Google Charts Module request

Hi there,

have had quite some questions from CMS Made Simple users for a Google Charts module a bit like this Joomla one for example:

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... arts/23839

For more information on Google Charts, please see:

https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/

I think this could be a great addition to CMS Made Simple as well, great way to have light weight and easy to manage charts on your site.

I am sure you could pay a module developer to spend his time to write it for you.

There is no 'real' need for a module to do that.

it's like 6 to 10 lines of javascript.... and one js file in the header.
You could easily write it with a GCB.

Didnt Duketown wrote such a module?

That joomla plugin is almost a verbatim copy of this code.

Except that it allows you to pass in the table data, chart type, and a few other things via params. You can do that with a GCB too.

I have built a module that enables you to display Google Charts on your site.

Give it a go and let me know if you have any questions.
