Prior to CiviCRM, I used to use the give donation plugin which made a cool little progress bar for our fundraising campaign pages. Looking to create something similar with CiviCRM, I came across the CiviWCI extension, but it only supports CiviCRM 4.4 and has not been updated in some time.
Is there a built in functionality or an alternative extension that I could use?
Many thanks!
We published a small extension that makes it easy to display the progress bar directly on the same contribution page: contributeprogress.
The README.md has more details, but the short version is that once this extension is enabled, you can enable the widget and tweak a few colours. The widget will be displayed directly on the contribution page. Not all of the widget settings are relevant (for example, we do not display the widget title and text body, because it's often redundant with the page introduction text).
The default design is also a bit different that the widget preview, because we wanted something a bit more modern looking (and we wanted to propose something that works out of the box, without requiring a designer).
Credits: Roshani Kothari helped with the visual design picking some of the best elements of how progress bars are displayed on different websites, and Plastic Pollution Coalition helped to fund this work. We welcome feedback to refine and improve it further.
Set your Goal Amount on Contribution Page = Title and Settings
Enter an optional goal amount for this contribution page (e.g. for this 'campaign'). If you enable a contribution widget for this page, the widget will track progress against this goal. Otherwise, the goal will display as 'no limit'.
Then click through to the Widget tab such as this one on demo: http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/contribute/widget?reset=1&action=update&id=1
