UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? 6.4 Polls Not Working Correctly

I just upgraded to 6.4 full from b1 and I ran into a nasty problem. When a user posts a poll regardless if they tinker with the "Start Poll Time", the poll will not let anyone vote for 5 days. How do I fix this?

Bug. Line 1070 of addpost.php looks like this:

$starttime = $starttime - ($config['adjusttime'] * 86400);

Try changing that to this:

$starttime = $starttime - ($config['adjusttime'] * 3600);

It may need more tweaking than that, so if still doesn't let you vote until a couple of hours, let me know.

It's still off a few hours, I beleive by 8 hours.

What's your server time offset in the config file?

-4 Currently

Ok, go ahead and make this change. After this:

if ($addpoll && $questions) {

Delete everything up to the point where it says $validstart=checkdate($month,$day,$year);

And add this:




So, basically what you end up with is this:

So should eberyone make this change or?

I did

// ---------------------
// Are we adding a poll?
if ($addpoll && $questions) {
include("$thispath/addpost_newpoll.php");
}

would be nice but the inertaional version didn't have that line in the addpost.php

Also in the international version when seting the main index to categories only.. you do not get the numbers in red like you do on Josh's Board...

Yes It is as 6.4 so far was only released in an international version and who said anything about an INCLUDE anywhere in this?? Me thinks its coffee time.

Here is the code your searching for in addpost.php

// -------------------------------------------------
// If there is a poll in this post we need to add it
if ($addpoll && $questions) {
$starttime = "0";
if ($ampm == "PM") { $hour = $hour + 12; }
$starttime = mktime($hour,$min,0,$month,$day,$year);
$starttime = $starttime - ($config['adjusttime'] * 86400);
$validstart = checkdate($month,$day,$year);

and you replace it with this

// -------------------------------------------------
// If there is a poll in this post we need to add it
if ($addpoll && $questions) {
$starttime = "0";
if ($ampm == "PM") { $hour = $hour + 12; }
if (!$enablestart) {
$starttime = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year);
}
else {
$starttime = mktime($hour,$min,0,$month,$day,$year);
}
$validstart = checkdate($month,$day,$year);

And... the All Languages Version I downloaded... doesn't have that line.. in fact heres my addpost.php

Just to let ya know.. I did a beyond compare and the files from and the ubbthreads-6-4-all-langs.tar.gz I downloaded on December 5th and the ubbthreads-6-4-all-langs.tar.gz I downloaded on December 8th are different... Not only is the addpost.php changed to reflect the change scream said above but they fixed the altertable.. also in the one I downloaded on the 5th there was two files one called oc_login.php and one called temp.php also in the addpost.php there was a line stripping the icons url but in the Dec 8th that is now gone..

the ubbthreads-6-4-english.tar.gz I downloaded on the 8th is the same as the ubbthreads-6-4-all-langs.tar.gz I downloaded on the 8th Minus the langauge files and it also differes from the ubbthreads-6-4-all-langs.tar.gz I downloaded on the 5th..

the one on the 5th did NOT have this line if ($addpoll && $questions) {

so in 3 days they altered the file this much...

I would say not.

The file I am giving you the code from was downloaded Friday the fifth. I have not gone back and redownloaded any zip until Rick posts 6.4.1. The code I gave is indeed from the addpost.php on Friday. Unless that is you downloaded something after I did I know I was one of the first downloads.

well... Im looking at two zips.. one downloaded the 5th and one downloaded last nite... so unless some Keebler Elves came in and turned on my PC and rezipped em they are different...

the poll have a problem with start and stop times. I try to report it on Infopop. If you set Start time and stop time you can submit a vote bevor the poll is startet. The polls tells you that you have voted. If start time reached you are not able to vote and if stop time reached you are not able to view a result. I try this with a 5 minute test poll. Can anyone verify this ? I run an 24h system not 12am/pm
