    Hi,

    I have a page with several thermometers and would like to add a “main” thermometer that shows the cumulative amount raised by all the others. Is there a way to do this so that the amount in the “main” thermometer is automatically updated when one of the other thermometers is changed?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately this isn’t possible in the plugin. However, if your raised totals from the ‘secondary’ thermometers are dynamically generated then a way you might be able to do it is to create your own shortcode that sums these totals all together. You could then use this shortcode in the ‘main’ thermometer. There are numerous plugins that could create a custom shortcode like this.

    cheers

    OK thanks. I wrote a simple plugin (first time!) to create the shortcodes.

    I wanted the total for the main thermometer to also be dynamic; i.e., automatically be the total of the secondary thermometers. I noticed that dynamic total values aren’t supported in the plugin so I implemented it in my copy, but maybe it’s something you might want to consider implementing in the plugin.
