Welcome to OpenFlashChart2Widget Demo

OpenFlashChart2Widget is a small widget, that allows you to include OpenFlashChart2 charts in your website and was inspired by cr0t's yiiopenflashchart extension. But instead of utilizing components and providing a whole new API, this extension is meant to be used as a widget, which is configured with an object created by the OpenFlashChart2 PHP language binding.

In order to make OpenFlashChart2Widget working with your application, follow these steps:

1. Copy the folder "OpenFlashChart2Widget" to your application's extension directory (I'll assume application.extensions). So your folder structure should now look like this:
   • ...
   • protected
     • ...
     • extensions
       • ...
       • OpenFlashChart2Widget
         • open-flash-chart-2-Lug-Wyrm-Charmer
         • swfobject
         • OpenFlashChart2Loader.php
         • OpenFlashChart2Widget.js
         • OpenFlashChart2Widget.php
       • ...
     • ...
   • ...
2. Configure your application to find OpenFlashChart2Loader class (protected/config/main.php):

       // This is the main Web application configuration. Any writable
       // CWebApplication properties can be configured here.
       return array(
    
         // some stuff
    
         // autoloading model and component classes
         'import'=>array(
           'application.models.*',
           'application.components.*',
    
           // this is the interesting one...
           'application.extensions.OpenFlashChart2Widget.OpenFlashChart2Loader',
         ),
    
         // some more stuff
    
       );

3. Before you create an OpenFlashChart2 object (which will later be passed to out widget), call OpenFlashChart2Loader::load(). This will prepare the OpenFlashChart2 PHP language binding and publish and register needed assets.

       class MyController extends Controller
       {
    
         public function actionChartRelated()
         {
           // ensure everything gets properly initialized
           OpenFlashChart2Loader::load();
           
           // fetch/generate a chart object
           $chart = ...
    
           $this->render('chartRelated', array(
             'chart' => $chart
           ));
         }
       }

4. Use the widget in one of your views:

       $this->widget(
         'application.extensions.OpenFlashChart2Widget.OpenFlashChart2Widget',
         array(
           'chart' => $chart,  // this is an object created using OpenFlashChart2's
                               // PHP language binding.
           'width' => '100%',
         )
       );
