hey.. it `s working yeah Very Happy

I am still having a few problems with it though, when i changed the percentage there was a white line through it instead of the colour moving down and also the word sock is at the side of it instead of the bottom. Iv tried tweaking it but i then loose the image! Confused

Thanks for your help, ill have another look when im not so tired, at the moment i cant see the woods through the trees Confused

I got the same thing when i tried to change the hex code which says you can -i lost the image Crying or Very sad

funny thing though when i did change the percentage it changed colour
from green to purple... Confused

I couldn't get it to work with the word at the bottom so I put it at the side instead.

It changes colour from green to purple when it goes to 100% done - it always did that.

I'll see if I can reproduce the white line problem and see what can be done to fix it. and what happens when you change the colour values.

thanks for testing it for me.

When you set up the project values it is very fussy about the format - they have to be separated by a , and exactly one space or it can't find them. Could that explain why the image was lost?

hi i have got the code too display correctly but, and here`s the but, i really hate those colours, so, i have been trying too tweak it with no luck.
The part of the code which says set up colours for progress. Do you think it means to set it up like the projects with the [] and hex codes - i noticed on the site that the colours can be changed i just cant seem to figure out how its done!

// set up the colors for works in progress (less than 100 percent) and finished objects (100 percent)
// these can be hex codes, or color names (Green, Red, Blue, etc).

var wipColor = "#33cc33";
var foColor = "#9966ff";

are these the hex codes you have to change? when i did that i lost the image!

Yes they are the ones you need to change. The way it is set up there is just one colour for all WIPs and then it changes to the second colour when the % is set to 100% for an FO.

Please send me an example of what you changed it to exactly so I can reproduce the problem.

Hello one and all, I'm new to this forum and wanted to thank you very much for your crystal clear instructions on the (I believe) Indie girl WiP progress "projects"! I had tried unsuccessfully I don't know how many times to install them on my previous Blogger blog and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and the key was having the pics stored in the same gallery....THANKS SO MUCH for finally making that clear! I've got them up and running on my blog now and it only took a very few moments to do so! Can't say it enough....THANKS!

I'm so sure that I will!
LOL, I canNOT even explain how aggravated I was with trying to put those particular progress trackers on my previous Blogger blog (pre-Beta)! But, there had there had never been a person that made it crystal clear as far as hosting the clear gifs in the same album! It makes perfect sense now....again...THANKS SO MUCH Very Happy

I finally got the progress tracker from indie girl working. The code above from Jacquie is what finally solved it.

As I was playing around with my blog, I decide to make a widget that might make it easier for others to add the progress tracker to their blog. It works for me but I am not sure it will work for others. So if you would like to try it out, let me know if it works.

Go to my blog http://kimsknitpage.blogspot.com/ and on the right hand side you will see my progress tracker and under that a button that says Add Progress Tracker. If you click on that, you will be taken to a blogger page that warns about adding untrusted content Smile

WHen you click on the Add Widget button, the progress tracker will be added to your page. You then can go to your dashboard and edit where it is displayed. You will also need to edit the section of the code that says

Thank you for making this widget and posting about it - it works very well for me.
