Sick of hearing the whining about needing a ticker. While it seems to me to be a simple task for someone in the know, I am not that someone.

We can get raw data from:
http://paul.depositwiz.com/
http://www.ronpaul2012.com/wp-content/themes/ronpaul2012/tp.php

We should be able to take a snap shot at 12am EST tonight before the depositwiz rolls over. It's about $70,000 for today. We should be able to update a ticker that pulls from the raw data starting with todays total. Then it should be able to tick up as the deposit wiz ticks up adding the running total.

What am i missing that this hasn't or can't be done as long as the depositwiz is updating? Surely there is a developer amongst us that can code this rather quickly? The websites i see popping up left and right are simply beautiful and complex (look at ronpaulcountry!)

Anyone care to help? I'll snap shot the 12am time tonight so we have a baseline for today. This will play in perfectly for the push for iowa from now until the money bomb ticker comes up. We've done everything the campaign wont... why not this too???

I've been collecting the minute by minute data every time my computer's on for the past few months. I've used it to run graphs for BTO, Veteran's day, birthday money bombs, etc... I have to recode the script though before I can put it back up since all the of traffic we got during BTO shut down my web host.

So you just want a ticker starting at zero today and adding the sum of all donations going forward?

edit: thanks btw with your kind words about ronpaulcountry.com :)

Sounds good. I'll take screen shots for kicks and giggles to appease myself until something is made. It would be amazing to have a little box like the pledge boxes on the advertising banners that is a ticker that can pull updated data for the next few weeks...

Starting now at 0 or include the 70k from "today" since pauls email went out. Dev's choice. We just need a ticker to follow our progress and to share around the paul sites etc. tickers = excitement.

Having our own ticker is the answer... this must be done and work. Who can do it? Do it now!

Whoever is helping to make this, the campaign needs $1,000,000, so the ticker needs to have a meter that fills up to $1,000,000. This will give us the ability to measure our progress and shoot for a goal. Surely we can raise this before the 16th. Plus, if the campaign sees the ticker up on RonPaulForums or the Daliy Paul, they may just decide to put up their own early.

It'd be nice if the campaign setup a ticker with an extremely high goal and then we can motivate people to fill it.

I made a graphic for the ticker and sent it to someone here to do the coding.

That's way better than 2 weeks from now from the campaign!

Thanks everyone for pitching in :D
