ok, solved some of my problems with this hack. first of all my predicament was that i use the preview post which i like very much. i didn't want to take it out for various reasons. the first time i installed the poll hack i got an omnious "votewithnocomment" message on the preview window. my workaround was to disallow users to preview their messages while posting a new poll:
in public_new_topic_form.pl:
Code
code:
in vars_wordlets.cgi:
Code
code:
if you're concerned about the registration date not appearing below your name when you start a poll, do this:
Code
code:
for those of you who use avatars simply uncomment the two lines mentioned in public_poll_page.pl.
lastly, if you're not using the custom rankings/status hack:
in the same file:
Code
code:
you can fix the order of the variables (those that start with the dollar sign) in that file to match to your liking.
if you guys wanna to try a demo to understand what the hell i'm talking about go to http://www.textcentral.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and log in as test/test. hope i helped someone. please note that i'm not a cgi expert at all so maybe i blindly added some unnecessary code. Ciao!
