Thanks

Hi erich.

Should be possible to integrate the ExData Mod with the PHP/SWF charts?

http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php

In the "Chart data" section there is a little tutorial for using the external data (at the bottom with MySQL)
http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php?me ... Chart_Data

Would be a nice feature to obtain flash chart with ExData.

Yes, it is possible.
See example here: http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?id=16,10,0,0,1,0#top

I made a replacementtag to include the data from ExData in flash charts:

{EXDCHARTS:[categoryID]:[field_rows]:[field_columns]:[field_values]:[layout]}
categoryID = the ID of the category in ExData
field_rows = the field containing the data for the rowtitles
field_columns = the field containing the data for the columntitles
field_values = the field containing the values
layout = the layout-type from FlashCharts: http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php?menu=Gallery

it considers the hide/show functionality in ExData
what do you think? Other reguirements?[/b]

Ops, I'm sorry, I'm a little confused among this thread and the one about the Teaser_Ex

You're my god!!!

Thank breitsch, really.
This one is a great improvement for me, I think is great!
Another great opportunity would be the rearrange the value of the charts in function of the data sorting.
For example if I want to sort a month temperature, to have a different chart if I choose May instead of June, but I can't ask too much to you

Anyway, I can use this replacement tag with the ExData MOD 2.2 version?
Because seems that had no effects for me, maybe I must put some path to PHP/SWF script?

OK, I've done this as well. Now you can filter the data (frontend) with a 4th field!

Not so quick! The version 2.2 is theoretically still Beta!
I will NOT publish the installation of FlashCharts, except on PM-requests.
FlashCharts will be integrated in next ExData version v2.3

Great breitsch, thanks a lot, really!
I will wait until the ExData version v2.3, but I am very impatient and curious to try it

New Version 2.3 is out!
See first post in this thread.

Holy $h!t !!! Just when you don't think an extension can get any better, you run off and implement Flash charts! I can't wait to find a situation where I can use these. Amazing work, breitsch!

breitsch · Post by **breitsch** » Mon 17. Apr 2006, 10:12

I'm happy to hear comments like that!

Just one little bug I found:
in FlashChart RT-Maker, Section Layout, in Help Text it says to replace space in layoutdescription with a _ (underline) - that seems to be wrong!!!

In one of my installations it only works with space.

So, the first 5 downloaders (sustia and 4 unknowns) have to change the Help-Text to not confuse themselves. It can be done in language-files:
mod_exdata/inc_lang/backend/en/lang.inc.php (and in 'de' for german)
look for the entry: $BL['be_exdata']['forms']['rtcharts']['expl5']

would be nice to hear from the 4 unknowns so I can remove this post afterwards!

Hi breitsch, now it works perfectly, it's amazing, and I'm update the file of the language

http://noria.ba.cnr.it/index.php?id=53,70,0,0,1,0

One nice feature would be to choose the "template" to use for a single chart.

For example, I,ve seen that all the changes must have done in this file:
sample_standard.php

So if a want a border, or the axis or, for example, this effect (on left side)
http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php?me ... _3D_Column

all the charts will be influenced by the same behavior.
Is not possible to personalize this like, for example, what we do for the CSS files?

the request of sustia for multiple templates for FlashCharts on one site is solved.
If you are intereted as well please PM me, I can give you the tutorial.
However it will be in next version.

I do found some bugs in Ver. 2.30
I solved them and posted a bugfix in download-section (see first post here).
The actual version there is 2.31

It solves the following 3 bugs:

1) (ONLY in new installations NOT in Updates)
Unable to save new templates, when you try to save a new template it will show an error like this (backend):

Code: Select all

Error Adding Template: Unknown column 't_txt_sort' in 'field list'

2) Line Breaks in Textarea-Fields are now shown in frontend

3) Help-Text for RT-Maker in FlashChart Section updated

Just in case, it's a minor bug:
If you get an error in frontend like:

Warning: file_get_contents(...

go to template section in backend and click on css-definitions for the corresponding template. This link has to be clicked at least once before you can use the template frontend!

Hi,

I like this mod very much. Do you plan to implement some kind of frontend search? So that users may search trough the data and get only a few datasets?
If not, I would like to work on that feature if you have nothing against that.

breitsch I've activeted the moo.fx section, but I receive an error at the moment to create a RT, because I don't see the page correctly
