I have a process I need to display in a flowchart on a page. The content owners would like the boxes to be clickable. I want them to be able to edit the flowchart in the future without having to make a new image for them each time. So, do you know of a module that would do such a fabulous thing? I didn't see anything when I searched.

Thanks!!

I use flowcharts extensively, and I know of no way to do this-- you'd need some way to integrate a web based drawing program with drupal.

You can use the images output by various flowcharting/drawing programs to make a 'clickable' image map however, which works quite well. To easily add interactive highlighting for the clickable regions you might want to try my http://drupal.org/project/jq_maphilight module.

Maestro module, is only a only "drupal module" solution that may come close to a kind of charting/flowchart module, but in any case, is not intuitive to use nor designed for this kind of task.

So, up to now, nothing really functional as a real flowchart editor in Drupal, but there are around many self hosted (and free) solution, I may suggesta couple of them: diagramo, wich is not perfect but it works for this task, and jgraph/drawio, which on the other hands come with dozen of features for a bounch of charting needs, the only cons, is compared to diagramo (completely selfhosted, so works also offline), drawio make request to external libraries, which can slow down or if you are in a intranet closed enviroment, block the execution of the application (I did not tested yet offline).
