SPJS Charts for SharePoint v6.0.1 BETA 3

After BETA 2 where I made some major changes to how the filters where handle, I realized that I needed to make some more changes to the query part to let you use filters without the need to use a Custom CAML query.

I have therefore released a new BETA 3 that makes it easier to set up the filters. You can still use Custom CAML, but you don’t have to.

Unfortunately this change will require you to reconfigure any existing charts you have that uses filters. This is an easy fix that requires that you remove the CAML where you used {filter:key} to pick up the filters.

I recommend un-checking the “Use custom CAML” and use a list view in stead (selected in Basic setup).

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this change brings, but I’m sure it will make the setup easier an more straight forward for all that doesn’t “speak CAML”.

The user manual has been updated with the latest changes.

Please post any bugs, comments or suggestions in the forum.

SPJS Charts for SharePoint v6.0.1 BETA 1

SPJS Charts for SharePoint v6.0.1 BETA 1

  • Updated the filter methods to add cascading filters. See instructions in the “Custom CAML and filter” tab in the chart config, or the user manual.
  • Fixed a bug where “Show item count below chart” could not be turned off.
  • Fixed a bug with inserting charts in a WIKI page. The charts would be added, but was invisible when editing the page. I had to make the insertion of the charts a bit more manual in WIKI pages, so you must copy  a snippet from the “Add new chart” dialog, and embed it in the WIKI page using “Embed code”. If you need to remove an “invisible” chart added in a WIKI from previous version append “?contents=1” to the URL, and remove the charts from this view.
  • Fixed a bug with using “Consume filter from list view web part” in SharePoint 2013.
  • Added back the “Show filter info below chart” option after it got lost in the update to v5.

This is currently in BETA, and you find the files here. Please post any issues of feedback in the forum.

SPJS Charts for SharePoint v6

I have released v6.0.0  of SPJS Charts for SharePoint.

The reason for skipping to v6.0.0 for this release is that the loader has changed to ease the setup process. Unfortunately this version is NOT directly backwards compatible with v5.0.0.

This means that if you have v5 already installed, you must add v6 side-by-side and manually add new chart pages and import the “old” charts from v5.

Refer the updated user manual for details.

Please post any questions or comments in the forum.

I want to send a big thanks to Rudolf Vehring for help with testing the new version.
