Hack works great!!
Cup o suggestions:
------------------------------------------
1. Ability to show all the board's polls on one page
2. When a person votes, have it display what they voted for , not just the comment. For instance, I get comments that say "I agree" but no indication of what they voted on.
-----------------------------------------
Thats it .

i've have thought about recording which option a person votes for, but doing so you loose the anonymity that some people might want or require.
anyway, an idea would be to make classes of polls:
* Secret Polls
* Open Polls
* Polls w/ Write-In
* Polls which you can change your vote
* Polls that you can select more than one option.
* etc.
If anyone is seriously interested in these varieties or have some other suggestions, I would consider coding them up.

Well I would like the secret polls.
And a way to change your vote, or delete your vote all togather.

My suggestion is to make any poll topics show up at the top of a topics (per forum) list in a style not unlike the original Who's Online script. Would look kind of sexy =).
Ideally you'd show the polls subject and also the total votes so far, keeping it simply, yet attractive. This should ONLY be for topic display pages, it might screw up on others due to some people (myself) using Cat's Only etc.

Is the Rebuild Forum Stats bug still there or did some one fix it ps: maybe you should add UBBPoll as a REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS: A full version of UBB 6.0 & UBBPoll installed

ruph:
I think ubbdev.com is proof that it works.
Read Cyberdude8472 series of post ifs you are having problems getting the post button to come up. Make sure that there is an entry in all your var_style_X.cgi files for BBPoll.
indoe:
UBB Polls and Thread-Integrated Polls are quite different and exist independent of each other. You can probably use both if you'd like.
The rebuild bug was for the Search Index, I wasn't aware of a Forum Stat's Bug?? Anyway that's been fixed for a while and is included in the zip file.
Axel:
You can adjust the size of the poll table in public_poll_page.pl file. You probably shouldn't mess too much around with the results table, but you can play around with the ballot table.
I'm going to added some variables so you can adjust the size of the results from the control panel. Currently if you increase the size of the results table, the bar graph will not take up the full width it's cell.

Call me stupid, (and maybe I am !)
But when I try to make a new poll i get the following message
"You have used invalid characters in the Poll Options Field.
Valid Character include: Any Alpha Number Combinations with the following characters: ! - . , & '
» Please use your browser's back button to return. "
What am I doing wrong?
Many Thanks

Yes ! I was stupid, I found the straight line on my keyboard and it is working fine.
I would like to make a suggestion, and that is, can you make this hack compatable with the Hide Forum hack ? When trying to make a poll in a hidden forum, I get the following message
Error -- Email Olson & Report the Following Error:
The C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ubbforum/ubb/Forum14/000006-vote.cgi file could not be opened because: No such file or directory.
The file is there, but I don't think the script can see it because of the way the Hide Forum hack works.
Many Thanks

Everyone needs to make sure they have DPK's wordlet dev kit installed, seems to be a common problem in both poll script installs. You can find it here: http://www.nfscheats.com/users/DPK/scripts/cgi_perl/mods_wordlet_devkit_0.1.zip Fairly easy to install, most finished modifications require this before hand... We'll try to make the instructions to add this more visible.

Afterlab:
Simple solution. There are no spaces in between the bars when you create the poll.
You have Philly| |LA Lakers ...
You need Philly||LA Lakers ...
Ruph
The poll gets moved to the new location. I'll work on a way for it to look better after it has been moved. It will probably be a little graphic where the poll was saying ... "This polls has moved".
I also believe it says in the instructions that any modifications that you made to the public_topic_page.pl need to be made to the public_poll_page.pl. Do you have the lastest version?

LOL. Somehow I knew someone would say that. I have way too many hacks installed to upgrade.
What about this?
REQUIREMENTS: A full version of UBB 6.0

Nah. They are not wrong. They just failed to mention, or perhaps they just didn't know, that you could totally skip that part in 6.0 and it will work. It did for me Everything else in ultimatebb.cgi I followed to a T.

hey thanks olson! but that wasn't my MAIN problem, my big problem was that the bottom line (registered, posts, location, ip) was in the column with my avatar hack, member name, ratings and so on.. How am I suppose to fix it? I have tried soo many things that I am about to explode.

I keep receiving compilation errors in ultimatebb.cgi even on the forum summary page. I'm running version 6.04e
When I add my in front of the
$is_a_poll = 1;
$st = $in{st};
$sl = $in{sl};
And take out
local( $is_a_poll = 0 ); # olson
the forum summary page works fine. Even if I do that when I click new poll the regular new topic page shows

Anyone know why I get this long header message at the top of the poll when I call it via the exec cgi command on my main page. I get a similar thing in the whos online SSI hack as well. You can see the problem HERE ON MY HOMEPAGE . Anyone have any ideas on a fix for this? Also notice that the ubbnews which uses the same SSI call has no such header message.

afterlab:That is an issue with tables. You are missing a rowspan="2" in one of the blocks.
find in public_poll_page.pl:
And in your next block make sure rowspan="2" is included. I see from the html source code on your page that it isn't.
PainLord:
If you wanna send me an email, I'll look at your 6.0 problem a bit closer. ryan@si.fi.ameslab.gov
Divine Narcotic:
The $is_a_poll variable is VERY important. When you click the create a new poll, you use the SAME template and same cgi files as you do when you create a new topic. However, if it is a poll, which is signified by the value of the $is_a_poll variable, then a few extra options are available.
Adding a my is definitely not the answer because 'my' defines the scope of the variable to that file only. So my $is_a_poll has meaning ONLY in ultimatebb.cgi, but actually needs to have meaning in ubb_new_topic.cgi.
I'm not sure why your getting the error, and since I haven't upgraded to 6.04e I can't really test this out. However, I see that Allen is running it fine on 6.04e. 
Try this:
remove: local( $is_a_poll = 0 ); #olson
replace that with:
local( $is_a_poll, $st, $sl );
$is_a_poll = 0;
Then remove the 'my' tags that you added ...
highaltitudeimports:
You are getting the http header printed. I'm willing to bet that if you look in your vars_config.cgi file you will find this number in there. '2452055.0517'
Some reason the header is getting printed. I'm sorry, I can't reproduce that error. What is the exact ssi call you are using?

That didn't work... I still get this error message "Execution of ultimatebb.cgi aborted due to compilation errors." Maybe allen could tell me.

Olson: Thanks man I appreciate that But I'm good to go now and don't need no help. Like I said a few replies back, I merely skipped over that part and it worked flawlessly. FYI, and anyone else who has 6.0 that may have the same problem I did, here is what I skipped: All the other coding for ultimatebb.cgi I still did.
