Hi there, I have been using an old donations module that no longer works with ravennuke unfortunately so decided to download the updated donation module you have here Very Happy

I noticed with the old donations system I had it has an option to add a theromastat image. Anyway a few months ago when the old system was working I decided to click on the to show theromastat option.. I couldnt believe that my donations trebled Very Happy

Not sure why etc...
maybe because it sttod out more?
maybe because it was just more interesting to have?
but its definatley was a massive improvement Very Happy

Is there any chance on the next update this module could have a similer option. Question

cheers all

You beat me to it, I was just writing an announcement topic in this forum lol.
I was not aware of any 'thermostat' image option that shipped with the original module though I think that Codewiz may have released something like that.
I think it may be a seperate block file? If that is the case, if you email it to me (or attach it in a PM) I will gladly convert it for you.
I just need to know whether you will be using it with the original Nuke treasury module or the CA Nuke Treasury module as the database table names are slightly different.

While I'm waiting for the block file (I am assuming it is a block file for the front page as against something that appears in the modules index page) the replacement module I am writing will use images in the block files - bar graph, pie chart etc to make things more interesting.
I was a little concerned over the amount of SQL calls the normal block file makes so I am looking at ways I can create the images dynamically, save them off, then just pull the images into the block rather than have a ton of sql calls everytime the page is loaded.

Got the files.
This may take a while and I think I should look at this with fresh eyes in the morning.
The code is actually for a completely different module, CZ Donations and not Nuke Treasury, it utilises diffferent ables and everything.

The block file code presents the image but the image is actually drawn dynamically in another file within the modules directory.
I am pretty sure after a quick look at the code that it is might be RN itself which is preventing this working as I have been trying to do something very similar (but with bar charts and pie charts instead of a thermometer) and it is related to having to send a new header type before the image is 'drawn'.

Code:

header("Content-type: image/png");

imagepng($img);

imagedestroy($img);

I used this technique in the previous RN to dynamically create numbers over an image in my news module.
If I can find my old News module and put that in my RN 2.3 site that would certainly confirm or not the problem.

Leave it with me, I'll see what I can do.

Hi there, I was wondering if there have been any development with the thermostat images or other image type thing for this great block Question

I have some new blocks under development but they are for the CA Money module which will be replacing the old Treasury module.
Obviously you will get a free upgrade when the new module is finished but I am just coming back from being away for severl weeks due to having the flu. I have quite a bit to catch up so I don't have a timeline for when the module will be released. I also hear rumours that PayPal may be making some changes to their processor API so I'm trying to chase that down as well as looking at other payment processors that I could include.
