Question

How can I illustrate the progress of for instance a task?

Answer

You can use the progress bar markup. It uses the following syntax:

(:progress percents-number:) (note: don't use the percent sign '%')

or:

(:progress tasks-done/all-tasks :)

Examples:

(:progress 30:)

(:progress 3/10:)

To install, do as usually:

download progressbar.php Δ
put the file in your "cookbook/" directory
in your "local/config.php" file add a line of
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/progressbar.php");

Notes

This recipe uses only CSS and additional HTML to display progress bars. They should simply disappear in textual browsers, so you might want to put additional textual indicators sideways (like: "30%") for users browsing with text-only browsers.
I've removed the old recipe existing here, as it was quite empty.

By the way; I'm very interested in the reception of my recipes. Therefore, please feel encouraged to write a word or two where/how you use this recipe, if you fancy :). But only if you have time - no force intended here. Greetz, M.
