설명
This plugin loads an XML file specifying different “bricks” used to make up a fundraising image map and generates a dynamic CSS image map based on the XML file for use as a fundraising meter within pages, posts, and more.
Features:
- Loads XML file and displays it as a form within the Administrator panel for editing
- Saves edited XML file
- Parses XML file to generate dynamic image map, with opaque squares representing “bricks” that are not yet purchased and transparent squares representing “bricks” that have been purchased.
- Each brick has a hover button popup that directs the user to a donation page, shopping cart, etc.
- Completely customizable background image, XML file, popup image, and more

FAQ
- How do I create the image sprite to use in the plugin?
-
The sprite has two parts: the bottom half should be the image you want to appear when bricks are purchased, with an identical version of the image directly above it with opacity applied to darken it for bricks that are not yet purchased.
- What is the format of the XML file?
-
<bricks> <item id="item-id-1" product_name="message-that-appears-in-popup-1" link_brick="url-that-popup-links-to" width="width-of-this-brick-in-px" height="height-of-this-brick-in-px" top= upper-bound-of-this-brick-in-px" left="left-location-of-this-brick-in-px" type="2-if-purchased-1-otherwise" raised="total-raised-so-far-first-item-only" /> </bricks>An example XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <bricks> <item id="mc1" product_name="Purchase your Brick now $5000" link_brick="http://www.somesite.org/store/products-page/bricks/bricks4" width="99" height="49" top="0" left="0" type="1" raised="$3.700.00"/> <item id="mc2" product_name="Mr. Testing Bricks" link_brick="http://www.somesite.org/store/products-page/bricks/bricks4" width="99" height="49" top="0" left="100" type="2" /> <item id="mc3" product_name="Purchase your Brick now $5000" link_brick="http://www.somesite.org/store/products-page/bricks/bricks4" width="99" height="49" top="50" left="0" type="1" /> <item id="mc4" product_name="Mrs. Testing Bricks" link_brick="http://www.somesite.org/store/products-page/bricks/bricks4" width="99" height="49" top="0" left="200" type="2" /> </bricks>
