Charts showing nid as value instead of value

I faced the same problem with Views integration. Developing a chart using Taxonomy Data also sends the 'tid' and not the value. I believe it is due to the use of $row->{$field->field_alias} which returns the value of the 'nid' or the 'tid' for the nodes and taxonomy terms respectively.
The only possible explanation I have arrived is views renames field aliases in $data field as it wants (applying filters, changing the exposed filter values etc.) , and should never be referred in the result directly. This should be changed.

There is a similar issue and ensuing solutions in Views (6.x) #361756: Updating views fields changes field alias names

+ 1. The same problem. There is a Pie but populated with NIDs instead of fields values.

+1 and in addition I am 100% sure I saw a case where (and am trying to replicate) the output were the labels. Then I did something and now I am getting only nid's.

@johnv I wrote inaccurately, somehow I had them show labels only, not the values of them.

There's a patch. Testing needs.

The patch has not solved my problem, unfortunately:

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in ...\www\sites\all\modules\chart\chart_views\views\chart_views_plugin_style_chart.inc on line $chart['#data'][$field->field_alias][] = (int) $row->{$object_key};

When I left for testing purpose only one string from patch $object_key = $field->aliases[$field->real_field]; (the other from patch I have commentar), I got following message:
Notice: Undefined index: ...

Thanks! Do you know the specific Views version, so it can be documented?

Hmm... There isn't a 2011-04-16 release for Views: http://drupal.org/node/38878/release

I found it. Added ::get_value() method to all fields to make it easier for systems like services that need to access raw field data. It should now be much more consistent. - http://drupal.org/node/1192186 for Views 7.x-3.0-rc1

Patch works for me.

Patch is worked for me - thanks Johnv

Patch works! Hope this gets integrated into the latest build. Thanks!

patch worked for me as well.
Thanks!

Patch needs to run from module root, not sub-module root. Works correctly otherwise. Committed to 7.x-1.x-dev. Thanks!

is patch in #10 supposed to work with views 7.x-3.3 and google charts 7.x-1.1?

I just ran the patch but I'm getting a blank page with only the title and no errors, whereas I had the correct pie chart with nid labels before.

to clarify the charts are being generated as the space is being filled out and the chart title and labels are also showing. However the chart itself is not there. Maybe something went wrong with the color scheme? Just a guess.

Any ideas? Anyone? I'm nearing launch date for my website and it would make a big difference if I had the charts included. Right now it's a no-go with the nid labels being shown instead of values.

Thanks in advance

mfoda, please use the dev version for now. There are many changes to dev.

I took your advice and installed the dev version. The new problem I have right now is that no matter what parameters I try with width and height the labels are cut off from the side and not showing completely. See attached picture.

Any ideas how to fix this?

sorry double post

I installed the dev version but I still get the same problem. The nid still appears for all the values in the chart.

Nevermind, was caching the old install, the dev version works.
