Donat_o_Meter.php block showing negative number?

New Member Joined: Nov 09, 2005 Posts: 4

my Donat_o_Meter.php block is showing a negative number for the Left to go value. My donations for the month are full filled but the value for left to go is showing up as negative. Is there any way that if the donations for the month are completed and then the value for Left to go would say something like " donations for the month are fullfilled" or something like that.

any help would be appreciated..
thx

In your donat-o-meter block, find code similar to this and change yours accordingly to make it look like this

Code:

   // Set our remaining template vars


   $DM_MON = $row_Recordset1[mon];


   $DM_GOAL = sprintf('$%.02f', $row_Recordset2['value']);


   $DM_DUE = trim($row_Recordset1['due_by']);


   $DM_NUM = $row_Recordset1['count'];


   $DM_GROSS = sprintf('$%.02f',$row_Recordset1['gross']);


   $DM_NET = sprintf('$%.02f',$row_Recordset1['net']);


   $DM_LEFT = $row_Recordset2['value'] - $row_Recordset1['net'];


   if ($DM_LEFT<=0) {


      $DM_COLOR='black';


      $DM_LEFT = 0;


      $DM_NET = "Goal Met!";


   }


   else $DM_COLOR='red';


   $DM_LEFT = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_LEFT);

thx man that worked

I am trying to get the Gross amount received to say "Thank-You".

Like this:
December´s Goal: $55.00
Due Date: Dec 31
Amount in: Thank-You
Balance: Goal Met!
Left to go: $0.00

I tried just adding $DM_GROSS to the code you gave xbdx like this:
$DM_LEFT = 0;
$DM_GROSS = "Thank-You";
$DM_NET = "Goal Met!";

but it is not doing what I want. Suggestions?

I see no reason why that wouldn't work. What does it produce when you try it?

Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 4:56 am

It made no change at all. I even tried clearing my cache and using a different browser - nothing. Coming from a total php ignoramous, it seems like it should work, but it doesn't.

Just for grins-n-giggles, try this. $DM_GROSS = "1000"; Did that work?

Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 2:27 pm

Nope, that didn't work, either. Not only that but, I uploaded the stock version of block-Donat-o_Meter.php and after refreshing the browser, it still shows this:

December´s Goal: $55.00
Due Date: Dec 31
Amount $106.00
Balance: Goal Met!
Left to go: $0.00

Then something else is going on. Using the bbcode code syntax, please post your entire block code.

Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 4:26 pm

I guess when I uploaded the stock version, I did not use the correct one. When I loaded the block from vs 1.1 it went back to normal. Thanks.

Maybe I modified the 1.0 version instead of the 1.1 vs. I will try that and see if it works.

I figured out what the problem was. The "Thank-You" was too wide for the block. I shortened it to "Thanks," and it worked fine. Smile

However, I don't understand what this code does:

Code:




  else $DM_COLOR='red'; 


   $DM_LEFT = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_LEFT);

When I tried to add this to it:

Code:

$DM_GROSS = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_GROSS);

it wipes out the "Thanks," and puts in 0.00:

I assumed that what the first code did was say (in layman's terms) If the amount left is NOT <= to 0 then never mind and keep the original calculation.

If this is truly what it means then I don't get why adding the second bit of code would do what it does. Basically, I don't get it. Period.

It's expecting a number and is trying to format it numerically. Obviously 'Thanks' is not a number Smile

Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2005 8:45 pm

Ya, but if you look up at the other code it the "else" area you see

Code:







else $DM_COLOR='red'; 


   $DM_LEFT = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_LEFT);

Isn't this expecting a number too? "Goal Met!" is not a number. I just added a line to make it look like this:

Code:




else $DM_COLOR='red'; 


   $DM_LEFT = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_LEFT);


   $DM_GROSS = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_GROSS);

?

You're running me in circles. Please post your code from // Set our remaining template vars on down.

Raven, here is the edited code.

Code:

  // beginning of edit Set our remaining template vars 


   $DM_MON = $row_Recordset1[mon]; 


   $DM_GOAL = sprintf('$%.02f', $row_Recordset2['value']); 


   $DM_DUE = trim($row_Recordset1['due_by']); 


   $DM_NUM = $row_Recordset1['count']; 


   $DM_GROSS = sprintf('$%.02f',$row_Recordset1['gross']); 


   $DM_NET = sprintf('$%.02f',$row_Recordset1['net']); 


   $DM_LEFT = $row_Recordset2['value'] - $row_Recordset1['net']; 


   if ($DM_LEFT<=0) { 


      $DM_COLOR='black'; 


      $DM_LEFT = 0;


      $DM_GROSS = "Thanks,";  


      $DM_NET = "Goal Met!";


          


   } 


   else $DM_COLOR='red'; 


   $DM_LEFT = sprintf('$%.02f', $DM_LEFT);


   


   


   // end of edit

This produces the changes I wish in the Donat-o-meter block, but it now the Survey block looks like this:

Any idea why Goal Met! would not display on one line? Check out mine on my home page

http://www.3rd-infantry-division.net/

Can't get it to display on one line for anything. Messed with it for over an hour and can't figure it out.

Here is my Donatometer.html

It looks fine on mine. It will be a resolution size issue. I use 1280x1024. On smaller screens it will compact and over-flow/wrap as tables do Wink

Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2006 3:32 pm

I use the same resolution.

hmmm...
