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.

Does it work for you in Chrome on this page: http://www.qapla.com/mods/forum.php ?
(It works for me with Chrome there.)

Actually it does, yes. Means I'll be looking elsewhere for solutions.
Checked the headinclude as suggested and added the manual fix as suggested earlier in this thread with no effect.

[BirdOPrey5]

It's working for me in Chrome on your site (the site in your signature) too - I see you are at 99%.

Is it possible you have an extension blocking javascript on your site? Not really sure what it could be.

[cykelmyggen]

When I log out of my site I can see it as well both in Chrome and in FF, but not when logged in. I've set the usergroup permissions to everybody.

[BirdOPrey5]

I registered on your site and can't find the log-out button again but I confirm it's not working when logged in.

It looks like errors in the javascript from the shoutbox (which is disabled for guests) is preventing the javascript from this mod from running.

I would suggest simply changing to one of the non-animated progress bar options in the mod settings- those don't require javascript at all.

Works perfect thanks BOP5!

Hello,

I just installed the mod, and I am unsure if installed it correctly or not, but the java-script part does not seem to be working.

There's quite a few things that can affect the JavaScript, they have all been discussed in this thread in the past if you care to read through it.

Personally though I would suggest using one of the non-javascript "poll" options. It isn't animated but works better and faster.

is it possible to have this show progress of donations? Even if I have to manually enter the donations. I use google checkout which is not available in the subscription area so I manually keep track of donations.
