Hide Viz Heading

hi black.be3,

what visualization is it?

i just had a look at a calendar visualization page i have set up and it doesn't look like it in menu options or visualization parameters, but i was trying to figure out how to add this as a parameter ie either define a title for your visualization page, or if the field is left blank have no title.

this concept of having a field where you could define a value or if left blank no value would show on front end was done with the birthday plugin and i was trying to apply the same logic to the calendar visualization.

my attempts started here.
 
I'm using fusionchart viz, and i can't find any parameter that related to hide heading/title like on list parameter.
My simplest way is to create custom template for viz with no heading text.
Located on "plugins\fabrik_visualization\fusionchart\views\fusionchart\tmpl"
 
can you leave visualization label blank (you can do this on calendar visualization)?
 
I could have sworn I'd added that feature back in to the FusionCharts viz (I remember adding it to the f2 version).

I'll go and do that now.

OK, I had added it back. There still isn't a specific "Show title" setting in the viz params on the backend, but the Fusion Charts view does check for a show-title query string or plugin arg.

So if you add show-title=0 to your plugin ...

{fabrik view=visualization .... show-title=0}

... that should suppress rendering of the label.

Or you can add &show-title=0 to your URL.

Can you guys test this and confirm it works for you? Works for me. At some point I might add an actual viz param on the backend, but for now you should be able to control it with the QS or plugin param.

can this easily be applied to a menu item that links to a fusion charts visualization?

or should i just link to an article that runs the plugin code {fabrik view=visualization .... show-title=0} in it?

thank you!
 
i ended up just calling visualization in an article using the plugin code.

i also found that there was a lot of space above the chart and so attempted to replicate the show-title scenario above by replacing:
Code: 
<br/>

	<p><?php echo $row->intro_text;?></p>
with:
Code: 
<?php if ($this->showIntroText) {?>

	<br/>

	<p><?php echo $row->intro_text;?></p>
	
	<?php }?>
in /public_html/plugins/fabrik_visualization/fusionchart/views/fusionchart/tmpl/default/default.php

and replacing:
Code: 
$this->assign('showTitle', JRequest::getInt('show-title', 1));
with:
Code: 
$this->assign('showTitle', JRequest::getInt('show-title', 1));
		
		$this->assign('showIntroText', JRequest::getInt('show-introtext', 1));
in /public_html/plugins/fabrik_visualization/fusionchart/views/fusionchart/view.html.php

and then referencing this in plugin code in article like:

{fabrik view=visualization id=3 show-title=0 show-introtext=0}

i'm not sure if this is correct but it seems to work!
 
you're welcome, i still have quite a bit of area at the top of my chart but i think it is a joomla template issue, but if you find any extra ways to reduce space at the top, please let me know, thanks!
 
for to not start new thread:
Guys, can somebody tell me, why in my charts i have huge right margin? Seems that it reserved for legend, but i am not using it. Is possible to use maximal width for the chart?
p.s. all margin settings=0
 
Hi!

Fusionchart, version "default" (it's weird but options free 2.2 and pro 3.0 gives an eror for me) chart type - MSLine ot Bar2D
Thnx!
 
ps and maybe a screenshot of your chart would help troubleshoot the issue if possible.
