Has anyone tried to embed a progress bar for an online form without embedding the full form? It seems like it should be possible theoretically but there’s nothing in the link and embed options. Perhaps someone has figured out a way to do it?
It would be helpful to be able to embed progress bars or otherwise represent the number of online action submitters without having to embed the full form.
My specific use case is wanting to embed a couple of different progress bars on a campaign webpage so folks can see the number of submissions for a couple of different online action forms (a traditional petition and a sign-on letter petition). We don’t want the forms embedded on the page because they would take up too much space and not look right as part of the design — we have compact, eye-catching call-to-action boxes with buttons linking to the forms. We’d like to have all the progress bars in one place so we can direct legislators there to view up-to-date numbers.
Related, right now for at least some online actions they can be one-page or multi-step — it could be useful if instead of that being exclusively a setting (though having it as a setting for the appearance of the non-embedded form would still be useful), there could be different embed codes for progress bar only, multi-step and one-page depending on application. I’ll try to submit that suggestion and maybe some of you would like to join me?
I could see another possible solution using an online activity report but ideally the data would refresh regularly and be easily embeddable. I don’t have the coding chops to figure out a way to develop a workaround using scheduled reports.
