new version of highcharts in an extension

[edwin]

Hi,

we tested highcharts using an old extension that obviously uses an old version of highcharts.  we were able to extend it to show different chart styles and a ton full of customization.  now our trial is over and weve bought a license, we were moving to a newer version.  unfortunately, the way we were calling highcharts in the older version does not appear to work.  all the jsfiddles call highcharts in a diff way!  i tested the new version as a mashup and it works!  but not in an extension (this feels weird to me)

has anyone used the new version of highcharts as an extension?  current version is 9.x

thanks,
edwin

for added info,  this way how we call highcharts in the old version:

var thisChart= $('#'+ChartData.Configuration.Container).highcharts({
   chart: {

but from the jsfiddle we see in the demos, it is of this format:

Highcharts.chart('container', {

pointing to the new version of highcharts, the old format call does not work.  using the ones in JSFiddle, the new format doesnt either.

hi, i saw a github post you did a few years ago re highcharts, can you pls share how you referenced highcharts in your extension?  esp the definition at the top of your script where you included the libs?

thanks
