I attempted to integrate the d3.js library into a FileMaker web viewer to display FileMaker data and am coming up with a mostly blank screen.

I was following the very cool tutorial by Matt Petrowsky from here:  http://www.filemakermagazine.com/videos/beautiful-interactive-custom-charts

 

Anyone able to take a peek and tell me where I went wrong?

 

thanks

Here ya go, Steven. I opted to put the libraries into their own table for easier debugging and readability.

You will get the basic idea was you crack open the file,

Have fun!!!

Thanks a lot.  I was scratching my head with regard to why Matt had all that code living in text objects on the layout. This approach certainly seems more straightforward.  Now to see if I can get this working with some of the cooler charting scripts at d3js.org  thanks again.

Any idea why the web viewer in the file you provided will not work via WebDirect under FileMaker Server 14?  It displays a white box.

Ummm - not really. It is raw FileMaker. I am not setup at the moment with a WebDirect testing environment (working on a few cloud data systems currently). Maybe someone else can shine some light on this.

Sorry I cannot be more help now. Good luck!

Just came across this thread which FINALLY allowed me to connect my FMP data with a chart. It's been 4 years in the making.... However, I'd like to NOT have the donut be 3D. Is this difficult to accomplish with your method?
