Jellyfish Counter Widget

The Jellyfish Counter plugin provides a widget and shortcode enabling you to
easily add animated counters to your WordPress site.

Counters can be used as a manually updated total, an automatic counter that
updates over time or just as an animated visual effect.
Each counter can count upwards or downwards making them suitable for both
incrementing totals or countdown situations. A great visual effect for travel
blogs or any website that wants to display a running total or countdown of anything.

Jellyfish Counters are highly configurable through the widget interface, and
being generated using CSS and JavaScript, they require no external graphics
files. You may have as many counters as you wish on a page, all can have
individual settings for totals and appearance.

Shortcode support allows you to generate a counter directly within any
post or page content making counters no longer limited to your sidebar or
other widgetable area.

Advanced users will find that Jellyfish Counter objects are fully accessible
via JavaScript and may be controlled and reconfigured as desired though your
own custom scripting.

Usage

Widget

Simply drag a counter widget to your sidebar and adjust the settings to suit
your needs.

There are three basic modes of operation:

• Static – If you want the counter to simply display a non animated number
  just set a Start Value to the desired number for the counter and set the
  Counter Type to ‘static’

• Animated – If you supply both start value and end value in the widget, the
  counter will increment upwards or downwards depending on the chosen Counter
  Type until it reaches the end value. Speed of the count is controlled by the
  Animation Speed option. Note, this counter has no memory, it will reset when a
  page is reloaded or changed but it is great for a visual effect where start and
  end values are relatively close together.

• Continuous – If you want to count over a long period of time and need your
  counter to continue to count irrespective of page loads then just select the
  continuous option in the widget. Then choose the interval between the counter
  increments, in seconds. As soon as you save the widget the counter will “start”
  and will continue to tick away even if nobody is viewing your blog. Changing the
  setting on an active continuous counter will not effect the count value and it
  will keep count, if you wish to reset an active continuous counter just change
  the start value and save the widget and the counter will restart from the new
  starting value.
  Note: In continuous mode, animation speed and display tenths have no effect.

The counters are very configurable through the widget panel. You can define
the digit height, width and font as well as animation speed (animated mode only)
and “bustedness” (odometer style misalignment of the digits).

You can further customise the appearance of an individual counter via the
“Digit Style” input that will accept a valid CSS style attributes such as
font-family, colour, background etc.

Note: the size of the font here as is automatically calculated
from the height, width and padding settings.

Need a flat looking counter?
“Disable 3D effect” removes the CSS shading effect.
