Displays a custom thermometer charting the amount of donations raised. 

== Description ==

'Donation Thermometer' uses a simple shortcode to display a classic-style thermometer on your WordPress site for your fund-raising activities.

The thermometer is completely customisable with options available to change   the fill and text colours. You can also choose to display the target, amount raised, percentage raised and the currency symbol. Available symbols include £, $, Û and ´.

To display on any post or page, simply use the shortcode **[thermometer raised=?? target=??]**. Width, height and align are optional parameters.

NEW FEATURE: Multiple thermometers with different targets and amounts raised are now possible. Simply include as many shortcodes as you need on single/multiple pages. (If you are updating this plugin from a previous version please make sure you update your shortcodes so that they keep working!). The colour scheme of the thermometers is controlled from the settings page.


== Installation ==

1. Extract and upload the contents of the zip file to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Configure the options from the settings page.
4. Insert the shortcode **[thermometer raised=?? target=??]** into any post or page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Use just the width or height parameter in the shortcode to preserve the image aspect ratio:
**[thermometer raised=500 target=750 width=300]**
