[rt-users] rt 3.8.1: Graphical charts are not available. error

[Janet Houser]

Hi Eli,

Thanks.

I didn't modify my new SiteConfig file for graphing.  Did I miss 
something?  In my previous verion (3.6.5) I didn't have to
add anything special for bar and pie graphs to work, so I assumed I 
didn't need any new graphing mods in my 3.8.1 Site config file.
