I have added a video installation guide for SPJS Charts for SharePoint in the user manual: https://spjsblog.com/spjs-charts-for-sharepoint/spjs-charts-for-sharepoint-user-manual/

After some delays I have finally released SPJS Charts for SharePoint v6.1.0. this is a complete rewrite of the query and filter from v6.0.0 and adds much more flexible filter options and eases the setup as you no longer need to user Custom CAML when you want to use filters.

You find the change log here.

Please post any questions in the forum.

Best regards,
Alexander

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.

I have fixed the bugs reported in the previous BETA 1 version and updated to BETA 2. I believe most of the issues should be addressed now, but I need some more feedback to be certain it is ready for “production”.

You find the complete change log here, and please post questions and feedback in the forum.

Happy new year!

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.

After a long BETA, v 5.0.0 of SPJS Charts for SharePoint is finally out. There is still some work to be done in the user manual – I’ll update this shortly. In the meantime, please use the forum for any questions.
