   hi, nice script but it doesn’t work with the 1.11 libary! have you a idee to customize the script for the 1.11?

9. david

   @Christian: The problem is likely due to the fact that Moo 1.1 didn’t use the “set()” functionality. You’ll need to go back and look at the 1.1 docs.

    Nice job!

    I would recommend some enhancements, instead of ID’s I would recommend using classnames. So multiple instances can be created. The elements can be stored inside the class. I also used a template for displaying and added message-support. Not such a big difference, but I thought I should share ;).

    I’m sorry for posting again, I’m using it with Zend Framework (Zend_Progressbar)

    PHP – The Action:

    public function demoAction(){
    $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
    $this->view->layout()->disableLayout( true );

    $pb = new Zend_ProgressBar( new Zend_ProgressBar_Adapter_JsPush(array(

    )) );

    for( $i=0; $i<10; $i++){
    $pb->next( 10, ‘Ronde ‘ . $i );
    sleep(1);
    }

    }

    PHP – The View:

    <?php ob_start(); ?>
    <h2>Progressbar – demo</h2>

    <div id=”pbContainer”>
    </div>
    <iframe src=”<?=$this->url( array_merge($this->params, array(‘action’=>’demo’) ) )?>” style=”left:-100px; top:-100px; width:1px; height:1px; position:absolute”>
    </iframe>
    <?php
    $this->layout()->mainContent = ob_get_clean();

    $this->layout()->setLayout(‘default’);
    $this->layout()->menu = $this->layout()->render(‘adminmenu’);

    $this->headScript()->appendFile( $this->url->js . ‘/progressbar.js’ );
    $this->headScript()->captureStart()?>

    var pb;
    window.addEvent(‘domready’, function(){
    pb = new dwProgressBar({
    container: $(‘pbContainer’),
    boxClass: ‘progress_box’,
    percentageClass: ‘progress_percentage’,
    displayClass: ‘progress_display’,
    startPercentage: 0,
    speed: 1000,
    displayText: true
    });
    });

    function Zend_ProgressBar_Update(data){
    pb.set( data.percent, data.text );
    }

    <?php $this->headScript()->captureEnd();

    Some stuff I just personal, but it’ll get everyone started, note that the view belongs to another action!

    In your class, in function createElements, I added :
    if ($(“text”)) $(“text”).dispose();

    Because when you have a succession of progressBars, the last text is not cleared and you have multiple XHTML elements with the same id brrrr.
    With something like this, the css stay on the road and DOM is respected.

    Hey David,

    what’s the licence of these progress bar? Can I use it for commercial websites?

    Thanks in advance.

14. david

    MIT. Use it however and wherever you’d like.

    Hello,

    Thought you might be interested to see a website where your component is used or maybe give it a review or something. I made a forex prices and trend analysis tool that you can see at http://www.forex-prices.com/

    Have a nice day, Ruslan

    Hi,
    Is there any way to create a nice looking percentage bar to preload all images / content on a HTML page, and then show that page once everything is cached?

    You seem to know what you’re talking about, whereas I don’t
    :-)

17. BobMac

    I’m trying to pass the output of this php variable $progress to your script and not having any luck. Any ideas?

18. Csaba

    Great sample code and as David said you can use it wherever you want . Cool

19. Peter Januarius

    Excellent job. Easy to use. I was wracking my brains what to do on my initial load of my webapp. Your progress bar fitted in without any problems. Using Mootools 1.2.1 and jQuery.

    Cheers

    Pete…

    I added a text header that I called ‘pretext’ which appears above the progress bar:

    So the options object looks like this:

    options: {
    container: $$(‘body’)[0],
    boxID:”,
    percentageID:”,
    displayID:”,
    textID:”,
    startPercentage: 0,
    displayText: false,
    speed:10,
    pretext:”"
    }

    CreateElements looks like this:

    //creates the box and percentage elements
    createElements: function() {
    var tbox = new Element(‘div’, { id: this.options.textID, ‘style’:'display:inline;float:left’ });
    tbox.innerHTML = this.options.pretext;
    var box = new Element(‘div’, { id:this.options.boxID });
    var perc = new Element(‘div’, { id:this.options.percentageID, ‘style’:'width:0px’ });
    perc.inject(box);
    tbox.inject(this.options.container);
    box.inject(this.options.container);
    if(this.options.displayText) {
    var text = new Element(‘span’, { id:this.options.displayID });
    text.inject(this.options.container);
    }
    this.set(this.options.startPercentage);
    },

    Note that I added the ‘tbox’ Element

    I like your component but I don’t like MooTools. It is so unintuitive. The ‘inject’ method is from some upside down world – possibly the Mr Men.

    Cheers

22. Greg

    Can anyone help me implement the preloader for a webpage. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for sharing

25. Francois

    I was looking for a progressbar script and I landed on your website. Nice website! Think I am adding it to my bookmarks. But before I do this… ;-)

    Can you please explain how you render these GoogleWebfonts anti aliasing? I have not found a solution to this.

    Thanx in advance!

26. Oscar

    Great job, it works perfectly.

    Thank you! :-)
