What I want FusionCharts to do for me

[Starblaster1234]

Hey guys,

 

 

 

I've been reading the manual for about an hour now and I don't see any mention of how I could get it to do what I want it to do.

 

 

 

What I want it to do is pull columns from a SQL server (they can even be provided in CSV), translate them in XML (since it has to be in a certain format), then display them in a chart of my choice.

 

 

 

The catch is that I want the user to be able to do that from a form. I could develop the form, but I need it to do the rest automatically.

 

 

 

Is there something I'm missing?

 

 

 

Thanks

Hello ,

 

 

 

Welcome to the FusionCharts Forum. :hehe:

 

 

 

You need to provide your own code to connect to the CSV/SQL data base. Then, you need to convert the data to the XML format, specified by FusionCharts. You can then produce the chart of your choice.

 

 

 

Some examples are provided in our online documentation. They are as follows:

I hope this helps.

What I'm asking is, is there a way I could translate my CSV into XML automatically if I provide the CSV?

Hello,

 

 

 

I'm afraid FusionCharts doesn't provide a solution to this.

 

 

 

The XML has to be generated and then fed into the chart containing the data. The code for making this process automatic has to provided at your end. :Whistling:
