For anonymous users the thermometer does not display. In the user permissions area 'administer progress bar' (verbage does not make sense either) must be checked to even see the thermometer. Admin permissions should not be granted to view the thermometer.

I can't recreate this bug. Are you sure that you haven't changed any of the block visibility settings?

I had this problem too: the thermometer graphic didn't show up for anonymous users. I had to turn on "administer progress bar" for anonymous users to get it to work.

I wander if caching has something to do with it. I have normal caching turned on.

Hi mennonot,

Does anything show up at all for anonymous users? Do they see nothing, or only "Current amount" and "Target"?

I think that what's happening is that the CSS and JS files aren't being added for anonymous users when block caching is turned on, because of the way the files are added (see related issue #214856: CSS and JS for Cached Blocks (drupal_add_css incompatible with blocks)). It seems like there is no easy way, in Drupal 6, to add these files only when the block is displayed.

I guess the way to fix this is to add the files in hook_init(), but that means that the files would now be added on every page, whether the block is displayed or not. I guess that's not a big problem, as the files are pretty lightweight. Maybe we could also add a setting to make the JavaScript optional.

@mennonot, see if this patch fixes your issue.

FWIW:

You have to click on the "Save configuration" button of the Donations Thermometer Settings page after you install the module. Otherwise the graphic won't display in the block at all, only the "Current amount" and "Target".

Tested version 6.x-1.1 in Drupal 6.19

Thanks @dboulet. I had the same issue as @mennonot but the patch seems to have resolved the problem.
