Despite the wonderful site building tools that Search API provides, Acquia strongly recommends that you use the Apache Solr Search Integration and related modules instead. Based on our extensive experience helping Acquia Search customers with both the Apache Solr Search Integration and Search API modules, we have found that using the Apache Solr Search Integration module results in a search solution that is more scalable, better performing, more reliable, and better integrated with Apache Solr. If, despite these factors, you want to use the Search API module with Acquia Search, follow the instructions on the Acquia Search Documentation site to get connected.
Compatibility
If you are using Search API Solr RC4 or higher you should use 7.x-2.0
Data visualization for views. Supports charts and "BigText" in views. I made this module as a backend for my Drupal Commerce dashboard.
Tips
It's important that the module is supplied with numeric values, this means you need to select unformatted fields in Views.
If you're trying to get total amounts per month/week etc. you need to use views in aggregation mode, as explained in the video tutorial that is linked above. You will probably also need the views_date_format_sql module and use it as depicted in this screenshot:
If you're trying to Chart Drupal Commerce monetary values you need the latest dev of this module so that unformatted values are available (even with multicurrency set-ups).
Why another module for charts?
I needed something that works and I needed it quick. Other modules don't support one or more of the following:
Interactive charts that work on iPad/iPhone. This module uses Google Visualization API which is HTML5/SVG
Just a sandbox project to help me understand some PHP commands related to XML processing. Just me copying other interesting stuff to hack it and see how things work or break.
