Re: Style attribute not workin in CF8 CFChart?

[slli...@shayna.com slli...@shayna.com]

Just in case anyone else has this problem in the future and finds this via a 
search, I managed to fix it.

I went ahead and moved the xml stylesheet out of the cfsavecontentvariable 
and into a xml file in the same directory.  I then called the xml file via the 
style attribute.

cfchart style=pie.xml  

This solved the issue on my test server.  Why it solved the issue I have no 
idea, but its working now.

Style attribute not workin in CF8 CFChart?

[slli...@shayna.com slli...@shayna.com]

Okay, this is a wierd one.


I am currently working on applying an xml style set to a cfchart tag using 
the style= attributes. Locally, this works fine, however when I port the 
chart to the testing server, it breaks with the error, The chart type 
specified in the style is not a supported ColdFusion chart type.  If I comment 
out the style attribute, cfchart works on that server (without all my careful 
styling of course).  I've tried just putting in an empty style, a one line 
style.  It doesn't matter, it still breaks.


I don't have any control over the testing server, however I have been able to 
figure out a few things.

1) Both my local dev environment and the testing server are running CF 8 
Version 8,0,1,195765.


2) The test environment has some things locked out of it, specifically it 
doesn't have a virtual directory to CFIDE (tho I was able to work with the 
server admin and put one in for testing purposes which didn't help). 


3)The ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cftags\META-INF\taglib.cfld on the testing 
server has the cfchart style attribute implemented the same as on my local dev 
environment.


Any ideas? Any places I should be looking? I'm stumped and would love to get my 
clients off the 10 year old Java Graphing program they are currently using if 
possible.
