UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] UbbIntegratedPoll 1.9

Err, why are my polls/results center-alligned ? How can I change them to left-alligned ?

I have a minor problem (major to me) and I was wondering if you could help. Click here for a screenshot.

If I send you my public_topic_page and my modified public_poll_display pages do you think you can help me get rid of that extra blue stripe above the poll section?

Thanks.

hmmmm problem with poll

I start a poll and i deleter the thread

When i start a new topic he is a poll ??

why ?

how delete poll ?

Cobra - i would download the zip file, and upload the file ubb_poll_lib.cgi to your server, it is possible that he used an old version that has a bug in it. do not apply the multihack at this point, afaik it will just double the code since it is already there.


mrnewbie - make sure you have all the latest templates before applying this hack. iirc this happens when a 6.0x template (cp_add_new_style.pl or something like that) is used with 6.1.x.

Morpheus - it would have to be code in cp_common.pl. remove the additions this hack makes to that file and see if it works, if it still does not then compare it to a stock file, as you may have accidentally deleted something.

steamfish81 - all the html is in the templates file, in particular, public_poll_display.pl. you can add center tags in there, look for html code following a line like "sub results {" of something of that sort. should be fairly straightforward.

XPerT - you cannot send ubb files. you most likely have an extra

Does this hack work with 6.2 beta release?

I've got the Polls working on beta 6.2....well for the most part. The only problem I've encountered, which may be a universal problem, is the polls do not work properly when viewing and writing of posts are restricted to Administrators, the forum Moderator, and other authorized* users.

Has anyone else had this problem with 6.1?

Thanks

sorry i havent had a chance to test it on 6.2 yet, but i will.

can you describe the problem that occurs? afaik there is no such problem when using it with 6.1.0, but more information would be helpful

Thanks Jordo for the Code -- works beautifully on V6.1.0.3

Does anyone have a multihack file for this?? I need one for the latest version of multihack. I am too lazy to install this huge mod, that is why I need it.

this hack work very fine in public forum

but in private forum he dont work correctly

somebody have this problem ??

Jordo,
Here's the scope.

When the forum is made completely private (in the bb CP by checking off "Restrict Viewing and Writing of Posts To Administrators, the forum Moderator, and other authorized* users" in the details section for a particular forum), not all polling functionality works properly ie. all votes cast for that poll are not recognized.

I believe I have found the source to the problem. Forums that are made private create a sub dir within the main forum dir (main dir: Forum#, sub dir name: private-whatever), the initial .poll file is created within the private-whatever dir. Once a vote is cast, the vote gets written to a new .poll file within the main forum dir Forum#. This is what causes the conflict.

The .poll file within the sub dir, private-whatever is what is called on when displaying current poll results. It is inacurate because it never changes. Only the second .poll file (which shouldn't even be there) within the main forum dir, Forum#, is updated with new poll votes.

Since I've pretty much narrowed it down, I'm sure this will be an easy fix. If I get the time, I might even put my novice skills to the test and try to fix it myself. If I do, I'll be sure to post the fix here.

Otherwise, great job on this hack!

Thanks

Gridlock, why doesn't your board have an Infopop copyright?

It was accidentally removed when I intergrated the forum into my web site design. Don't worry it's on the to do list

The exact path is constructed when you vote, so it should be writing to the .poll file in the private subdir. on viewing your test board, i notice that the test account has already voted in that poll... have you done something to change it here? or was the test account able to vote and have their vote recorded properly?

Woo Hoo! Just fixed it!

In ubb_poll_lib.cgi

Find (three times)
if ($permission eq 'private') {

Replace With
if ($permission =~ m/private/) {

And thats it!

well now thats what i call testing. file updated with fixes, thank you.

Hi all,

Quick question. Can the polls be added to the sidebar area if you want or only in posts.

Thanks

Rainner

kamli - redownload the zip and reupload ubb_poll_lib.cgi

When I try to use the MultiHack file, MultiHack tells me that the file is created in an earlier version and is not supported....




Any suggestions?

Jordo i'm still getting the same error .......

/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/home.com/cgi-bin/ubb_poll_lib.cgi: syntax error at /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/home.com/cgi-bin/ubb_poll_lib.cgi line 172, near "$permission ~"

i checked the ubb_poll_lib.cgi
and this is the section thats causing the problem
sub do_vote {
my(@choice,$new_total,$comment_num);

my $type = param('type');
my $vote = param('vote');
my $comment = param('comment');
my $username = param('username');
my $forum = param('forum');
my $thread = param('thread');

my @this_forum = &GetForumRecord($forum);

my $permission = $this_forum[6];
my $exact_path = "Forum$forum";
##line 172## if ($permission ~= m/private/) { $exact_path .= "/private-$this_forum[7]";
}

&RequireVars("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/$exact_path/$thread.poll");

unless ($vote) {

i hope this can help to identify the problem

cheers

you did not upload the new ubb_poll_lib.cgi, please do that.

jordo i upeed the ubb_poll_lib.cgi file and then i got this error ....
i hope its the same file on page 1 of this post....

let me know if u want me to do something else

thanks a lot for helping .......

ok i updated the zip when i replied previously (4 replies before this) and the code you posted is not from the updated version. so... redownload the zip and upload ubb_poll_lib.cgi.

this works! excellent!

the current problem is lack of sleep and fast typing

hi jordo ..........

i got the hack to work ......
the updated ubb_poll_lib.cgi works pefectly fine ...

thanks

Erm, maybe I'm really dumb but I can't for the life of me download the zip file from http://www.jordodesigns.com/UbbIntegratedPoll6.1.x.zip

It appears the file isn't there?!

If anybody could email the latest version of the hack to [email protected] I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

try again Red Cafe, its there.

It's because there is a redirection. Try http://www.cs2.addr.com/jordo/UbbIntegratedPoll6.1.x.zip

Question. Been reading through the thread and it's hard to tell. Does this now work with the acclerator or not? I saw Jordo refer to ultimatebb.php in one post but in the directions it makes no mention of that file. Just curious because as I have it, it won't work with the accelerator and seems people do have it working right with it. I must have missed something.

Can anyone help us regarding whether this works with the acc?

BTW - I have created a MultiHack file for this version. It will work if you have Sticky Threads installed or not. This is based on Version 2.0, which the zip file is, and not 1.9.

You can grab a copy of it here.

I have tested it on 6.1.0.4

Not sure if one of the mods would like to upload it to the database here.

Whilst I do not have the time to make hacks, I can build MultiHack files, and make them available to others.

Regards,

Ian

Jordo, to get it to work with PHP and 6.2:[code][/code]

[ 01-23-2002 10:01 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

LK - which file would this be in? Would this work with php & 6.1.0.4 or just 6.2?

BTW - the multihac version linked on page one, is for the older version, my multichack version is for 2.1.

Regards,

Ian
