Progress Bar

[marlis]

Hi all coding gueniusses

I am wanting a progress bar. Where members can enter the progress too.

The challange i am wanting to create is, travel around the world. So when ever sombody dose 1 mile it adds it on the bar.



So it looks somthing like that. Just with a botten to add a mile, or a palce where you can put in a number and the bar will move up.

Thanks to anyone who is up to the challange.

where would this show? who can hit the button to add a mile? what space are you willing to sacrifice to store the data for the bar (personal text/custom title/signature)?

I was wanting it to show in the header of a board, under the ad's, This would only be for a few ppl on a password proticated board. Or in a cell from a tabel.

For where to stor it, as much as i have gatherd it takes away that option, but guess signature would be best.

All members can add a mile.

ok so this is a global bar that everyone can affect then...

without having a common place to store the data (as in a server) and backend PHP in order to process a request from each member, I dont think this will be possible. If it were a bar that was in each members signature or profile/miniprofile, it could use a hidden value in their personal text that they could modify from their own profile, but other members wouldnt be able to modify it (except staff with powers).

now if you want just a bar in a board header, that you can manually just change the value to that everyone can see, that wont be difficult. but no one will be able to change its value at a click of a button unless you have somewhere to store their clicks (as in another server).

or am I reading this request wrong?

Yip you are reading it correctly.

You woulnd't know of some place where i can find ones on line, like there are tickers for waightloss, baby age, what ever els. I can't seem to find one, the reson i asked if something could be made.

Thanks though.

I havent seen one myself, but if you come across one I dont think it would be all that difficult to add it in to your board headers. If I stumble upon one I will post a link.

As I said, the bigger issue would be storing the data somewhere. PB doesnt really have accomodations for storing little pieces of data like that, so coders have to find sneaky ways to hide stuff. Even then, our hands are tied as to what is allowed to be sent. That is why there are so many rules about modifying forms.
