Progress Meter is a Joomla module I created to allow a user to display a very simple vertical bar indicating a percentage of progress toward a goal. It is very configurable and used on this site as our Support Meter.
It is released as open source and is available here or off the Joomla extension site. If you use it on your site please post a comment on the Joomla extension site so I can the warm fuzzies of knowing it's used somewhere.
Once you install Progress Meter, you can set the following
Progress Goal
Current Goal Level
Meter Border
Meter Background
Meter Foreground
Meter Text Color
Meter Height
Meter Width
Module Text |
The target number
The current level of the target reached
The border color for the meter
The color for the unreached part of the goal
The color for the reached part of the goal
The color of the text for the percentage inside the meter
The height you would like the meter to be
The width for the meter
The text displayed alongside the meter

For support for this module, you will need to register for the site and then go to the Forums.
Updated 02/21/2007
The following bugs were fixed:
- Fix width descriptor to say width, not height.
- Trap divide by zero error.
- Fix percentile bar to not extend past module height.
- Fix percent figure being written outside box on low percentages. It now writes above the percent line until it fits below the percent line.
I also added one feature:
- Added macro codes (#GOAL# and #C_GOAL#) to Module Text so user can display goal and current progress without changing the numbers in the text every time a new number is entered into the Current Goal Level. Enter the goal and progress numbers as you want them displayed, use the macros in the module text, and they will display as you entered them. Don't worry about entering $ signs into the Progress Goal or Current Goal Level fields. The module strips those characters out to get just the numbers before doing any math.
You can use the module text field to display the Goal and Progress fields beside the vertical bar. Also, you can enter html codes into the text. I was able to embed a youtube video into the module, so if you try to embed a PayPal link and it doesn't work, let me know and I will see what can be done.
Hi
This is cool thanks and best regards to you all
thanks I'm really glad to have this.  VEry nice module.. Thanks I really like the module. Small flaw: display in IE6 is not correct, it leaves a small portion of the bar visible along the meter. See: www.bikeforburns.com
