Problem with local files using "file" protocol for setDataURL

[tcraigen]

We are trying to link up files that live on mounted volumes.

 

The volumes are visible on the webserver. This is an internal server so we have no concern for security.

 

 

 

I am unable to get the graph to work if its pointing to the path on the volume.

 

I am, however, able to view XML the file no problem with the same command.

 

 

 

It looks like FusionCharts is using the WEB root path and not the file:/// path that I am giving it.

 

 

 

Do I need to format the string slightly different when passing a file:/// to the javascript function?

 

 

 

Here is what something like what I am trying to do.

 

 

 

function draw_chart(query,debug)

{

 var chart1 = new FusionCharts("/charts/MSLine.swf", "RTDynamicChart", "700", "600", debug, "0");

  query = "/data/FusionCharts/SampleFile.xml";

  //alert(query);

  chart1.setDataURL( escape( query) );

  //chart1.setDataURL( escape( "file://" + query) );

  if(debug) {	   

    document.write("View XML");

  }

    chart1.render("fusion_chart");

  }

Well, solved my own problem:

 

 

 

For python folks:

 

 

 

def printXML(file):

    fhand = open( file , 'r')

    print "".join(fhand.readlines())

    fhand.close()

 

 

 

Worked for me!!!
