ericb1 Report post Posted March 25, 2009 any help is greatly appreciated. I've got a chart working great inside an ASP page, this part is fine. Now I'm trying to call this from a DNN module via the sample dataURL method: <div id="chart1div"> This text is replaced by the chart. </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var chart1 = new FusionCharts("Funnel.swf", "ChId1", "600", "400", "0", "0"); chart1.setDataURL("Data.asp"); chart1.render("chart1div"); </script> but nothing is happening here. What should the "Data.asp" page output look like? Just standard XML? Any help is appreciated, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rahul Kumar Report post Posted March 26, 2009 Hi, Could you please embed the chart using HTML <OBJECT> tag and try once? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericb1 Report post Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks so much for the reply. Yes, the HTML embed method does work on the same page. Should I just use the HTML embed method? What's the difference, or do I lose anything functionality with this option? On my test ASP page, I have the following that does not work: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="./Charts/FusionCharts.js"> //You need to include the above JS file, if you intend to embed the chart using JavaScript. </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function FC_Rendered(DOMId){ //This method is called whenever a FusionCharts chart is loaded. //Check if it's the required chart using ID if (DOMId=="ChId1"){ //Invoke updateChart() method to update chart with new data updateChart(); } } function updateChart(){ //Get reference to chart object using Dom ID "ChId1" var chartObj = getChartFromId("ChId1"); //Update its XML Data URL chartObj.setDataURL("./test/aspXML.asp"); } </SCRIPT> <BODY> <div id="chart1div"> This text is replaced by the chart. </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var chart1 = new FusionCharts("./Charts/AngularGauge.swf", "ChId1", "600", "400", true,true); //Start Chart with empty data as we'll later update using JavaScript chart1.setDataXML("<chart></chart>"); chart1.render("chart1div"); </script> and then right below it, this, which does work: <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/ cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="400" height="200" id="MyFirstChart" > <param name="movie" value="./Charts/AngularGauge.swf" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="&dataURL=./test/aspXML.asp"> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="./Charts/AngularGauge.swf" flashVars="&dataURL=./test/aspXML.asp" quality="high" width="400" height="200" name="MyFirstChart" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Rahul Kumar Report post Posted March 27, 2009 Hi, Yes, you just need to use HTML embed method, since the previous method writes the javascript tag into the DIV which is not executing. Also, you won't loose any functionalities, if you need to update your chart dynamically then please pass a query string parameter "registerWithJS=1" in FlashVars attribue like below: E.g: <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="400" height="200" id="MyFirstChart" > <param name="movie" value="./Charts/AngularGauge.swf" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="&DOMId=MyFirstChart®isterWithJS=1&dataURL=./test/aspXML.asp"> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="./Charts/AngularGauge.swf" flashVars="&MyFirstChart®isterWithJS=1&dataURL=./test/aspXML.asp" quality="high" width="400" height="200" name="MyFirstChart" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> And need to change your chart id in updateChart function as follow: function updateChart(){ //Get reference to chart object using Dom ID "ChId1" var chartObj = getChartFromId("MyFirstChart"); //Update its XML Data URL chartObj.setDataURL( "./test/aspXML.asp"); } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COLOSSUS Report post Posted June 19, 2009 Rick, In my experience with DNN and FusionCharts, I found that the calling path was the problem that prevented the chart from rendering. Here's how I fixed it to make it work well with other portals: Firstly, my examples are in C# and I'm assuming that you are approaching this from a module programming standpoint. I am using the c# example "charting data from an array" from the documentation, so my solution will reference it. The first problem is that dnn does directories differently than other systems, so I place the FusionCharts folder with the js and flash files in the PORTAL root directory eg /portals/1/ this is essential for the rest to work. The dll still goes in the bin directory for the dnn application. Next, I had to tell the example code to look via the mapped path instead of ../. In the example code, find the line: return FusionCharts.RenderChart("../FusionCharts/FCF_Column3D.swf", "", strXML, "productSales", "600", "300", false, false); the path to the above swf won't work since it is in the PORTAL root now I handled it like this: string filepath = "http://" + PortalAlias.HTTPAlias + "/portals/" + PortalId.ToString() + "/FusionCharts/FCF_Column3D.swf"; return FusionCharts.RenderChart(filepath, "", strXML, "productSales", "600", "300", false, false); the above code will trace the existing portal path and find the elusive files. This is only step one. We need to do the same thing in the aspx file where the script tag lives Line in Example file: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="../FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js"></SCRIPT> Change: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="<%="http://" + PortalAlias.HTTPAlias + "/portals/" + PortalId.ToString() + "/FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js" %>"></SCRIPT> now the script will be found as well. In summary, DNN needs to know where to look to get files referenced in example code. I changed nothing other than these lines when I placed the CreateChart method into my existing module code. ALSO don't forget that if you are compiling c# with dnn, you will need to add the code directory to the web.config file to get it to compile. If you translate these concepts to VB there should be no issue. COLOSSUS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
