Are there issues with CFCHART in Lucee? Do I have to install a separate component?
When I try to execute a CFCHART I get an error →
“ERROR”,“ajp-nio-0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1-8009-exec-5”,“03/05/2024”,“12:04:06”,“”,"failure in C:\ACS\showtheoffer\control\reports\geo_displayreport.cfm;undefined tag [cfchart];lucee.runtime.exp.TemplateException: failure in C:\ACS\showtheoffer\reports\geo_displayreport.cfm;undefined tag [cfchart]
Thanks

Chart Extension can also be installed via Lucee Admin > Extension > Application.
Thanks @kenricashe I now have it installed 
Being a newbie to Lucee I actually forgot about the option to go to EXTENSIONS.
I do have an odd issue though, I’m logged into the dashboard, go to EXTENSIONS - APPLICATION, all good to hear, type CHART and hit FILTER and it kicks me out, saying “No access, password is invalid”. Log back in and there is CHART when I go back to EXTENSIONS. Go to install it, kicks me out again, log back in, it’s installed.
Would you know where I might report this as a bug?
Thanks
Just noting that many cfml devs have moved from native cfchart to purely frontend Javascript chart rendering alternatives, such as https://www.chartjs.org/. These are powerfull and often more flexible than cfchart.
But cfchart is still quite useful when static charts are required, such as in email notifications.

I suggest creating a separate post for your recurring Lucee Admin authentication issue as that doesn’t sound specific to the cfchart extension.
Agreed. I thought it might be best reported as a potential bug, but I’m not sure where/how to report it
My experience has been that they prefer discussing it here first, and then usually @Zackster will instruct where/how to report it.
okay, I’ll create a new post
