Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: Speedometer Chart Control

    Phil/Steve:
    What ended up being the issue with FusionCharts not rendering once published. I'm running into the same issue. It all works on the development computer in live preview but I cannot get it to work on the server. To test out the basic installation of FusionCharts on the server, I've uploaded the FusionCharts sample chart with all static data and running in a plain jane html page. I have the sample chart html page saved in the A5webroot folder and it runs/displays just fine in a browser on the server. I'm running the code below in a Free-Form Container and using 2 session variables for the dynamic data.

    Steve:
    Thank you for your response earlier Steve.

    Here's the code I'm using:

    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<title>Punch Chart Priority 1</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fusioncharts.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fusioncharts.theme.fint.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  FusionCharts.ready(function(){
    var fusioncharts = new FusionCharts({
    type: 'doughnut2d',
    renderAt: 'chart-container',
    width: '250',
    height: '270',
    dataFormat: 'json',
    dataSource: {
        "chart": {
            "caption": "Priority 1",
            "exportEnabled": "1",
            "captionAlignment":"left",
            "pieRadius": "80",
            "doughnutRadius": "50",
            "paletteColors": "#00FF00,#CD3333",

            "showLegend": "1",
            "defaultCenterLabel": <%A5 ?session.a_PP1Total %>,
            "centerLabel": "Status- $label: $value",
            "centerLabelBold": "1",
            "showTooltip": "0",
            "decimals": "0",
            "useDataPlotColorForLabels": "0",
            "theme": "fint"
        },
        "data": [

         <%A5 ?session.a_PP1Data %>

        ]
    }
}
);
    fusioncharts.render();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="chart-container">Punch Priority 1 Chart</div>
</body>
</html>

      Re: Speedometer Chart Control

      1. Is this running in an .a5W page? It must in order to know what to do with the A5 tags. I presume it is if this works in live preview.

      2. Do you have security on your server, and is this page allowed?

      3. Where, in your server's directory, is the Fusioncharts.js file? It needs to be in the webroot, not any subdirectory.

      4. What does your session.a_PP1Data variable look like? Does it include the curly braces necessary for proper JSON? E.G.

      Code:
          "data": [
        {
            "label": "Food",
            "value": "285040"
        }
    ]
      Again, I presume this is correct if this is what you're using with success in live preview.

      5. Have you tried running it Chrome and looking to see if there are any error message in the console?

        Drew, have a look at RGraph.net. It's donation based and Alpha has built it into the pre-release of Version 12. It's excellent to have it built in for Version 12, but since it's all Javascript based, it's easily incorporated in other versions.

          Re: Speedometer Chart Control

          Thank you David and Steve. I got it working last night. Looks like I had two issues going on. I had security enabled but it didn't dawn on me initially to assign an 'allowed' security to the js files themselves just like you would a ux or cmp. Second, I had a UX with free-form containers holding the charts which works great in live preview. I was diplaying the UX in a tabbed UI which did not work great. Once I wrapped the UX in an A5W page and displayed that A5W page in the tabbed UI it all worked fine. Thanks again for your help!
