Ziya problem

[andrea...@gmail.com]

Hi to all,

i've installed yesterday the Ziya plugin but i'm having some
troubles....
The installation works fine, i've foolowed the tutorial on youtube and
i've looked to others but the view doesn't display me the graph but
only a string like this :

line666666768bb3200620072008Dogs102030Cats5-2030

here it's the code in my controller :

def line
chart = Ziya::Charts::Line.new
chart.add(:axis_category_text, %w{2006 2007 2008})
chart.add(:series, "Dogs", [10,20,30])
chart.add(:series, "Cats", [5,-20,30])
render :text => chart
end

And this is the view line.rhtml:

<%=gen_chart( "line", url_for( :controller => 'calls', :action =>
'line' ), '#ffffff', 400, 300 )%>

So no graph but only the string above!!!
I'm running on debian 4.0...

Can anybody help me???

Hi Andrea,

   Cool !! Welcome...

   Are you using the ZiYa plugin or gem ?

   In any case the video tutorial is a bit out of date now... Sorry, working on a new one...

   I think you need to change this line in your controller

   > render :text => chart

   render :xml => chart.to_xml

Hi Andrea,

   Hum... I am guessing you are hitting the controller action directly ??

   Remember, the line action is the actual action that the ZiYa chart will be calling think of it as a callback from
   the view and back to the controller. ie

   You will hit http://localhost:3000/fred which invokes controller Fred, action index.
   This would render the fred/index.html.erb template in which the ziya_chart helper declaration resides.
   Then the helper will make a callback to the controller says Fred for the action line which will produce the
   xml to render the chart.

   Sounds right, or did I miss your question ? If so I will need more info on your setup....

Hi Fernand,

my "work-flow" wasn't correct, now i've followed your instruction and
everything seems good....

Really thanks for your help...
