Sugarcrm custom chart

Creating a sugar chart dashlet is done the same way as you would create a simple dashlet, just extending 2 functions, for this reason I will not cover the way a sugar dashlet is created.

Notes:
The dashlets will be named  "CustomLineDashlet" and "CustomPieDashlet" and the module is "abc_Sample".
You can use the predefined sugar chart definitions for parsing data (modules\Charts\chartdefs.php) or you can create your own to meet any custom demands. This is done by editing(creating if dose not exist) "custom\Charts\chartDefs.ext.php".

For CustomPieDashlet :

custom\Charts\chartDefs.ext.php:

$chartDefs['custom_pie_chart'] = array('type' => 'code',
 'id' => 'custom_pie_chart',
 'label' => 'custom_pie_chart label',
 'chartUnits' => 'The unit definition',
 'chartType' => 'pie chart',
 // important value that will be used to group the data
 'groupBy' => array( 'name' ), 
 'base_url'=> 
  array(  'module' => 'abc_Sample',
   'action' => 'index',
   'query' => 'true',
   'searchFormTab' => 'advanced_search',
   )   
);

custom\modules\abc_Sample\Dashlets\CustomPieDashlet\CustomPieDashlet.php

....

public function display() {
 $currency_symbol = $GLOBALS['sugar_config']['default_currency_symbol'];
 require ("modules/Charts/chartdefs.php");
 // here we load the chart definition (custom\Charts\chartDefs.ext.php)
 $chartDef = $chartDefs['custom_pie_chart'];
 require_once ('include/SugarCharts/SugarChart.php');
 $sugarChart = new SugarChart();
 $sugarChart -> setProperties('', translate('LBL_OPP_SIZE', 'Charts') . ' ' . currency_symbol . '1' . translate('LBL_OPP_THOUSANDS', 'Charts'), $chartDef['chartType']);
 $sugarChart -> base_url = $chartDef['base_url'];
 $sugarChart -> group_by = $chartDef['groupBy'];
 $sugarChart -> url_params = array();
 $sugarChart -> getData($this -> constructQuery());
 $xmlFile = $sugarChart -> getXMLFileName($this -> id);
 $sugarChart -> saveXMLFile($xmlFile, $sugarChart -> generateXML());
 return $this -> getTitle('
') . '
' . $sugarChart -> display($this -> id, $xmlFile, '100%', '480', false) . '
';
}

protected function constructQuery() {
 // this is the query used to get data and create the xml
 // for pie chart we have a simple query
 $query = "
SELECT 
 count(*) as total,
 name
FROM
 table
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY name";
 return $query;
}

For CustomLineDashlet :


custom\Charts\chartDefs.ext.php:

$chartDefs['custom_line_chart'] = array(  'type' => 'code',
 'id' => 'custom_line_chart',
 'label' => 'custom_line_chart label',
 'chartUnits' => 'The unit definition',
 'chartType' => 'line chart',
 // the legend will be the name and the x intervals will be the date
 'groupBy' => array( 'date','name' ), 
 'base_url'=> 
  array(  'module' => 'sam_Sample',
   'action' => 'index',
   'query' => 'true',
   'searchFormTab' => 'advanced_search'
 )   
);

custom\modules\abc_Sample\Dashlets\CustomLineDashlet\CustomLineDashlet.php

....

public function display() {
 $currency_symbol = $GLOBALS['sugar_config']['default_currency_symbol'];
 require ("modules/Charts/chartdefs.php");
 // here we load the chart definition (custom\Charts\chartDefs.ext.php)
 $chartDef = $chartDefs['custom_line_chart'];
 require_once ('include/SugarCharts/SugarChart.php');
 $sugarChart = new SugarChart();
 $sugarChart -> setProperties('', translate('LBL_OPP_SIZE', 'Charts') . ' ' . currency_symbol . '1' . translate('LBL_OPP_THOUSANDS', 'Charts'), $chartDef['chartType']);
 $sugarChart -> base_url = $chartDef['base_url'];
 $sugarChart -> group_by = $chartDef['groupBy'];
 $sugarChart -> url_params = array();
 $sugarChart -> getData($this -> constructQuery());
 $xmlFile = $sugarChart -> getXMLFileName($this -> id);
 $sugarChart -> saveXMLFile($xmlFile, $sugarChart -> generateXML());
 return $this -> getTitle('
') . '
' . $sugarChart -> display($this -> id, $xmlFile, '100%', '480', false) . '
';
}

protected function constructQuery() {
 // this is the query used to get data and create the xml
 // for pie chart we have a simple query
 $query = "
SELECT 
 count(*) as total,
 name,
 date
FROM
 table
GROUP BY date,name
ORDER BY name";
 return $query;
}

the meta files ( custom\modules\abc_Sample\Dashlets\CustomLineDashlet\CustomPieDashlet.meta.php and custom\modules\abc_Sample\Dashlets\CustomLineDashlet\CustomLineDashlet.meta.php) will look like this:

$dashletMeta['CustomSamplePieCart'] = array('module'  => 'abc_Sample',
            'title'       => 'Custom Pie Chart', 
                                          'description' => 'Custom description',
                                          'icon'        => 'themes/default/images/icon_sam_Sample_32.gif',
                                          'category'    => 'Charts');

and

$dashletMeta['CustomSampleLineCart'] = array('module'  => 'abc_Sample',
            'title'       => 'Custom Chart', 
                                          'description' => 'Custom description',
                                          'icon'        => 'themes/default/images/icon_sam_Sample_32.gif',
                                          'category'    => 'Charts');
