Progress Bar
Progress Bar is a WordPress plugin that displays a progress bar anywhere on your WordPress website generated from values you define in the options page. It can track your progress in any direction(working down to a goal or working up to a goal), handles negative numbers and floating point numbers. As with my other plugins, you can completely customize the look of the plugin from the options page.
Installation
Just download the plugin, upload the PHP file to WP_ROOT/wp-content/plugins/ and activate it in the control panel. Once it is activated, you can use the template tag irgProgressBar() in your template.
Known Issues
- Does not play well with floating point numbers.
Changelog
v0.1a - Initial alpha release
Todo
- Add support for floating point numbers
- Widgetize plugin
Download

Is it possible to have multiple progress bars, each progressing upto a different level?
That way, it would also be useful as a rating system as well
Gurdit: That sounds like a great idea … I will see what I can do about putting that in the next release.
nice one man…gonna check this one out…:)
Oh, do please widgetize it, and make it possible to have multiple progress bars! I cannot tell you how many crafters would jump on this with glee! We love to keep each other updated on the progress of our various projects, but while MANY crafters have taken to blogging, most of them aren’t geeks.
Thanks!

Just in case multiple requests would make the idea more likely to happen :) I just wanted to ditto Cyn’s comment! Multiple progress bars would make this completely rock, crafters very rarly only have one project going at a time LOL
if you have k2, just use a PHP module in the sidebar and for code put
just thought it would help
Hi,
I’ve just installed the progress bar, but it doesn’t want to display. The header is showing, but not the actual bar - any ideas?
Catherine: Did you insert the template tag where you want the progress bar to appear? The template tag is irgProgressBar(); and will need to be inserted into your theme files where you want it to show up.
I found how to create a quick widget for this useful app
Download and Install execphp.zip from this page >> http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/04/09/fun-with-widgets/
Download and Install this Progress Bar Widget
Create a new PHP Code Widget in side bar ( Presentation , Widgets )
add the code to the widget
Enjoy!
Thanks that’s an awesome progress bar!
And thanks to Paris as well
If you can make a progress bar that can have a title and number / % attached… the writers will love you forever.
You should be able to access the percentage complete with the following code …
< ?php echo $irgPB->options[’percent_done’]; ?>
Untested, let me know if that does not do the job for you.
Where do you insert the code to show a percentage?
In theory you would insert the code in the template anywhere you want it to appear. This is not required code though, for the plugin to work you just need to add the irgProgressBar() call somewhere in your template.
I’m trying to put the percentage code in a PHP widget used for the bar but it is not working also only certain options in the options all hex color codes the rest go by name…can this be changed?
also putting HTML code in the boxs after the bar causes issues with the footer. There also doesn’t need to be a hear option either since you cannot ad HTML tags to it.
