Feature Request: Shortcode or PHP Function for Raised Amount

Hi,
Sounds feasible – it looks like you would just need to make a small modification to the plugin code to read the raised amount as a shortcode e.g., https://slewis.org/nested-wordpress-shortcodes/

Thanks. I tried changing line 88 in therm_shortcode.php
from:
$thermProperties[‘raised’] = strval($atts[‘raised’]);
to:
$thermProperties[‘raised’] = strval(do_shortcode($atts[‘raised’]));

My shortcode looks like this:
[thermometer raised=[get_total_donations field=”fld_9181836″]]

But it didn’t work. I’ll have to look at it later. Hoping it’s something really simple!
Thanks!

I had the same question fixed it by adding

if (strpos($atts['raised'], '[') !== false) {
	$shortcode = strval($atts['raised'])."]";
	$atts['raised'] = do_shortcode( $shortcode);
}

to therm_shortcode.php on line 92.

Please add this to the next release

better code:

	//raised value
	if ($atts['raised'] == '' && !empty($options['raised_string'])){
	    $thermProperties['raised'] = $options['raised_string'];
	}
	else{
		if (!is_numeric($atts['raised'])) {
			$shortcode = "[".strval($atts['raised'])."]";
			$atts['raised'] = do_shortcode( $shortcode);
		}
	    $thermProperties['raised'] = strval($atts['raised']);
	}

Thanks for this. I will look into this in a bit more detail for the next release.

Hi, this is now incorporated into the latest plugin update, 2.0.8.

This doesn’t seem to work for me. I have a shortcode [total_dons] that returns a donations total and I call your shortcode like this:

[thermometer target=”50000″ raised=[total_dons]]

It shows the thermometer with a 0 raised value and prints the last ] as text on the page.

Do I have to do something special in my shortcode for this to work?

Thanks!

Tried without the target attribute and that doesn’t work either:

[thermometer raised=[total_dons]]

Hi, no as long as it outputs just a number. This should work:

[thermometer raised=’total_dons’]

And it does!! My shortcode does indeed only output a number calculated from the sum of Gravity Forms entries’ totals in several donation forms. It’s a moderately complex shortcode actually but the ouput is not ??

I didn’t want the client to have to update this manually. So thank you so much! That really helps.
