ProgPress free WordPress plugin

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 of current 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 and goal. 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
