heho ...

BUG - if u have a member like ( Satan´s Sister ) u become a ERROR - i mean is the "´" apostrophe in the name.

change to ??? :

can u post the "postnumber" and not the "login/public name" into the calendar file ?

thats a good idea melder, ill change it so it writes member number to file rather than name. do note that the 6.1.0 version has no problems with strange characters, etc, as it uses ubb 6.1.0's nice built in data storage functions.
i should have time later today or tomorrow to do that.

TX

u have ???

HEHO ...

open: ubb_poll_lib.cgi and find:
################################

$has_voted = "No";
foreach $voter (@voters) {
if ($voter eq $user_profile[0]) {

#############
change it to:
#############


$has_voted = "No";
foreach $voter (@voters) {
if ($voter eq $user_number) {


##########
next find:
##########

$poll_data{voters} .= "$username||";


###############
change this to:
###############


$poll_data{voters} .= "$user_number||";

#######################

thats all - i think !!! now the poll write the usernumber to the file and NOT the Username.

no more BUG - like "´" apostroph in username.


nice day ...

Help. I have v6.05 and when trying to change settings in the cp I get this:
Undefined subroutine &main::set_vars_poll called at cp.cgi line 257.

What is it?

melder - i was going to change it but decided not to because changing it will make past polls not work right. there are a few more things to change other than the ones you got, but i would recomend changing them back and waiting a day or two because im just going to change a couple things so that special characters like apostrophes wont mess up the data anymore - without making old poll data useless.

Mewtwo - make sure you have uploaded cp_vars_poll.cgi to the Templates dir, and added the lines in cp.cgi correctly.

I rechecked everything!
Here's what I get in the cp:

Mewtwo - in cp_lib.cgi, check to make sure the line you added after } #end set_vars_misc is added correctly.

this is it:


} #end set_vars_misc

sub set_vars_poll {
local(*FILE);

$CurrentTab = qq%Poll Settings%;
&CPHeader; &CPFooter;

#validate
my @ValidateArray = ("UbbPoll", "use_name");
&Validate(@ValidateArray);

# sort forums
my @forums = &OpenForumsFile;
my @sortforums = sort(@forums);

# write to file!
open (FILE, ">$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_poll.cgi") or die("Unable to open vars_poll.cgi file for writing.");
&lock;
print FILE qq!%vars_poll = (n!;
print FILE qq!UbbPoll => "$in{UbbPoll}",n!;
print FILE qq!use_name => "$in{use_name}",n!;
for (@sortforums) {
@forum_line = split(/|^|/, $_);
$forum_yesno = "forum_$forum_line[8]";
print FILE qq!$forum_yesno => "$in{$forum_yesno}",n!;

}
print FILE qq!);nn1;n!;
&unlock;
close (FILE);

chmod(0777, "$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_poll.cgi");


&cp_confirm("Poll Settings Updated");
exit;

}

it works - only in the comments are the usernames normal. (include "´" ..) ???

2) and i can´t edit the comments - if make a update ....

can't anyone help me?

cp works now, but when I click the New Topic button it shows a blank page.

melder - im still lookin into it, sorry im very busy atm.

mewtwo - make sure you uploaded public_new_poll_form.pl to your templates dir.

thanks jordo. I had uploaded it in the wrong dir.

https://ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=001256

not sure if this is the polling feature he was talking about

Wow, what a kick ass poll dude, thanks!

For all of you who get a blank page, it's because you are reading the instructions too closely!

He left off one of the files to upload, and once you upload it (it's the public_new_poll_form.pl), you will not have a blank page anymore.

Try it! This poll rocks.
I know it's not supposed to, but if I somehow figure out a way to incorporate a poll button from the main page, then this poll will be superb.

It seems that adding the Calendat hack has killed the poll hack....It was working fine, and after adding the calendar hack, I forgot to check polls before I put it on the live site.

I redid the poll hack twice from scratch and I can modify settings in the control panel, and when I create a new thread the poll option is there...but when I select poll and the number of options it just returns me to the new thread, and never takes me to the new pool page.

Anyone else have this issue, or have any idea what I can do to fix it.

I'm on v6.04 and my board is at www.netwerkin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

XPerT - does the current calendar hack modify the file: public_new_topic.pl? i dont know how much it has changed since i worked on it. if it does that may be the problem. if not, make sure you added the line to that file correctly (in particular, replaced the FORM line), and also that ultimatebb.cgi is correctly hacked.

Thanks for your reply, it turns out it was my fault. I moved the submit new topic button right below the text box, and it never got to the point of reading the check box so it didn't know I wanted to do a poll. I really liked having the submit button there, but UBB obviously didn't.

u have edit ...

i´m still waiting ...

BUG !!!

public name in CP 4 votes - do NOT work !!!

I noticed he left it out. I uploaded it. But to the wrong dir.

zip updated with a new ubb_poll_lib.cgi that writes data in a better manner (old data is compatible and will not be lost). simply upload the new file, overwriting the old lib.

melder - what do you mean? the only place the names should show up is in the comments. and they should be whichever you selected in the CP...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread, but when people using Opera view the polls the see broken nbsp tags.

There are some in the instruction text that are missing the ; at the end.

ERROR !!!
print this: q~choice_0~ => q~aaaaaaaq~choice_1~ => q~sssssss

this part don´t work right in ubb 6.01

I´m running under UBB v6.05 and have this Failure Message..

http://www.board4all.net/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=19&t=000108

Can anybody help me?

Here is the Poll File:

Thanx...

sorry i left out some quotes in the lib file. redownload and reupload ubb_poll_lib.cgi, then delete the offending .poll file off the server, and all should be fine.

Thanx at first..

But the next Problem is, that if you have an large Posting, over 4 Lines, theres no Poll and the Posting will be createt with only 4 Lines of Text.. (without the Poll)

Sorry for my English..

Thanx again..

Eraser911 - redownload the zip file and upload ubb_poll_lib.cgi, overwriting the old one. i added a quick fix - thanks to LK - that may be causing the problem for you.

i am getting these two errors


can someone please give me some assistance as to what i could possible do

UBBRULES - did you just recently (past 3 or 4 days) download and install it, or did you download the zip before then?

awhile ago

Did you fix the nbsp's that were missing the ; at the end?

They showed up in each poll when a user viewed them in Opera.

no i have not touched the nbsp's

infact can you please tell me what nbsp's and opera is all i know is that i can't figure out why it says what it says

Thank you very much for your hastily quick assistance

UBBRULES - xpert was talkin to me dont sweat it. redownload the zip file from the original post, and upload the file ubb_poll_lib.cgi from the zip, then delete the .poll file that is causing a problem. this should fix the errors.

xpert - i dont think i have yet in this one, ill look/do it tonight.

They didn't show up in IE or NS...just Opera.

Great hack by the way!

yep fixed in the zip. just reupload public_poll_display.pl

Thank you very much for all your help,

It now works thanx to your intelligence hope you keep up the good work...

Another excellent hack Jordo!

Works like a charm on my site.

Keep up the great work.

Chris
