Great Plugin, any chance a progress meter could be added

Hi Tim,

actually, there is an unofficial version of the plugin with a progressbar, which I made for a friend. I’m planning to include that feature in the main version, but can’t give you a date for this.

Meanwhile, if you want to use the unoffical version, you can download it from https://www.j-breuer.de/temp/frontend-checklist-progressbar-v0.2.zip

You can update by replacing the files in wp-content/plugins/frontend-checklist/ with the files from the zip. This is not a installer zip, you have to replace the files manually by FTP.

After updateing, you can insert the progressbar in any page or post by using the following shorttag:

[frontend-checklist-progress name=”Standard”]

The name attribute should match the name of a checklist you have created. Since this is an unofficial version this function is not documented in the plugin description, yet.

Great, it does the job. I added some gradient to make the progress meter to liven it up.

.ui-widget-header {
border: 1px solid #77c278;
background-image:
linear-gradient(
to right, #71D161, #49A34B
);

This plugin is great. I saw this post and I want to put a progress bar in my checklist but it is not showing up when I use the shorttag given: [frontend-checklist-progress name=”Standard”]

The progress bar pops up but then the checklist is gone. I made sure to plug in the checklist name too.

Hi tannershaffer1,

are you using the plugin from the repository or the unofficial one from the link above (https://www.j-breuer.de/temp/frontend-checklist-progressbar-v0.2.zip)?

the progressbar feature is currently only available in the unofficial one.

Cheers,
Jonas

Actually I was able to get the progress bar to pop up but I wanted to add some color. Is that possible in this plugin??

You could try the CSS code I added above. That worked for me.

Tim

Is there any way to make the progress bar from a list appear by it self an another page not containing the task list itself? Great plug-in by the way. Simple, but works. I like that ;).

Hi David,

did you try this? I see no reason why that should not work. Just include the shortcode for the progressbar on one page and the shortcode for the checklist on another page.

Cheers,
Jonas

Hey Jonas, thanks for the reply. Yes I did try this and it displayed a progress bar but would not update it when I clicked on the completed task in that same list. The same progress bar would display and update just fine if I used both short codes on the same page?

I’m using this behind a protected portion of my side using the s2member plugin. I don’t know if that matters or not?

Hi David,

how did you check that? Did you open the two pages in separate tabs, or did you click on a task and then opened the page with the bar?

Cheers,
Jonas

I used tabs I believe. I was also using the no cookie code. Do I need to do something different?

Hi David,

if you place checklist and progressbar on different pages and open both in different tabs, the progressbar won’t update directly, when you click on a checklist item. However, when you refresh the page with the progressbar, it should update.

Cheers,
Jonas

The link for the download of the progress bar version is not working. Do you have an updated link for that file download?

Sorry, the WordPress forum screwed the link up and added the closing bracket and the question mark. Have a clean one:

https://www.j-breuer.de/temp/frontend-checklist-progressbar-v0.2.zip

btw, the progress bar is still not working for me unless I include the checklist on the same page/post of the progressbar. I’m using this behind a membership site and I’m using the none cached version.

Any other thoughts?
