Chartable Behavior

2 : Example

By Alexander (alkemann)
This small behavior is something I made to make models easily work with the cool OpenFlashChart "vendor" (http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/) and the FlashChartHelper (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/open-flash-chart-helper-draw-charts-the-cake-way).

Model Class:

<?php class Transport extends AppModel

var $name = 'Transport';
var $actsAs = array('Chartable' => 
    array ( 'numberField' => 'count' , 'labelField' => 'date' ) );
?>

Controller Class:

<?php class TransportsController extends AppController

var $name = 'Transports';
var $helpers = array('FlashChart');
var $paginate = array('limit' => 10);

function chart() {
    $this->Transport->recursive = -1;
    $this->set('transports', $this->paginate());
}
?>

View Template:


<?php
$flashChart->begin('100%','500');


$flashChart->setLabels('x',$data['labels']); 

$flashChart->setData(array(
    'Apples' => array(
        'color' => '#330066',
        'data' => $data['numbers'],
        'graph_style' => 'bar_glass',
    ),
)); 

$flashChart->configureGrid( array(
    'x_axis' => array( 'legend' => 'Date' ), 
    'y_axis' => array( 'legend' => '#Apples' ) 
)); 

$flashChart->setRange('y', 0, 1000);

echo $flashChart->render();
?>
<div class="paging">
    <?php echo $paginator->prev('<< '.__('previous', true), array(), null, array('class'=>'disabled'));?>
 |     <?php echo $paginator->numbers();?>
    <?php echo $paginator->next(__('next', true).' >>', array(), null, array('class'=>'disabled'));?>
</div>
