Fundraising thermometer
dshaw - November 26, 2006 - 01:24
Can anyone point me to a simple "fundraising thermometer" suitable for use with Drupal? By this I mean the classic image of a thermometer representing target of funds to raise and the amount the thermometer is full represents how far towards your target you are.
I've checked out the ChipIn module, but it requires you to use their services. All I'm after is something where I could manually enter the target and the current funds raised and a simple thermometer image could be presented in a block somewhere.
Any suggestions?

there were quite a few other scripts on google as well, using search term: fundraising thermometer.
I do not know of any community released modules of this nature, except for the chip in module.
CiviCRM has a block that
CiviCRM has a block that displays a fundraising thermometer as part of its CiviContribute. CiviCRM has a lot of other stuff too as well, so I'm not sure if this is what you want as it may be too involved. But you can have a look here to see for yourself.

Fundraising Thermometer
FastTrack Fundraising has a pretty nice thermometer: http://www.fasttrackfundraising.com/fundtracker_create.php.
Looks like it is exactly what you're looking for - you just enter in the target and current funds raised and it presents the thermometer in a block that you can copy and paste anywhere.
Some issues
Thanks for the tip. I think I found them when I was looking. The thermometer is exactly what I need. However there were two issues I had with them: they collect (and hence control) the money; and they don't operate internationally (which is no good for me as I'm in Australia).

I've tried to make it really easy to use, somewhat configurable, and fast.
