links for categories?

[schulle877]

Hi!

 

I have a StackedBar3D chart. I want to use it for drilldown.

 

I can assign links to set elements using

 

$FC->addChartData($value,"link=www.web.de");

 

Is it possible to assign links to category elements, so that all stacked parts of the bar and even the category label is linked?

 

Code must be like

 

$FC->addCategory($categoryname,"link=www.web.de");

 

Or is there another possibility, except linking all stacked parts

 

Thank you.

Hi Sven,

I am afraid, FusionCharts supports the "link" attribute only in the <set> element, as of now.

Natively this is not possible. But there is a hack for this.

Please try providing the "link" as the string value for the attribute "label" in the <category> element which would in turn would let the category to behave a s a link.

Also, please try setting the attribute "isHTML" to '1' in the <styles> element to achieve what you intend to.

Ref.- <chart>

  <categories>

  <category label='<a href="test();">Jan <a/>' />

  ...

  </categories>

  <styles>

<definition>

  <style name='myLabelsFont' type='font' font='Arial' size='14' color='000066' bold='1' isHTML='1'/>

</definition>

  <application>

  <apply toObject='DataLabels' styles='myLabelsFont' />

  </application>

</styles>

  </chart>

Hope this helps.

Hello Sanjukta,

 

 

 

I am facing a very strange issue in using this method for creating links in categories. The links work fine if I set rotateNames='0' but do NOT work (are not clickable) when I enable rotateNames by using rotateNames='1' .

 

 

 

I am using Developer licence charts with ScrollLine2D.swf. The MD5 hash of the .swf file is 7F54C6FBDE4BA9C9E385F3F716E12ED7. This may help you in identifying the version number. However, the version.txt says:

 

 

 

FusionCharts v3.1

 

Release: 24th February 2009

 

 

 

Please help me out on this issue. The XML I am using is your example XML found in GalleryDataScrollLineData.xml with the modifications you stated here. The XML I am using is attached with the message.

 

 

 

The rotateNames='1' is the culprit here. Please let me know of any workarounds or if there is a update of .swf file available.

 

 

 

Kind regards,

ScrollLineData.xml
