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.

Cool.

Sounds like it could be a good option for post and thread goals, I will consider this in the next upgrade.

I will try to implement an option to choose a different location on a future version. (ie- below what's going on box.) At this time I don't plan on allowing for multiple goals to be tracked at one time- quite frankly that would be doing 3 times the coding I've already done and I don't ever think I'll need that feature. I will point out this mod is marked "re-usable" code so you are free to mod it yourself (or convince someone else) to fit your needs.

You can modify the background color (or anything else) by editing the forumgoals template. To specifically modify the background color find the code:

background-color:#EEEEEE;

and modify #EEEEEE to any hex color code you want. #C0C0C0 is grey, #FFFFFF is white, #000000 is black, etc...

You can also replace it all with a common color name, such as:

background-color:darkblue;

It works fine for me on your site:


Maybe you have javascript turned off or disabled on your browser? The bar won't show without javascript enabled. Whatever the problem it's with your browser- it's working for other people who visit your page.
