Fundraising Thermometer Plugin for Wordpress
Welcome to my blog, please feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed or leave a comment.
Example of a fund raising image from the new plugin
I recently improved an older version of the fundraising thermometer plugin for WordPress by adding additional CSS support and also making it much easier to add to your WordPress theme.
Features
The fund raising tool is a true WordPress plug-in, testing with WordPress 2.7 and fully functional. It features:
- W3C compliant Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
- Dynamically updated text including target and current fund status
- Money formating options for use internationally
- Theme options, allowing designers to customize the look of the thermometer
- Call either the graphic or a formated number to display in text.
Admin Features
The new interface allows uses to set both the current amount (what has been raised) as well as the target amount (what you want to raise). The script automatically generates the ten steps in between and displays them for the user.
The plugin interface, for WordPress
Currency Format uses the PHP money_format function to display currency which allows users to format the resulting numbers in any currency.
How It Works
To display the current amount of money raised (in currently format) place the following code in your theme:
<?php echo show_ourprogress() ;?>
For a graphical version (by default the thermometer), include the following code:
<?php show_ourprogress_graphic();?>

This thermometer looks great and I think is just what I am looking for but I have a dumb question - as someone new to wordpress where exactly where do I “place the following code in your theme:”? I have loaded the plug-in and tried placing that text in the function.php file but with no luck.
I am using the Kubrick default theme and have modified it a bit.
Thank you!

All I need is a reason for people to give me money so I can raise some funds!

After putting the proper code in the theme, I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function money_format() in \wp-content\plugins\ourprogress\ourprogress.php on line 130.
I can’t figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions?

Hi Rebecca, in the Kubrick code you can place the “< ?php show_ourprogress_graphic();?>” code into the sidebar.php for example and the thermometer will appear in the side of your blog. If you would like it to appear on your pages, inserting the code into your page.php file will allow it to be on all your pages.
Mike, the plugin requires the money_format() function but if doesn’t sound like your server has it installed. You can test this using the PHP test found here (http://www.php.net/function_exists/).
