I am trying to produce an OrgChart with Views of one of my taxonomy vocabularies.
The question: is OrgChart supported to be used through Views? I haven't found much in the documentation.

I added 2 fields, the "term name" and the "parent-term name" (both aggregated - grouped). The result is some kind of chart, representing just the first term, two times.
From the attempts I have made, it looks like the table is somehow "transposed", so that I would need to invert "columns" and "rows", if it makes any sense (I am not a programmer at all).

It would be great to be able to get it to work... it's very promising!

Well, actually there is no support for orgChart with views at this time.
But I really like the idea of using the taxonomy hierarchy for building the data structure, and display it through views.
I will look in to it, and try to figure it out.
If you got further helpful information or ideas please share.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough to be helpful, but I can give you a couple of links to modules that do something similar.

The first a module to display taxonomy hierarchy trees with views:
http://drupal.org/project/views_tree

and the second is a thread where some code is posted to do orgcharts/views integrations, but I never got around to understand how to use it:
http://drupal.org/node/548854

I hope it helps.

Thanks for the links, I will test them.

I already pushed an Organizational Chart views support to the DEV branch.
http://drupalcode.org/project/google_chart_tools.git/commitdiff/43e8951d...

It will be great if you can give a try.
I added some instructions here:

It works! The result is very good! Instructions are very clear as well.

The only issue so far: the layout is not very clean: light blue lines extends beyond the cell area. Image attached.
In this example, I only used the first three mandatory fields.
Great work, and fast too!

Release 7.x-1.1 contains the new Views support to Organizational Chart.

Thanks!

The fix works!
I have another request: to enable nodes names to be linked to their content in the orgchart, the "allowHtml" tag should be set to TRUE, but I cannot find how to do it. Would it be dangerous to leave it true by default, or is it possible to have a switch somewhere?

Thanks again.

I don't see a problem to set the allowHtml always to true.
Pused to DEV.

If there a problem and there need to turn it off, we can use hook_draw_chart_alter() to do that.
We can also add checkbox in the views format setting form to turn it off/on.
