Can we pull in the current donation total with PHP?
by jonasweb·3 years ago·3 replies
Hi, we’d love to use your plugin for a donation page, but it’s a custom form using PHP. Is there a way in the plugin for the current donation total amount to be automatically pulled in, rather than added manually? Could you provide a link to any documentation on how to do this? Thank you!
This thermometer ROCKs!

Sehr schön und einfach
Worked very well

This plugin worked nearly perfectly. I specially liked how I could have different categories of donations be shown in the same thermometer in different colors. For my alumni site we collect three different buckets of donations: General Fund, ENdowment Fund, Scholarship Fund. I could show amounts for all three!
What I would love to see is some integration with WooCommerce which we use to collect our donations where each Fund is like a product being sold. Barring that some ability to provide custom php code to determine values dynamically would be great.
UPDATE: It turns out it seems like what I was wishing for is already supported!
