[GNC] HTML Chart exports are blank on MacOS/Windows browsers

2019-12-29 Thread boldstripe
HTML exports of charts (reports) can open and display satisfactorily in any browser on Linux, but they are blank on MacOS or Windows. On a MacOS or Windows browser, the chart area is blank (white). Any accompanying text table underneath the chart displays as expected, below the blank area. Text-o

Thank you for testing. Because I sync my GnuCash prefs folder, I can open the same chart report in the same GnuCash file from Saved Configurations within GnuCash on MacOS, Linux and Windows. The chart (an expenses bar chart) displays properly within Gnucash on all three platforms. The HTML chart

As John already hinted, the problem is that in order to display the charts, some external javascript files are loaded. The paths to these javascript files are set when you generate the report and will refer to some files in the directory where gnucash is installed. And there's the issue: Window

OK, thanks, I understand the problem now. As confirmation, when I open the Mac-generated HTML report on Linux and look at the code I find this line: That file path explicitly refers to a Mac-specific location for Gnucash and its contents. It clearly won't work on Linux. -- Sent from: http:

I think the user needs to know: 1. that the HTML Chart is platform specific 2. that the chart will only display if GnuCash is installed 3. that because of the above, the file is not suitable for 'archival' storage of the chart and that PDF would be better suited to that purpose. I found the char

Let me try again to post the MacOS-specific code in the HTML chart report, which references the specific installation path of Gnucash on MacOS: Because of punctuation this was not visible in my previous post. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html __

Christopher: Thanks, I confirm your method of making a Firefox webpage creates an HTML version that works across platforms, at least from Linux to MacOS. This could be useful if you really want HTML, but Firefox stores the javascript code in a folder that is 772 kB, compared to about 8 kB for the
