Asantoya – This example is over 4 years old 🙂 A lot has changed with rails. The old way to start the webrick server was to use ./script/server, it’s now rails s.

How do you have the plugin installed and are you using the latest from github? Need to make sure the init.rb file is being run.

Hi,
Thank you for the great post.
I’m new to ROR. I need to provide a dashboard for a project. I installed the plug in and provide a controller named “dashboard”. here is the code in the controller:
==========Code in the Controller==========================
class DashboardController chart.to_s
end
end
==============================================

here is the code in the view which is named “dashboard_visits.html”:

========== Code in view page “dashboard_visits.html”==============

role:

=====================================================
but in the webpage I’m getting this line without any chart!!!

dashboard_visits

role: ALFP staff

swfobject.embedSWF(“/open-flash-chart.swf”, “flash_content_bQv0Ai8x”, “600”, “300”, “9.0.0”, “expressInstall.swf”,{“data-file”:”%2Fdashboard%2Fgraph_code”});

would you please help me to fix it!

Hi, Thanks for the plugin.

I managed to get the barchart example working. But i cannot seem to get any of the other examples working.

I dont have a massive knowledge of RoR, the error message im on the page that is meant to be displaying the json.

uninitialized constant Graph

Which is assume is the controller not being able to find the function. What would i do to correct this?

I am also seeing the error that both Jeremy and David are getting.

I believe its because in Rails 3, the strings are HTML encoded by default. So, I change the line in the view from:

Well, this only parially works as the url parameter in open_flash_chart_object() is encoded as well. I’ve tried to get around it using raw, but to no avail.

Anyone figure this out?
