How to show multiple (more than 1) org chart on same page?

I tried to setup a page with more than 1 org chart webpart, but it doesnt seem to work. Getting an error:
There are more than One Org Chart web parts on the same page. We are able to process the first only.

Please guide!

Hello @MohamedUbaidullah,

When Plumsail Org Chart was initially created, due to some technical restrictions it was not possible to add a possibility to create more than one chart on a page. Now, Org Chart still relies on that Telerik component although to a lesser degree.

Potentially, our paid support could rewrite the code and enable possibility to create multiple charts on a page. Please, drop us a line at support@plumsail.com if you are interested and we will provide the exact estimation.

Thank you Anna. I will get back to you on this!

Hello @Anna ,

Is it possible to show data from more than one root id? the reason here is we want to show data for 2 departments. Either show 2 org charts on the same page, or provide 2 root id’s or just put in a filter with 2 departments?

Hi @MohamedUbaidullah,

Yes, it’s possible. Please, review this article to learn how to do it.

Hi @Anna,

We have the same requirement as @MohamedUbaidullah and managed to create an org chart with two root managers by following the article you provided.

However, we noticed two minor glitches with this approach:

  1. Both root manager have links to connecting them to the hidden top-level root instance.
    two-root-managers_1

  2. If we expand one of the manager entries below the root managers, only half of the entry/box is displayed.

We'd really appreciate any hints you can give us on how to solve this.

Thank you,
Olaf

Hello @Olaf,

Looks like the CSS in the article was outdated. I've prepared a new CSS and JS for you.

Please, remove the JS you have and use the following JS to add a class to the top box:

renderer.onBoxRendered(function(event, box, itemData){
	if(itemData["PreferredName"].contains('David Navarro')){
      box.$elem.addClass('customClass');
	}
});

And the following CSS to hide the box and the lines:

.customClass{
    padding: 0 !important;
  border: 0 !important;
}
.customClass > div{
   display: none;
}
.customClass .poch-arrow{
  visibility: hidden
}
.customClass:before{
 width: 200%;
  height: 65px;
  background-color: #f7f7f7;
  position: absolute;
  left: -50%;
  top: 100%;
  content: ' ';
  z-index: 500;
  display: block;
  top: -15px
}

Hello @Anna,

Thank you again. With the changed JS and CSS code we were partially successful:

The arrow from the top level to the box in the center is gone now but the arrows to the left and right boxes are still there. This may be a simple CSS issue. Unfortunately, my CSS know-how is limited.

This is the CSS code we are using (basically your version plus our own box colors):

/*Change background color for all boxes*/

.poch-web-part .pl-item .pl-item-template{
  background-color: #990033;
  border-color: #990033;
  
}
.customClass{
    padding: 0 !important;
  border: 0 !important;
}
.customClass > div{
   display: none;
}
.customClass .poch-arrow{
  visibility: hidden
}
.customClass:before{
  width: 200%;
  height: 65px;
  background-color: #f7f7f7;
  position: absolute;
  left: -50%;
  top: 100%;
  content: ' ';
  z-index: 500;
  display: block;
  top: -15px
}

Our JS code looks like this (also basically what you posted above):

renderer.onBoxRendered(function(event, box, itemData){
	if(itemData["Title"].contains('Heidelberg Engineering Group')){
    box.$elem.addClass('customClass');

	}

});

Any hints on how to hide the remaining two arrows are greatly appriciated. :grinning:

Thank you,
Olaf

Hi @Olaf,

For 3 root managers you would need to increase the width of the block that covers the lines. Please, correct the following properties:

.customClass:before{
  width: 300%;
  left: -100%;
}

Also, please, edit the following lines:

.customClass + .poch-arrow{
  visibility: hidden
}

I see, you still have the collapsing icon above the blocks. I should have added + between the class names there to apply the property to the .poch-arrow element.

Thank you @Anna! With these changes the lines are gone.

Best regards,
Olaf
