If the author really cleans it up and offers it for sale, and it's not buggy, I'll buy it right away. But as it stands, it gives a lot of bogus statistics, errors, etc. It REALLY looks nice, but when many of the the stats are not correct, what good is it?

I'm working on a new release that takes care of most errors.

The stats are counted from the db itself.

If you got any remarks on specific error you can always post them here or drop me a pm

I'm getting this error when I click on 'Graphical: Poster Overview'

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imageftbbox() in /home/jamaica/domains/jamica.com/public_html/libchart/classes/Text.php on line 75 


What could be the problem?

Thank you for this lovely hack.

Sorry if I am repeating a post, but all works well apart from when I try and change the Chart type.

I.E - Comes in horizontal chart as standard, but when I try and change it to Vertical or Pie, it stays at horizontal.

Any ideas please.

I'll check but the new version will use a different method of generating the stats.

That's is probably because your server doesn't support the generation.

This will change in the new version (I first need to finish the vbgooglemap update)

stonyarc --> Can we get an update on this, please?

Just one comment, the name of the generated graphic should be unique for each user, possibly by using the userid as part of the filename. While as it stands this modification is fine for low volume use I can see a situation where if multiple users are looking at graphical statistics they could in theory refresh so fast that they get other users charts.
