Installing right now. I will get back to you..

So far all is working well!! One suggestion, if you want me to I could document it, but I think there should be an option in style templates to change the bar gif and such. If you would like any help creating it I would be glad to save you the time.

Question: When creating a new topic with a poll, where do you put the options for each option for the poll? Because whenever I click create Poll and put 3 options. I get this:

You did not fill out all options.

well if you create a poll with 3 options(by putting a 3 in the box on the new topic page), you will need to fill in all three of the options and the question on the subsequent page. ill add the bar gifs to the style templates sometime (i have it all doc'd up cause i did the same type of thing in sticky threads, so it wont be a problem).

so the sequence for posting a poll is:
1) click new topic button
2) fill in topic subject and message like normal, click the checkbox next to Add Poll, enter a number of options and click the submit button (Add Topic button).
3) fill in poll question and options (all must be filled in), and click submit - your post and your poll will then both be made.

Nevermind, works now.

Are you sure? I can easily add it right now... and then send you the doc.

I'd also like to help in any way. Wordlets maybe??

Looking good Jordo :)I can help with the xhtml, I seem to be getting a good amount of practice with it

I may wait until you've gotten some more bugs worked out, at least until the public template pages are pretty stable.

I have installed this and it is working (so far).

Looks good.

One thing I noticed that needs a very small fix (I figure everyone has fixed it and just did not say anything about it.)

in ubb_new_topic.cgi

Number of Poll Options: );

should have a

after the "3">

so it would look like this:

Number of Poll Options:

);

otherwise the Show Sig line is on the same line as the poll options

by "controlling where you can post" does this mean that you can control what forums you are allowed to post a poll in? that's the kind of control i'm dying to see

Exactly what you can do.

jordo, was just wondering if you got my zip on the wordlets and such...

I'll be installing this on a test site soon and will send you the xhtml-ized template files asap

Allen, you don't have too. I just finished that. Jordo, if you would like them please tell me.

thanks to some great work by tech-ni-kal zips are updated to v1.8.

Jordo,

Whats required to up grade from 1.7 to 1.8?

Thanks!

Right.. :rolleyes: That kinda pisses me off.

Hey man, I told him you helped...

helped? pretty much re-did all the html to xhtml it was so messy I did not even know what to do with it.

You never told me that...

ummmm.. aren't both of you the same ones LK had to give some pointers to for basic xhtml construction?... play nice

like allen said play nice. i thought you just checked over the XHTML gamer, didnt know you helped, so thank you for doing what you did . heh, and if my html was sloppy, dont blame me, its the exact format of Ubb templates html...

youll want to rehack everything, and reupload everything. sorry, but because of wordlets being added it needs to be completely reinstalled to go from 1.7-1.8

k, no trouble here. I am just peachy.

Yes, sorry. We will play nice.

An error has occured:

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

I got this error, can anybody help?

[HF]Phoenix - this happens on a poll you have created before anyone has voted?

Re-Hack ultimatebb.cgi and you should be fine.

This happens, when I want to create a poll...but when i will be back from work today, i'll re-hack ultimatebb.cgi

this is happening to me too (when attempting to create a poll)...

I am installing the MOD in beta 1.2

I have hacked, re-hacked, and re-hacked ultimatebb.cgi to no avail

It might have been overlooked but they are syntax errors in ubb_lib_poll.cgi (the stock file that is required - not an edited file)

[ August 07, 2001: Message edited by: CaCoffin ]

the code prior to line 157 is

code:

---

Code

	&StandardHTML(qq!$vars_wordlets_err{not_logged_in}

 <a href="$vars_config
{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=login">$vars_wordlets{login_now}</a>!); 
}

---

If it is changed to:

code:

---

Code

	&StandardHTML(qq!$vars_wordlets_err{not_logged_in}

 <a href="$vars_config
{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=login">$vars_wordlets{login_now}</a>

!); 
}

---

the syntax error there disappears however several other errors now pop up:

soooooooo I don't know if that was the syntax error or if I am just creating other errors by changing the placement of the !

just thought I would add that v1.7 of the poll MOD works with beta 1.2 with no problems

im installing beta 1.2 right now to test/bugfix.

thanks jordo... I'd like to help with the testing once you've gotten a few of the majors worked out

ok redownload the zip and reupload ubb_poll_lib.cgi. it seems there was some out of place (X)HTML.

Allen - despite the little hiccup here i think this one is fairly stable/bugfree. as a lot of the major stuff got worked out in the 6.0x version.

cool.. we'll give it a shot tomorrow night then, my eyes are crossing

ya i hit that point about an hour ago :

Hi there, did the hack, but cp.cgi is coming up blank....
Any idea where to start looking?

Stang5_0 - if you mean that when you go to the Poll CP it comes up blank, then you need to make sure cp_vars_poll.pl is uploaded to the Templates directory in ASCII mode.
if you mean that the main Control Panel Page is coming up blank, then check that everything was added correctly in cp.cgi and also in cp_common.pl.

Ok, I have integrated your update and it all works fine now with beta 1.2 except for one thing.

It has killed the Wordlets menu. The menu itself is there but when I try to select ANY option on the Wordlets menu I get this error:

Bad name after wordlets_cp' at /home/iambornagainru/cgi-bin/ubb/cp_wordlets.cgi line 79.
