I have used Plot Over Time for a long time when found that I needed to put multiple charts on one page and category restrictions. The plugin did not allow it. I am insistent on not needing a new plugin - as this one has worked just fine for me\u2026 So, I made changes.<\/p>\n\n
My first change is small in user effort, but large in execution... I added an optional parameter for chart_num. This optional parameter is not needed if you are using the plugin for a single chart page. It is only needed to identify what chart you are making on a multi-chart page...<\/p>\n\n
Single chart on a page...<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Multi-Chart page...<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Want to see it in action? http:\/\/www.ourroadtohealth.com\/index.php\/data-collection\/total-blood-pressure\/<\/p>\n\n My second change... I added an optional parameter for post category restriction. This optional parameter is not needed if you are pulling from all post categories. It is only needed to identify what 1 post category you want to limit the data to...<\/p>\n\n Single chart on a page with category selection...<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Let's Get Started: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. <\/strong>To get it up and running: first, you'll need to put data in your posts. So, in a post, go to the section under your post called \"Custom Fields\". Create a field you want to track (for instance, \"Heart Rate\") and give it a value.<\/p>\n\n 2. <\/strong>You'll need at lest two posts with data in them before the plugin can do it's thing - so add data to another post.<\/p>\n\n 3. <\/strong>Now that you have at least two posts with data, you can create a post that creates a graph. For this example, you could simply use:<\/p>\n\n This will go through all posts that have a custom field called \"Heart Rate\" and plot them on a nice Google Chart Tools LineChart. Plot Over Time - Extended supports up to 10 fields per graph. If you wanted to work with more points of data (again, up to 10), simply add more Custom Fields:<\/p>\n\n The legend is automatically added, and each datapoint is able to be clicked to get a callout about it's datapoint. Or you can move the legend around with legend=\"left\" or legend=\"right\". If you want to get rid of the legend:<\/p>\n\n Types: <\/strong>Valid types chart types for Plot Over Time are: AreaChart, LineChart, PieChart (not particularly useful in this implementation), BarChart, and ColumnChart. To use other types of graphs:<\/p>\n\n Height \/ Width: <\/strong>You can set your own width and height for the chart with Width and Height (default: 400 X 300). Don't change the height or width using the options=\"height: \", instead use height=\"300\" or similar. Changing it in the options that are passed to the graph won't change the size of the div it exists in.<\/p>\n\n Data Limits: <\/strong>By default, Plot Over Time uses ALL data from all posts and pops it onto a graph. You can limit it with two options:<\/p>\n\n 1. <\/strong>You can determine the maximum number of days worth of data (starting from now and going backward) with maxdays. This would show a one month span of data:<\/p>\n\n 2. <\/strong>You can attach a graph to that post's published date with usepostdate:<\/p>\n\n So if the post was 3 weeks old, it would only show data from it's publication date of three weeks ago and older - this allows you to see changes post by post<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n Dates: <\/strong>The date format defaults to m\/d\/y - IE, 12\/31\/11. You can change it with dateformat. This would instead put 2011-12-31 on the graph:<\/p>\n\n Titles: <\/strong>This would add a title above your graph that reads \"My Graph!\".<\/p>\n\n Wrapping Up: <\/strong>Don't like the colors of the graph, or want to add a few new options? No problem - any Google Visualization Tools options is available using the option parameters.<\/p>\n\n More Info: <\/strong>For more information on the options available visit the Google Chart Tools homepage: http:\/\/code.google.com\/apis\/chart\/index.html<\/p>\n\n Rules: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. <\/strong>If you define 5 fields you want to read from, and a post only had four fields? It's going to ignore you.<\/p>\n\n 2. <\/strong>It doesn't do data interpolation. If there's a gap in your data, it simply ignores it - it doesn't give it a \"0\", it just plain doesn't plot it. (That's how he wanted it. Other opinions may differ - mine does not.)<\/p>\n\n 3. <\/strong>f you tell it you want to see 30 days of data, and you've only got three days of data in your posts? It's only going to show a graph that spans three days.<\/p>\n\n All data integrity is up to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n If you download, please rate the plugin. This is one of the few feedback methods available. If you have a low opinion, please allow me to try to fix it first before leaving a bad review.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n Yes, but it would take code changes. I could do it, but I did not see a need at this time. If you have a need, let me know and I might be able to slip it into the next release.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, but I have no time lines that I would do it in. I might finish tomorrow, I might finish next month. I gladly take requests as just that, requests... I am not asking for money, so please do not have expectations beyond a free service...<\/p><\/dd>\n The greatest form of flattery is plagiarism :-) I am not the original author of the base plugin - I highly modified an existing one.
