Donation Thermometer
***VERSION 1.1 Now Released***

Donation Thermometer is a module with a GD Library generated image of a red thermometer similar to what you would have seen at Church fundraising drives. The module was based on an opensource script creation of Arkie.Net - http://www.arkie.net/~scripts/ and packaged into a Joomla module. The width, height, funding goal, current amount raised, date last updated and currency can all be adjusted in the module's parameters. As well as a few other options including caching, module suffix, html pre-text and post-text. This is my first attempt at a joomla extension so go easy on me :) If you know how to improve this module (like integration with a paypal module) please show me how as I'm a bit of a noob :)

I don't need any financial support for this project. However if you want to show your appreciation please make a donation to the Go&Lo concept - Click the Demo button above... Thanks

**** GD Library is required on your server for this module to work ****

CHANGES IN 1.1

Now you can change the background, foreground and text colors of the output image (in the modules backend) using RGB colors ie. 255 255 255 = white or 255 0 0 = red or 0 0 0 = black etc.

If anyone would like to contribute to the development of this module, please contact me and I'll add you to the Forge.

Brilliant - Saved our free site by aussiemike, May 27, 2008
great module. Easy to install and looks good too. Saved our free recycling site from extinction.


Handy Tool... by pcal, May 23, 2008
Installs easy, does what it say. A useful little mod.

It would be good to add some graphical representation of values above the target amount...

I've set currency symbol to '%' and target to 100, and used module to display income against budget. Effectively displays "under budget" situation, but "over budget" only shows up in text. Perhaps a different color bar above the goal line?

Just perfect for what I need!


Very Cool by ClayRobeson, January 24, 2008

This is a great, easy to install module! Works well.

The only thing that would make it better would be a way to update it from the front end so that I don't have to give back end access to the capital campaign folks who might explode the rest of the site somehow. :)


Owner's reply:
Hi Clay, thanks for your kind comments. Personally I think granular access is beyond the scope of this module. However you could try an ACL component to restrict access to a backend user so that they can only access this particular module. What I would rather see is this Donation Thermometer module being teamed up with a paypal module so that the thermometer is automatically updated with each successive donation. This could be achieved through paypal's IPN mechanism. However at this stage I lack the time and the programming skills. If anyone is interested in helping out with this - please let me know :)

Nice and Easy by raebaca, December 8, 2007

Very nice and easy solution. One thing that I would like to see are form fields for color changes: bulb, text, and background. Looks great on white background, but not on any other color. Or better yet, tie it to the template's CSS! Good job, Jodee.


Owner's reply:
Hi raebaca, thanks for your kind comments. Did you know that you can customise the module and tie it to your CSS using the module suffix? Your right about the background. I might work on it when I get a chance. If there is anyone else out there who'd like to contribute to developing this module, please let me know :)
