Forum Home Enhancements - Forum Goals with Animated Progress Bar for VB 4.x

This mod will display an animated progress bar on your forum index (FORUMHOME) showing your progress as your forum approaches a "goal" you set, (number of posts, number of threads, or number of members.)


NEW IN VERSION 1.92!
Added two new options allowing you to limit this mod to certain usergroups if you so choose.

NEW IN VERSION 1.9!
One more bug with commas in long numbers, especially evident with forums over 1 Million posts (or threads, or members).

New in Version 1.8!
Fixed another bug with languages that use periods instead of commas to separate groups of larger numbers: (1,000 vs. 1.000).

New in Version 1.6:
Fixes bug with people forums where css is stored in the file system.

New in Version 1.5:

You can now choose a non-animated progress bar which uses vBulletin's built in "Poll" graphics instead of the JavaScript and images included. This will work for anyone having JavaScript conflicts. It will also show to anyone with JavaScript disabled in their browser. (Tested in IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) If you won't be using JavaScript you need not upload any files, just import the product. See txt file for full instructions.

Also fixed in Version 1.5- two phrases were changed from "Users" to "Members" to keep wording consistent with goal types.

If Upgrading from version 1.0 simply import the product file, allow overwrite set to "yes."

See screenshots for examples.

Demo: http://www.juot.net/forums/forum.php (Live Demo is VB 3.8, see screenshots below also.)

Optionally you can set a date for the goal and it will display a countdown of days to reach the goal.

All text output is fully phrased so you can easily change the wording to your needs.

In addition the goals output is its own template, forumgoals, which you can further customize as needed.

You can also easily select a custom icon without needing to edit any templates.

Full instructions are included in the zip file.

This was made and tested on 4.0.8 and should work on all 4.0.x/4.1.x versions.

The animated progress par requires JavaScript to display. If JS is disabled a non-animated bar will show.

The progress bar uses a freely distributed JavaScript library available here:
http://www.bram.us/projects/js_bramu...essbarhandler/
"The [JavaScrpt] is now released under a creative commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license."

• 2 JavaScript and 2 images to upload
• 1 custom template
• 3 plugins
• 12 phrases

The Phrases used are GLOBAL : bop5goal, bop5goalreached, bop5goals, bop5posts, bop5poststogoal, bop5threads, bop5threadstogoal, bop5users, bop5userstogoal, bopdaystogoal , bopgoaldate, bopovertime


Please Mark as Installed if you use this!

VB 3.x version here.

Known Conflicts!
This mod has a known conflict with the TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications mod. See post # 37 to resolve this.

Basically if you have any mod that calls the jquery javascript library you must make sure the call to the jquery library happens BEFORE this mod's javascript files are called- usually that means moving jquery calls to the top of your headinclude template.

The way to know if this is your problem is if the progress bar doesn't show (but the rest of the table does) AND when you view source of your forumhome page you see the following two lines are in the code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/jsProgressBarHandler.js"></script>

If those two lines are there it means this mod is working bu javascript is conflicting preventing the progress bar from showing.

Here is the script ive installed too

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=244839&page=3

[BirdOPrey5]

I'm not going to try and install 10 different scripts to see which one doesn't work. YOU need to disable your scripts, 1 by 1 if necessary, to tell me which one is conflicting. If you can confirm which script is the problem I will install that one and attempt to figure out the conflict.

If you can't do this I suggest just uninstalling this mod.

[tdkmatt]

can i just diable them from my cp or do i have to go in via FTP and delete them?

[BirdOPrey5]

Just go to your Product Manager and choose "Disable" from the drop down menu.

However if a mod had manual template edits you'll have to remove them as well (or better yet just make a new style with no parent, so it's the default style, and test it on that. I would do that first so you can tell if it's a style problem or not.)

[tdkmatt]

yep it was the pop up thing, so when i removed it it started to work! but i really want to use both

OK You just have to move the manual template edit for that mod to the TOP of your headinclude template instead of the bottom (the call to the jquery library must come before my mod's code).

I suggest moving his template edit to right below:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={vb:stylevar charset}" />
<meta id="e_vb_meta_bburl" name="vb_meta_bburl" content="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}" />
<base href="{vb:raw basepath}" /><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]-->
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin {vb:raw vboptions.templateversion}" />

Near the top of headinclude

If you do this it should work, it works for me anyway.

[tdkmatt]

So move that entire piece of code to the very top of the headinclude?

[tdkmatt]

this is that ive done:
