How to add Charts & Graphs to a Joomla website

Embed Charts & Graphs on Joomla

01

Create a Charts & Graphs extension for Joomla on Common Ninja

First, create a Joomla Charts & Graphs extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Charts & Graphs and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Charts & Graphs extension

When you're done creating the Charts & Graphs extension, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Charts & Graphs Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Charts & Graphs extension to your Joomla website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Joomla website.

04

Paste the code to your Joomla website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Joomla website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Joomla’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Charts & Graphs Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Charts & Graphs extension on your Joomla website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Charts & Graphs extension on your Joomla extension. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Joomla website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Charts & Graphs extension to your Joomla website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Joomla website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Charts & Graphs widget when you want to show data in a way that people can understand in seconds. Tables of numbers are hard to read, especially on mobile, and long explanations often hide the key message. With this widget, you can present trends, comparisons, and distributions using bars, lines, pies, and other visual formats that match your story. It works well for performance dashboards, research summaries, pricing breakdowns, survey results, and internal reports published on your site. Clear charts help visitors see what matters without doing mental math, which supports better decisions and a more professional impression of your brand.
