I had what I thought was the problem posted and looking for an answer.
However something went off (or is that on?) in my head and I tried something else and now I have the poll program working 100% on a test board that has nothing else installed!!!
In the instructions there is a reference to custom_status
I removed the reference to custom_status as follows:
Code
code:
I changed that to:
Code
code:
(Taking out $custom_status)
AND
in the file public_poll_page there is a section that should be commented out IF you do not have the custom status and avatar hacks installed
Code
code:
actually I just deleted the whole section but remarking it out would be better in case you install those hacks later on
What is missing from these instructions is that we (the "idiots" who don't know better) should go into the poll files and uncomment the code that needs to be uncommented IF we have the avatar and custom status hacks installed.
I realize now this is the problem I was having with my board when I tried installing this hack previously.
So now I will attempt to install this hack on my board (that has the avatar and custom status hacks already installed on).
This has been a very educational process to say the least! And even though it has been many hours of banging my head on the desk, pulling my hair out, and wondering how stupid I can be, it has been fun through it all; especially when I eventually figured out what was wrong and could fix it!
Now I too can say, "Great MOD! Thanks and I look forward to future versions!"
