amcharts support

By the way, when I try to change in PHP some code so as to try to get amcharts, I get "You need to upgrade your Flash Player" message...but I have the lastest verions (and with another one, older, same message), which is more related to this module.

The displaying is not a problem coming for this module : it just has not been enabled in Views Chart. It is the same for the line support of openfhash that is normally available (see #563682: Openflash Line support and amchart support).

For example, if in the file views_plugin_chart_graph of the Views module you write (line 75) '#options' => array('open-flash' => t('Open Flash'),'amcharts' => t('amcharts')), instead of just array('open-flash' => t('Open Flash')),, you'll see the amchart line. The thing being that the option should be updated (a dynamic form should be implemented, as the 'bar' OpenFlash is actually 'column' in amchart, etc.).

But when using it I see (Your need to upgrade your Flash Player) : so Views Chart did not pass the right arguments. I'll try to dig a bit into this, but some help from the maintainer would be a plus... Any help is welcome!

edit : okay, it begins to work a bit. I'll post later on my discoveries.;)

Actually it works (dont know why I did not suceed) if you have the files in the right directory.

The thing is that the features are defined directly in the module and are quite basic which means you don't have any of the nice effect you are waiting for while installing amcharts. Things need to be done again. I'll work on this next week, and post those interested updated. Any help is appeciated of course.

I did some testing (but with a quite dirty code : it just works but needs to be really improved an cleaned) that could interest you :
I changed the way $settings is defined :

title!='Page') {
$settings=str_replace('TITRE', '<![CDATA[<b>'.$this->title.'</b>]]>', $settings);
}
else
{
$settings=str_replace('TITRE', '', $settings);
}
if ($this->y_legend!='') {
$settings=str_replace('YAXIS', '<![CDATA[<b>'.$this->y_legend.'</b>]]>', $settings);
}
else
{
$settings=str_replace('YAXIS', '', $settings);
}
if ($this->colour!='') {
$settings=str_replace('COLOR', $this->colour, $settings);
}
else
{
$settings=str_replace('TITRE', '', $settings);
}

Having a text file like this :
<settings><colors>CC0000,FF6600,FCD202,B0DE09,0D8ECF,2A0CD0,CD0D74,CC0000,00CC00,0000CC,DDDDDD,999999,333333,990000</colors><background><alpha>100</alpha><border_alpha>20</border_alpha></background><grid><category><dashed>1</dashed></category><value><dashed>1</dashed></value></grid><axes><category><width>1</width><color>E7E7E7</color></category><value><width>1</width><color>E7E7E7</color></value></axes><values><value><min>0</min></value></values><depth>15</depth><column><width>85</width><balloon_text>{title}: {value} downloads</balloon_text><grow_time>3</grow_time></column><graphs><graph gid='0'><title>Stock</title><color>ADD981</color></graph><graph gid='1'><title>Column</title><color>7F8DA9</color></graph><graph gid='2'><title>Line</title><color>FEC514</color></graph></graphs><labels><label lid='0'><text>TITRE</text><y>18</y><text_color>000000</text_color><text_size>15</text_size><align>center</align></label><label lid='1'><text>YAXIS</text><y>!50</y><text_color>000000</text_color><text_size>12</text_size><rotate>true</rotate><align>center</align></label></labels></settings>

Which is basically the code from http://extra.amcharts.com/editor/column/, having just changed and put TITLE, Y-AXIS. I did not found any feature to be able to set the beginning Y axis in amcharts.

The other possible settings can be found here : http://www.amcharts.com/docs/v.1/bundle/settings/column_bar.

So, as the module creator will work on this (and I am quite busy), I won't work more on the module unlesse irakli wants a hand from me.

If anyone wants a basic version of the module that works with amcharts, you can do the changes proposed above + change views charts (more precisely views_plugin_style_chart.inc) like that (like 75 or so) :
'#options' => array('open-flash' => t('Open Flash'),'amcharts' => t('amcharts')),
Note that bar_3D won't work for amcharts

If asked I'll upload here a zip with my own version (it is not really clean coding, but it works and amchats is fully configurable with the editor).
