UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Thread-Integrated UBB™ Polls V1.4 (beta)

Hi,
Really looking forward to this hack and would like to install now, but after reading the warning about the posible preview post problems decided to wait and see if anything was sorted so that both mods would work together. Is there any plans to work around this problem? Or do i have to decide on one hack or the other?
Cheers.

My UBB

I haven't installed the post preview on my board, so I can't really support it ... yet.

I'm planning on installing the post preview, so once I get around the problems, I'll update the install files.

Maybe this weekend? But probably next.

it would be great if you can add the following option:

Every user can vote only once. If someone tries to vote again, he gets an error message or so...

then your hack would be greater than now

(please, i need an option like that, its important, thx!!!)

I got the poll button and new poll page to work but now when I view a poll it shows a regular topic.

I have a question am I supposed to put "newvote" or "vote"?

i've used "newvote". and it works fine

[[dont forget my question ]]

I figured out how to replace the new topic words on the new poll page. But you'll need the mod wordlets.

################################
Open public_new_topic_form.pl
################################
FIND:
################################
# standard top of HTML page

################################
ADD ABOVE:
################################
if( $is_a_poll ) {
$topicpoll = $vars_wordlets_mods{post_new_poll};
$topicpoll2 = $vars_wordlets_mods{submit_new_poll};
} else {
$topicpoll = $vars_wordlets{post_new_topic};
$topicpoll2 = $vars_wordlets{submit_new_topic};
}

################################
FIND (You will find it more than once)
################################
$vars_wordlets{post_new_topic}

################################
REPLACE WITH
################################
$topicpoll

################################
FIND (You will find it more than once)
################################
$vars_wordlets{submit_new_topic}

################################
REPLACE WITH
################################
$topicpoll2


################################
Open vars_wordlets_mods.cgi
################################
FIND:
################################
%vars_wordlets_mods = (

################################
ADD UNDER:
################################
post_new_poll => "Post New Poll",
submit_new_poll => "Add New Poll",
################################

# That's it

When a user has not voted, they see a ballot.
After the user has voted, they see the results.
They do not have the option to vote again. If they wanna try to vote again by using their back button and getting the poll's ballot again, they can ... however when they try to submit a second vote, they recieve an error message saying that they've already voted.

So I don't exactly see your point ...

Good point ... It should be 'vote' not 'newvote'.

Vik, I have the post preview hack installed on 6.0, and this hack works fine with it with the exception of a minor bug. And that is if you preview your poll before you post it will say "Can Not Vote Without Comment" and not show you what your poll looks like. That little bug does not bother me because I have a test forum on my UBB that all my users test stuff in. I've also seen some people on here talking about compatability with the other Poll hack, the one admins create in the CP. I have that too and there is no problems.

well, it seems that you don't understand my problem:

a)When a poll is started, a user is seeing the ballot and he can choose one of the answers.
b)The User clicks on the vote Button. Then there is a page where he gets an information about his vote like "Your vote for No will be recorded. You also have the option to leave a comment that will show up like a reply. This is optional, so you can leave the message box empty.". Now he leaves a comment or not and clicks on the Add Reply-Button.
c)Instead of viewing the results now, UBB takes him back to the poll thread. There he can see the ballot again. He can vote and he can click on the Vote button again. By repeating these steps the user can vote agian, and again, and again, and everey vote will be reocrded and takes effect on the results.

I've never seen a page that tells the user that he can't vote again, and i've never seen a link to the results. When i want to see the reults, i must type in the URL manually.

Test it, for example here:
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=000982


Please answer, thx

There is another big bug !!

When you want to edit a reply in the poll, the poll will be deleted !!

Olson, You put a button that say s"post poll" right? well You did the wrong sized font, but it would look weird if it were the right size but hey. heres what I made that is the right size.

That never happens to me.. members can only vote once.. even after loggin in and out.. check it out.. http://www.demobreakers.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

it doesnt work with glow name or any other hacks that affect threads like stars etc... theres also bugs when moving the poll and editing it.. and it doesnt show up in ubbnews when you post it.. so theres ALOT of bugs but for now its good enuff.. am diggin it!

well, yeah i've checked it at your board ruph...

there it works fine, you're right..

but i can't explain why it doesn't work correctly at my board, and here at UBBDev it doesn't work, too. here i can vote as many times as i want...?!?

i've edited everything like it is described in the install.txt of the zip. ´possible that there are some mistakes in txt? or could my problem has enything to do with the chmod-ing of the poll cgi and pl file??

i dont know...

When I submit a poll I get a FYI message saying "You are attempting to reach a page that does not exist." Any ideas on what's wrong?

Thanks for this great hack !!:)
Works like a charme,and with some copy&paste from my public_topic_page.pl to the public_poll_page.pl the stars,avatar etc.. works to.
Loving it !!:)

it might be your cache.. UBBDev works just fine for me.. you might wanna cheq to see if your browser has cache enabled... whats the link to your board?

I installed this and noting comes up at all no "new poll" button or anything.

Hi guys,
Well installed and almost working fine. Even with preview post hack. Just one small problem. In netscape i get a "nbsp" in front of the poll items. This doesn't show when using IE. Any ideas on what i might have done wrong? Or a fix to this small problem?
Thanks.
Viking.

Hi,
Its ok i found the problem. sub print_ballot_option just took out the nbsp's
And works for me now.
Cheers.
Viking.

a part from the poll_install.txt:

what the hell is numer??

has it to be number?

why does my forum let the users vote as much as they want and doesn't show the results?

(it shows never the reults)

ruph: I mean my ubb. I installed the hack. and now when I submit a poll it says I'm attempting to access a page that doesn't exist.

dunno.. you might have hacked sumthing wrong.. it took my forever to get the hack working my self.. triple cheq the codes n stuff..

[JAM]Steel
if($this_user_numer eq chomp($stat_line[9]) ) { $is_owner = 1; }

This line is actually going to be used for later options, mainly allowing the creator or admin/mod to perform special functions. It is actually not meant to be in the install directions, but it won't effect anything.

whens the next version coming out??.. you got alot of bugs to fix great hack!

well, that doesn't matter, ok.

But i can't get the hack to work correctly, users can still vote when they want, and as much as they want. I've hacked every file 3 times, what am i doing wrong??

my previously installed hacks:

-HyperCells
-AIM/ICQ Status
-HTML in signatures
-Forum Statistics

Olson Great hack man, it worked on first try for me

I would like to know 2 things:

• I would like to disable special character check, my UBB run in Portuguese and we use a lot of special stuff, like ç á é à ã and others.
• Is it possible to restrict the post of new polls to admins and/or moderators, or activate/de-activate poll in specific forums ?

Once more, great hack

Thnx

I think I'll try it when it can only be used on one forum at a time... I'll have some confused members :b they're used to ezblow :rolleyes:

I did got the folowing error:

To correct it is only necessary find out the following code:

One time on ubb_poll_ssi.cgi (line 16) and two times on ubb_new_reply.cgi (lines 95 and 458) and replace them by:


Well... at least it did worked for me.

Best Regards

Gilfil

gilfil i love you!!!

it works for me fine, now the hack is complete, thx!!!!!!!!!!!

ummmmmmmm

btw after i changed my files like gilfil did now everybody can press the back button of the browser after he has voted and its possible for them to vote again and this vote will be recorded too.

any solutions??

is not working 4 UBB 6.00 or 6.01 - test it in ultimatebb.cgi.

[melder - ]www.chat-board.de]

Leetle bug, most likely just not in the template: the person who starts the poll, their member status is not included under their name. It shows up in later posts if they reply to their own thread, but not in the first post that created the poll.

Is SSI required for this Poll hack???

Can we have a new release that incorporates some of the fixes since the last one? Still seems a bit buggy here and there by ready through these threads.

wow, ive tried fresh 3 times and I just cant get this mod to work. Ive never had trouble on a mod before this!

1: The picture poll_ot.gif never shows up in the forum or cp.cgi

2: I dont really know how to install the dev kit


Perhaps there are some advanced step by step instructions somewhere?

Thanks guys. It looks like an awesome mod.

I am getting compilation errors, dammit!

I am using 6.05 AfterShock edition and it doesn't seem to like part of the poll hack in ultimatebb.cgi.

Tons of changes and security fixesmade since then.

You should really upgrade!

bah, I can't upgrade, I've hacked this thing to hell.

btw, what IS the latest version?

6.04f

hows this log the votes is it by ip or username
