Descripción
ProgPress provides a simple
shortcode for creating
progress meters on your WordPress site. They can be used to track
just about anything where you count up towards a goal: word-count,
fundraising, etc. You can put them in individual posts and pages, or
include them in text widgets.
To insert a meter simply use the [progpress]
shortcode:
[progpress title="My Project" goal="100000" current="1234"]
The [progpress]
shortcode has the following options:
- Required:
title
: A string containing The title for your meter.goal
: A number. The one you are working towards.current
: A number showing how far along you are.
- Optional:
previous
: You can put your previous value ofcurrent
here
if you want to highlight your most recent progress update. It’s
not visible using the default styling (but it doesn’t hurt
anything).label
: What it is that you’re counting, like"words"
for
example.separator
: A character or string to display between
current andgoal
. Defaults to"/"
.class
: An extra CSS class to apply to the meter container.
Useful if you track different projects with different styles.prefix
: A character or string to display before each number
(like ‘$’). Off by default.
ProgPress was designed to be customizable via CSS. I’ve provided
some examples in the Screenshots section.
NaNoWriMo Support
If you are participating in NaNoWriMo, ProgPress can automatically
track your progress. Just enable the additional ProgPress –
NaNoWriMo Support plugin (in addition to ProgPress), and set the
nanowrimo attribute to your NaNoWriMo username (this is a change
from last year where your user id was used).
[progpress title="My NaNoWriMo Progress" nanowrimo="jczorkmid" label="words"]
So as to not overload their servers, the plugin caches your word count
info, so it may not update immediately when you update your word count
at nanowrimo.org.
Note that as of November 10, 2011 the NaNoWriMo Word Count API is
not yet officially released. At times it seems to return invalid
errors saying your user doesn’t exist, or you don’t have a novel in
progress this year. In my testing this clears itself up after a bit,
and once some data has been loaded WordPress will cache it rather than
continue to display errors if it keeps going up and down.

Preguntas frecuentes
- I’m seeing the shortcode source when I try and use it in a text widget.
-
As of this writing WordPress does not support shortcodes in text
widgets. ProgPress has the ability to enable all shortcodes in
text widgets (not just[progpress]
), but it is turned off by
default. It can be enabled on the ProgPress settings page.The code is based on a proposed patch to WordPress core. Hopefully
this feature is added to WordPress itself at some later date. I’ve
tried to code defensively so if the feature is added to WordPress in
the future, having it enabled in the plugin should not have any negative
side effects. - What are the default styles? What does the markup look like?
-
Please check out the Examples section on the settings page. It
will generate markup and display the default styles for the currently
installed version of ProgPress when you click «Load Examples». I’ve
done this rather than put a static copy here that I might forget to
update in future. - What’s all this about shortcodes? I’ve been using ProgPress in a different way for ages!
-
Since ProgPress pre-dates shortcodes being added to WordPress it
originally used an older syntax based on HTML comments. This syntax is
still supported (although newer features likelabel
have not been
back-ported). It can be enabled on the ProgPress settings page.You add a progress meter by including the following in a post or in a
text widget:<!--progpress|title|goal|current|previous|label-->
Only these five options are supported, only the first three are
required. - Besides shortcodes and HTML comments, is there any other way I can use ProgPress to generate meters?
-
Sure. You can call the
jcp_progpress_generate_meter
function
directly.<?php if (function_exists('jcp_progpress_generate_meter')){ echo jcp_progpress_generate_meter("title", 100, 50, 25, "label"); }?>
The arguments to the function are:
title,goal
,current
,previous
,label
,separator
,class
,
andprefix
(in that order). - How will the meter show up in my RSS feeds?
-
Inline styles (based on the default styles) are used to ensure the
meters render in RSS readers.
