RadOrgChart uncertainties

[Ong]

I'm doing an org chart and am keen on using suite provided by telerik.
Prior to that, I have some uncertainties
1. Can telerik control (RadOrgChart) support a large scale (i.e. 130 employees) org chart? I believe the view at client end will be compromised (i.e. the need to scroll)? Are there other implementation (i.e. a zoom button which allows me to zoom in or out) which I can leverage on from telerik without using the [Change Zoom level] from our IE?
2. Can telerik control (RadOrgChart) read RDF?

Hi Ong,

RadOrgChart could easily supports 130 employees and more. Regarding its appearance please review the following resources - zooming, group column count and node size.
For now RadOrgChart could not be exported to PDF. We recommend to use the following free tool to export your web page to a PDF.

Hi Peter Filipov,

Thank you for your reply.
I have another question to ask. I tried to implement a <telerik: Radslider> to do a zoom in/out to view my org chart. 

When I deployed the code, my internet explorer prompts that <object doesn't support this property or method>.  I'm using IE version 8.0. Is there any compatibility issue which I need to take note of?

Hi Ong,

Please review the setZoom method from our demo and notice that we check if IE is used and different method is called. In case that you still experience some issues send us runnable sample project for a local investigation.

All the best,

            //<![CDATA[
            var scaleParamX;
            var scaleParamY;
            var $ = $telerik.$;

            function onClientValueChanged(sender, args) {
                var zoomValue = sender.get_value();

                zoom(zoomValue);
            }

            function zoomAfterDrillDown() {
                if (scaleParamX && scaleParamY)
                    setZoom();
            }

            function zoom(zoomValue) {
                scaleParamX = zoomValue;
                scaleParamY = zoomValue;

                setZoom();
            }

            function setZoom() {
                var org = $($(".RadWindow iframe").get(0).contentWindow.document).find(".RadOrgChart").get(0);

                if (window.$telerik.isFirefox)
                    org.style.MozTransform = "scale(" + scaleParamX + "," + scaleParamY + ")";
                else if (window.$telerik.isIE && !window.$telerik.isIE7)
                    org.style.zoom = scaleParamX;
                else if (window.$telerik.isIE7)
                    $(org).find(".rocRootNodeList").get(0).style.zoom = scaleParamX;
                else if (window.$telerik.isOpera || window.$telerik.isSafari)
                    org.style.WebkitTransform = "scale(" + scaleParamX + ")";
            }
            //]]>
        </script>

Hi Peter Filipov,

Thank you for your reply.
The RadOrgChart is slow when showing the diagram. It returns more than 130 records each time.
Does Telerik has any way/method to speed up rendering?  

[Peter Filipov]

Hello,

@Efe
With the following line of code we get a reference to the DOM element of the RadOrgChart. The RadWindow is rendered in iframe element, with the ".RadWindow iframe" selector we are getting a reference to it. In case that you want to create a sample without window you could use the following sample code:

function setZoom() {
    var org = $(document).find(".RadOrgChart").get(0);

    if (window.$telerik.isFirefox)
        org.style.MozTransform = "scale(" + scaleParamX + "," + scaleParamY + ")";
    else if (window.$telerik.isIE && !window.$telerik.isIE7)
        org.style.zoom = scaleParamX;
    else if (window.$telerik.isIE7)
        $(org).find(".rocRootNodeList").get(0).style.zoom = scaleParamX;
    else if (window.$telerik.isOpera || window.$telerik.isSafari)
        org.style.WebkitTransform = "scale(" + scaleParamX + ")";
}

@Ong
In order to reduce the rendering that comes from the server. You could use load on demand or web service binding.

Hi Efe,

I am not quite sure what might be causing the described behavior. In order to resolve your issues faster. Could you please provide me a runnable sample project that reproduces your problems.
