Do we have any update from them ?

Here's the feedback I've got from support last friday:

Apologies for the inconvenience.
Currently the FusionCharts website and CDN is down also FusionExport is affected for the same. We have raised this issue with the concerned team and they are working on the same .
The website should be up and running soon .

The CDN is still offline and the new website points to the old website redirecting to the new website...

Now https://cdn.fusioncharts.com/fusioncharts/latest/fusioncharts.js is working again.
But my charts on my website didn't work many days, this is a bad experience.

Never depend on some third-party CDN to host your libraries. You just found out what happens when you do. Host them yourself and if you need a CDN use one like Cloudflare. Do not, I repeat, do not depend on somebody else to host your libraries.

If only it was that simple.....
tried several times to use it without CDN , but it wont work,
I also found buried CDN references in the javascript code...

It is that simple, download the files from the Product Update Center or download the file from git and include the files you need.

The files from GIT or the official licensed files don't have links to a CDN in them. Obviously don't use the files you download from a CDN, they are messed with and only work when referenced to a CDN.

With the following files in a folder:

fusioncharts.charts.js
fusioncharts.js
fusioncharts.powercharts.js
fusioncharts.widgets.js
... any others you might need

Then:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/your/folder//fusioncharts.js"></script>

And the rest will work like magic. FC will load the other libraries as needed.

We've been doing this for over 10 years now with FC and never an issue. Gives us complete control of the version of FC we run with - because the newer versions tends to have regression bugs that we don't want.
