Click On Graph To Jump to New URL

[rgiljohann]

Hello all,

I am looking to create a column chart URL HERE that allows a user to click on one of the columns to go to a new page. I based my code below off of this jsfiddle.

My goal is to have a user click on one of the columns to drill down to another page based on their selection, so if possible, I would love to also include the record as a parameter in the URL string.

I cannot get the code below to work even though it works in js fiddle. If it helps, the graph is set so that there will only be 10 records no matter what.

 

<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">


Highcharts.chart('container', {

    chart: {
        type: 'column'
    },

    title: {
        text: 'Click points to go to URL'
    },

    xAxis: {
        type: 'category'
    },

    plotOptions: {
        series: {
            cursor: 'pointer',
            point: {
                events: {
                    click: function () {
                        location.href = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/';
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },

    series: [{
        data: [{
            x: 1,

        }, {
            x: 2

        }, {
            x: 3,

        }]
    }]
});</script>

Hello @rgiljohann

Here is the example of the code you may use with Column chart to implement redirection:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
 var chart = Highcharts.charts[0];
 console.log(chart);
 chart.update(
 {
  plotOptions: {
        series: {
            pointWidth: 20,
            cursor: 'pointer',
            point: {
                events: {
                    click: function () {
                        location.href = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' + this.name;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
  }
 );
});
</script>

Insert this code into the Header of your chart datapage. Do not forget to disable the HTML editor.

This is fantastic. Thank you so much!.

Last question... Is there something I need to do if I deploy this on a page with multiple datapages? For example, when I tested this by itself, it works perfectly, but when I deploy it on a Weebly page with other pages, it does not seem to work.

I ended up getting this to work. I had deployed by using the embed code and when I used a URL instead on my page it works.
