hey i have another error that has caused my forum's polls to cease working
it is

jordo, the script works great, thanks! But I do have one issue, I'd like to permit all members to make polls without manually granting permission to each one. Is there a way i can do this? Or at least automatically grant future members this permission?

Grummel - so when someone deletes a reply in a thread, the forum page still shows the last replier as the person who deleted their msg? im not too sure that could be related to this hack, as none of those routines were touched, but some more details of the problem would be helpful.

UBBRULES - as soon as i have a chance im gonna go over the way data is stored (dont worry old polls will still work). it looks like a ' is causing the problem, but the way data is stored it should not be. give me a day or two as i have to reinstall a 6.05 test board first.

insanemonkey - ya there should be a "anyone can post a poll" option in your cp.

tx - fine - now its working ... [´]


little bug - if u hide the results and show the threat without register u become a error.

test it

No you missunderstand me

I mean if somebody delete his post and is was the last on this thread. the forum page still display that he had post his posting, although its alraedy deleted.

clear?

all right cool maybe something with using member #s instead of names would be nice

Oh crap someone help me out!

I just added these polls but after I did in control panel when I thought it was working ok I went to go to Misc. Settings to turn the board back on but the option for Misc. settings is GONE!! I think it got replaced with the Poll Settings option!

HELP!

FAST

Ramprage

UBBRULES - do you have a member with a tilde (~) in his name?? that should not be possible as 6.0x checks on registration for such characters and blocks them. if it was just that he put a tilde in his comment, then upgrade to 1.8 and delete that poll file (or go in and put a in front of the tilde in the middle of that line).


zip updated to version 1.8

changes
fixes for tildes in data corrupting poll files.
security fixes (no html allowed).
code trimming and misc minor bugfixes.
html in ubb_poll_lib.cgi brought to XHTML compliance.

to upgrade (from version 1.7)
reupload ubb_poll_lib.cgi, overwriting the old.
rehack ubb_new_topic.cgi.

Thankyou the poll works great (so far i just tested) on my board.

I have a couple of questions

first the email notification works only when someone reply to the poll and does not work when someone vote

second the reply count shoul increae when somepost shouldn't it? (if not take it as a suggestion )

Third i really like it !!

Jordo i just realise that your hack is a two in one hit !
I didn't have any option for email notification when someone post a normal topic and now is there and working after i installed your poll hack

what a nice bonus !

Overflow !

overflow - heh email notification shouldnt be changed with this hack, but if its workin, hey thats cool
ive thought about raising the reply count, but i dont want to do that because it would be a bit of a problem with the thread files. i may do like i did in the version for ubb 6.1.0 and make it bump a thread to the top when you vote. well see how much time i have.

thankyou

jordo i get this message when i try to rebuilt the search index in the cp after using your hack....
i also use the sticky tread with it.

is that the problem?
everything else work great !

Overflow

overflow - look in one of your forum directories. do you see any files that end in .cgi that dont begin with a long number?

sorry jordo I found the problem and was totally my fault !
i try to edit the poll comment in the cgi and i probably stuff things up as after i deleted the poll everything was fine

Thank you

Overflow

Hi Jordo.. I installed the Poll Hack .. But cant seem to get the poll to run. I see the button in post msg I can post the (well almost) the poll. but it ask's for fields? are there any further instructions that I missed? Please help

the board is www.votervoices.com
The Poll is at
http://www.votervoices.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1

Thanks in advance

Allen, Jordo, anyone? I did it again, I did another hack, Stand alone poll UBBPolls::v6Beta3

Well this one installed without a hitch(I think)
Found the settings in CP set a poll (well 2) and this is what I got..
http://www.votervoices.com/cgi-bin/ubb_poll.cgi

Am I thick? or did I just miss something.. Please help.

VV
P.S. I think I should have put this one under a different thread.. sorry.. they are kinda related.

VV - it looks like you mostly got this one installed right, as i can see the Poll: title in the forumdisplay. youll want to check however, the code that you added in ubb_get_topic.cgi. make sure you replaced the code that you were supposed to replace in that file, as well as added the portion to public_topic_page.pl.

Thanks Jordo: will check.
VV

Thanks Jordo.. My goof.. its works.. sweet

VV

Anyone got a working link to this? It appears Jordo's site is down.

damn ghetto site. hehe grab it here till the main one is back up, or untill i redirect the domain.

Thanks Jordo, much appreciated

Just installed the hack, Works perfectly. Nice hack jordo.

Nice job, Jordo. Got it installed perfectly and it looks good, very impressed.

Just got one quick question...

The poll options display in Times Roman rather than the font for the board (Verdana). Is there anywhere I can change this? Or did I miss something in the install?

You didn't miss anything, just some tags are missing. In public_poll_display.pl and ubb_poll_lib.cgi make sure there are FONT tags before the text.

Hi,

First of all thanks for the mod, both I and my members really enjoy it.

Unfortunately I have come across a bug. When a user votes who has a ' (single quote) in his loginname, the poll dies.

See ya, Marcel

I have many hacks installed on my board and this one went without a hitch..Excellent job jordo, excellent job!! Very professional looking results when viewing poll..I would recommend this hack to anyone interested in this type of hack. Very impressive..Thanks again jordo..

i was looking to update my version of this

jordo did you not pay your bill? 'cause your site isnt working

I have searched thru the 10 pages and only found 1 comment on hiding the results. I couldn't find anything else on this. Is it possible to do as I don't see any option in the CP for it.

I basically want the person making the poll to be able to choose to show or hide the results and only that person, or the admin, can change it then.

Is it possible?

I am running 6.04d

jordo

Slight problem with 1.8 running on UBB 6.04f.

The BB allows unregistered users to post topics in most forums. With the Poll set to "Allow only Admins and Mods to post polls", the Poll prevents unregistered users from creating topics (says their username cannot be found).

Have I missed something or is there a way that I can patch this?

Thanks..

In the # show poll? section in UBB_NEW_TOPIC.CGI, could I merely put..

.. around the Poll code to prevent this problem?

Thanks..

[ 10-31-2001: Message edited by: Asprin ]

no probs sofar...

Sorry. But, is your post in reference to the unregistered user problem that I posted.. and it's possible solution?

no sorry, i have no idea about the problems your encountering, i just installed the hack, and myself haven't had any problems yet.

tho i have a question: how do i change the font size of the poll? My poll font sets the font size to 3...i want it to be 1. where do i change this?

Asprin - yes that will work fine, when i do an update ill include something to that effect, but for now that code will do it for you.

Bazz - its come to my attention that ive missed a lot of font tags in this version (ive been concentrating on the 6.1.0 version) so when i have the time to go through and do an update ill add those. in the meantime, public_poll_display.pl contains 95% of the html used to display the polls, so you can add font tags in there.

Thx Jordo Great hack still, keep it up.

as you can see i managed to change the view results and the edit poll fonts (not so hard ), but where do i put the font tags for the poll option....the bigger font in the picture (i hope you guys can see it)...thanks in advance.
