Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Please note: the color changer field has been moved out of the "Fields" section and moved in to the "Display" section to be consistent across the views style plugin and the fields settings form. Running the database update will re-save any views so that the color changer field and its data are in the correct location within "Display".
This is a bugfix. If you experience any errors with a Views-based chart, please try to re-save your chart settings and view. If we get enough people reporting errors related to this, we can issue a new release with an update hook.
Lots of changes in this release. If you encounter any issues, I definitely recommend visiting your /admin/config/content/charts page and saving it. Also look at the README of your charting library submodule if you are having any issues (versions of most of the charting libraries have been updated, for example, and you may want to update your local library accordingly).
This release allows you to create a pie chart in Views using multiple fields as data providers. Make sure to select "No label field" for it to work. Also includes a PHP 8+ fix and some bugfixes around the libraries.
A few fixes. This version is very old and I encourage everyone to switch to the 5.0.x version as soon as possible...I will stop supporting this branch soon. The next release of 5.0.x brings back in an upgrade path from 8.x-3.x to 5.0.x.
This release aligns with Drupal’s new vision for empowering ambitious site builders. New features, such as providing libraries delivered by content delivery network (CDN) by default* and new ways of generating charts (such as chart fields), mean that any site builder can create charts as soon as the module (and at least one submodule) is enabled, without needing to write any code or be familiar with a charting provider API.
This is the first alpha release of what was 8.x-4.x and is now 5.0.x. Compatible with Drupal 8 and 9. More developer-friendly than version 8.x-3.x and actually much more similar to the 7.x version of Charts.
This release contains a number of bug fixes and new features. Please be careful to test this new version thoroughly before updating on your live site. A full list of closed issues follows:
This release includes fixes to all the bugs that had been reported for 8.x-3.x-dev.
A major update includes a method to overwrite the library classes. This basically gives developers the freedom to make any modifications allowed by the charting library's API, rather than being constrained to the standard options provided by the module. To facilitate this process, a starterkit module has been included, with documentation about how to use it.
Plus a number of style changes and improvements to how Chart Attachment chart types render on the parent display for charts_google and charts_c3.
The #greaterDC Slack channel will be sprinting on this module tonight, so you may want to hold off updating until after those edits are in and a new version is released.
This release moves the sub-module-specific code out from Charts and into the respective sub-modules. This will allow contributors to create their own sub-modules based on their preferred charting libraries without having to "hack" the core Charts module. It is also much easier now to use Charts without relying on Views. We will be releasing an example module to show how this can be accomplished.
This release of Charts module fixes a number of bugs found in the beta5 release. This release does not add any significant new features, but helps with several inconsistencies in the display and configuration of the module.
This release adds the new Display Type "Chart Add-on" that allows you to combine multiple displays of data into a single chart. This is similar to an "Attachment", but all the data gets merged together and displayed at once. For more information see #2052429: Make multiple series charts easier to create through Views and the addition to README.txt on combo charts.
This release correct several small-but-critical bugs, removes both FusionCharts and OpenFlashCharts (they will be included again in the future) and views integration.
Note: i would like to have extra maintainers to help on this. Im specially interested in implementing the Interactive Charts from Google and increase the number of features for all of the supported charts.
New features:
* Google Charts now have stacked bars (vertical and horizontal)
* Users might choose to display value labels and series legends
* Amazing GD Image library chart creator by Mads Peter Henderson
Improvements:
* The default chart settings' page slightly reorganized: multiple charts printed at once, some fieldsets and the new Label and Legend options
* Chart example generator now requires both type and title
* Both FusionCharts and OpenFlashCharts removed. Because they never worked correctly, its far better to add them later, with better implementations
* Remove the spedific views option Show Legend since its now possble to select it normally
* Google Charts now use the label/legend switch accordingly
* #716546 by tracerul: adding "alt" attribute in the img tag for Google Charts make some HTML validators calm down
* #261437: Documentation about Flash filef by brmassa
* A warning on hook_requirements when the PHP version is below 5.2
Bugs Fixed:
* Google pie charts now use the correct color scheme
