Hi,

 

Could you please confirm the FusionCharts version you are using?

 

In case it is the latest version, i.e, FusionCharts v3.4, please note that currently, the charts can only be exported using the hosted FusionCharts Suite XT Export handler service. We intend to ship a self-hosted Export Handler module next quarter.

If you are using a previous version, please send us a scaled-down sample or the error that you are receiving.

 

Hope this helps.

Currently i am using v3.3.1 - Service Release 3 verison (Trial Version).
 
Down I am attaching my sample code and output image, and inside ExportHandler/PHP/index.php am defining below lines to  save charts into my server directory route.

 

define("SAVE_PATH", "./uploads/");

 

define("HTTP_URI", "http://emergingcitiez.com/uploads/");

 

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/fusioncharts/FusionCharts.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 //Callback handler method which is invoked 
 //after the chart has saved image on server.
 function FC_Exported(objRtn){ 
 if (objRtn.statusCode=="1"){
 alert("The chart was successfully saved on server. The file can be accessed from " + objRtn.fileName);
 }
 else{
 alert("The chart could not be saved on server.  There was an error. Description : " + objRtn.statusMessage);
 }
 }

Hi,

 

It seems like the folder where you are willing to save the exported image of the chart, does not exists, hence, it is throwing the error,

 

Also, we would suggest you to upgrade your current version to the latest to resolve these issues, as we are not working any further on the previous version.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

I tried to download the fusioncharts latest trial version, but its not giving me the complete code for all charts like previously it has given.

 

Please let me know how to upgrade to the latest version.

Hi,

 

The latest downloadable version of FusionCharts contains only the required JavaScript library files to be used to render charts. Since Flash charts has been deprecated, the folder structure has been modified. 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Please note that the latest version, i.e, FusionCharts v3.4 supports pure JavaScript charts and hence, server-side export is only possible.

 

But currently, the charts can only be exported using the hosted FusionCharts Suite XT Export handler service. We intend to ship a self-hosted Export Handler module next quarter.

Hi,

 

I am updated my PHP application with latest fusioncharts trial version 3.5. I am trying to export my javascript charts as png images to server directory. 

 

How to export multiple charts as images to server directory on single button click.

[Moonmi Sonowal]

Hi,

 

Please note that starting version 3.4.0, all charts are rendered as pure JavaScript charts and hence batch export or export of multiple charts at a time is not supported. Though you can use of PhantomJS for printing multiple charts.

 

Drobox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4ozonou3zycjj4/PhanthomJS.rar?dl=0

 

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API. It has fast and native support for various web standards.

Steps to follow to save the images of the chart without rendering in
the browser using PhantomJS:
 (1)Download the PhantomJS from http://phantomjs.org/download.html(choose your Operating System)
 (2)Extract the files into your application folder along with the other FusionCharts JavaScript files.
 (3)Copy savePDF.js attached along with this mail within the same folder.

 

 Now, to execute from a command line: phantomjs savePDF.js [--delay ]
 [--scale ] TheURLOfAnyDashboard outputFileName

Hope this helps.
