port to drupal 6 please

OK. I'll try to get the basic port done by the end of the week. The views stuff is a bit more complex, and will require a rewrite so that will take longer.

This could take a couple more weeks. When I started digging into this, I found that the best way to make this work good in 6 and work nicely with views2 was to use ahah forms. Unfortunately these take a fair bit of work to get going, and there are lots of form elements that need to be built.

Hi Aaron,

Hows it going with the Drupal 6 port? I'm evaluating Chart modules for Drupal 6 and wondering if this one is coming along.

Thanks,
Mark

I've got the API part complete but the GUI is still a little way off. I'm having a few problems getting everything working with AHAH. Views integration will come after the GUI (as it depends on it). It will probably be another week or two before I get a chance to do any more development work on it. If your only interested in the API part, I can put up a dev version for you to evaluate.

Thanks, I am keen to see the finished product rather than just the API, so don't worry for the moment.

I'm starting to move towards D6, now that CCK etc have been sorted, and it would be great to use this module too. Any more ideas about when it might be implemented?

I'm curious to test this as well.

You will see that I have put up a 6.x-dev copy.

I'm working through some bugs at the moment to do with the node creation form. I should be done soon.

Outstanding! Thanks aaron. I started working on a list of applications that I could use fusioncharts on, but when I opened D6 last week and started playing with views etc, I could see that it just has so much more potential...so I've had to start rewriting the list :D

Thanks again

When I tried installing I got the 'This version is incompatible with the 6.6 version of Drupal core.' message on the module page. Which version of D6 would be best to install it with so I can have a play about with it?

The incompatibility message is caused by the module info files (contrib/fusioncharts_system/fusioncharts_system.info, fusioncharts_test/fusioncharts_test.info, and fusioncharts.info) missing the square brackets after "dependencies", and using the "colorpicker" instead of "color" modules.

The incompatibility doesn't end there, though. The parameters passed to hook_form() implementations have changed -- $form_values is now $form_state['values'] and multi-step forms have to be done differently, to name a few of the changes.

Aaron, are you sure you committed all your local changes to the dev branch? If so, have you actually tested the version with 6? It doesn't work properly at all (unable to supply chart data). The hook_form() implementation needs to be re-written to account for all the things mentioned here: http://drupal.org/node/144132

I really would like to use this module, it looks very nice...

Hi,

Sorry, it appears I've done something wrong with the CVS. I've been away for the last couple of weeks and didn't notice that things were not right.

Attached is a zip of the 6.x snapshot which you are free to use until I get the CVS right.

Hrm, this version installs fine (except for the "Drupal System Charting" module), but when I try to create a new chart, there are issues. When the create chart node page opens, all options are available except for data input (different behavior than the v. 5 module). If I enter a title and select a chart type, the browser either hangs doing an AJAX request, or I get an alert message with the entire HTML of the page in it.

Any thoughts?

Hi aaron,

I've just tried the latest 6.x-1.x-dev version (Dec 16) and all seems to install OK, but when I try to create a fusionchart I'm getting 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function _fusioncharts_settings_subform() in /home/mysite/public_html/modules/fusioncharts/fusioncharts_node/fusioncharts_node.module on line 229'

I think I've installed it properly, but I'll have a look around and if see if there's anything missing

The drupal 6-dev version is getting stable now. The main part I have left is Views integration. There is a separate issue for that, so I'm going to mark this one as fixed

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
