[pending] Gantt Chart and jQuery

[Gorkom]

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

I am having trouble finding a solution & now wondering if what it's even possible. I need to display a Gantt Chart (like this example) in a SharePoint Web Part/Dashboard, using a SharePoint List as it's data source. The SharePoint list has three columns: Name, Start Date/Time & End Date/Time.

 

 

 

I've come across a few examples of how jQuery is used to achieve this with various FusionCharts, but nothing for FusionWidgets Gantt chart.

 

 

 

I am a End User/Site Administrator on the SharePoint site(if that makes any difference)

 

 

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

 

-Thank you,

Greetings,

 

 

 

As of now, we do not have a data-handler (dataFormat) for FusionCharts for jQuery that directly converts SharePoint lists to FusionCharts.

 

 

 

However, there are solutions from our users that goes ahead to some extend in solving this issue. You can have a look at http://www.fusioncharts.com/Showcase.asp#sharepoint to get further insights.

I found this tutorial on using Javascript to create a pie graph from a SharePoint List.

Is there a way to change the code to use the Gantt graph, instead of a pie chart?

Greetings,

 

 

 

You can modify the example code that you sent to render XML for Gantt chart instead of Pie chart. This is beyond the scope of immediate reply, but we are surely looking into developing a usable jQuery "pluginlet" for the same in some time to come.

 

 

 

We will keep you posted regarding the same.

Hey Gorkom,

 

We proudly announce the release of FusionCharts for SharePoint in beta. FusionCharts for SharePoint helps you create interactive & data-driven charts in SharePoint, without having to write a line of code. The charts are created using a wizard and can connect to various data sources such as SharePoint Lists, CSV, MS SQL, Oracle, Excel & BDC. You can add drill-down and export capabilities to each chart and configure both cosmetic and functional aspects.

 

 

You can download the fully-functional version from www.fusioncharts.com/sharepoint - we would love to have your feedback on this.
