djangocms-charts 2.0.0

DjangoCMS Plugin to add and edit ChartJs charts

DjangoCMS_Charts

A plugin for DjangoCMS that creates easy to use and fully customisable ChartJs (ver 1.0.2) charts - with a table and csv upload interface.

Quick start

1. Add 'djangocms_charts' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

   INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'djangocms_charts', ]

2. Run python manage.py migrate to create the djangocms_charts models.

3. Ensure you have your own version of jQuery added to block 'js'. See here: https://django-sekizai.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#example

4. Add a DjangoCMS Chart object to your web page!

ChartJs

ChartJs <http://www.chartjs.org/>_ is a dynamic charting application giving users an interactive and visually appealing chart in an html 5 canvas. Each type of chart is available:

• Line
• Bar
• Radar
• Polar
• Pie
• Doughnut

ChartJs-Sass

To format the charts we recommend using ChartJs-Sass <https://github.com/mcldev/ChartJS-Sass>_ which creates an easy to use SASS template system so that charts and colours are kept out of the HTML and JS code.

Inputs

Use the normal inputs to select the data for the chart, the header rows and the orientation of the data i.e. in rows/columns. The full set of customisation inputs are available in the 'Advanced Settings' for each chart or in the main Administration settings for all charts.

Future Development

Future development will include updating ChartJs versions and adding Highcharts as another Chart type.
