Please do not post links to the file or email it. Simply wait till the file is back up...I like to track the popularity of the hack, so removing the link ASAP would be most appreciated.

Ooops. Very sorry about that Andy. Won't happen again. I guess there's a reason why the link is "down". You must be adding more features to it. Cool.

Anyone get it to work on an NT yet?

Thanks,

I'm having a problem that I hope you can help me with. Everything *appears* to be working fine until I try to vote. Then I get a "document contains no data" error. There are three files in the data folder... id.count, members.cgi, and polls info. All the pertinent info is in these files. There's a "poll" directory which contains two files, a data file and a track file. I've chmoded the ubb-poll directory and data directory at 777. Admin.cgi and poll.cgi are set at 755, UltPoll.setup, functions.pl, and UBBPoll.pl are set at 777. Do you have any idea what the problem may be?

Thanks!

Hi all,

The poll looks awesome on the pages I've seen!

Unfortunately I'm a newbie and having problems from what I don't really know...

Running on a hosted site on a Unix server

Tried creating a directory - but all it ended up doing was asking me if i wanted to download a file when i tried opening the admin cgi file. (transferred as asci...yes)
and my perl path was right...

Then I tried just uploading the cgi files into my cgi-bin which seemed to work until i submitted then i got a permissions error - no files were created - i checked for the member file.

Messed around with CHMODs even set everything to 777 - still didn't work...

[Linked Image]

The hack looks so great - I'm anxious for some help

Thanks a bunch!

I think I know what your problem is and I hope that someone can fix it.

My first 3 polls were a success, but when I created my fourth poll I got this error.

The problem is that i made the answers for the poll like this:

a) hjdfjkdhfk
b) hfjdhjfkd
c) hfdhgkj

You can NOT use the characters ().

I know you have to change something in line 207 from poll.cgi. You'll probably have to add qq(...) but I don't know the exact way to do it.

Can someone please help?

print qq~~;

Next, find the line "

#else { print qq~~; }

Replace it with:

Phil, I replied to your email. ...But for those who would also like to remove the last column, here's how to do it:

----------------------------
in UBBPoll.pl, find (at the bottom of the page)

close(OPTIONSREAD);
print qq~
" in the same file and change COLSPAN=3 to COLSPAN=4. That should remove the extra column.

Hope it works for you...

Hi ya folks,

Finally got this thing to work on an NT server. Well, sorta...

From my previous posts, I haven't been able to get this to run because I was not getting the UBB Poll Setup Form to come up. So, I looked at the admin.cgi. I'm not a cgi/programmer but in looking at the code, I saw the condition

Code
code:

The last line says that if $size is = 2, run the Setup Form. So, for kicks, I figured I'd just replace the line

-s "Ultpoll.setup" with "2"

I uploaded the file and called admin.cgi.

Voila!!! the form came right up.

After entering the necessary info, I clicked on the Setup button and the system said that it was completed successfully. I checked the data directory and found the members.cgi.

Next, I tried to add a poll but couldn't. Clicking that Add Poll, Delete Poll, or any of the links gave me the Setup Form. Ooops, have to change the condition of $size. I restored it to -s "Ultpoll.setup", reuploaded the file, and I was able to access the rest of the UBB Poll links.

BTW, I didn't have to do the tip that was suggested by Phillip at scriptkeeper of using FindBM.

I followed Andy's directions in the install.txt file plus the tip he gave on page 2 I think about the change to the Ultpoll.setup file.

Then did the "work around" to make the Setup Form appear.

I hope this helps the other folks here trying to run this on an NT. Admittedly not the most elegant way to get it to work, but at least it runs. =)

Thanks,
Errol

I definately had to replace all ";id=" with "&id=" else it would not work. Strange, because on F2S (where a shadow version of my board is just for testing) it DID work. I think it has to do with the Perl version.

I have 2 other remarks:

1.) Why are we not allowed to change the poll files in the map 'data'? I hate it! I lost total control over these files, I don't have the permissions to do anything with them.

2.) The poll rounds all numbers down. (don't know if this is correct English, so example: 14,9% becomes 14% and 53,9% becomes 53%. When You have a lot of answers and you add all percentages you wind up losing 6% of the result! Can this be changed?

Best regards,

CT.

(Grrrrrrr...... I demand a recount!)

hehe on your english.. you were close, but hell.. ive heard people whos english is much much much worse.. and english is their native language!!!!

should read like 58.9% [Linked Image] in case you wanted to know.

As for your 2nd remark... Im not a perl programmer.. i work with C/C++ so its close enough... The way it sounds, the poll doesnt have floating poit support. Its probably only using integers (whole numbers between -32k to 32k if memory serves) I may be wrong, but thats what im thinking.. If precision is what you want, them bug atom to include FP support [Linked Image]

I havent had a chance to install this yet.. but im hoping i wont run across all the problems everyone else has

Using ; is supposed to be the standard now, however it could be that some web servers have difficulty with it (if it hasn't been implemented). It shouldn't have anything to do with Perl versions, though I could be wrong.

I'm either very tired or I burned out too many brain cells as a youth. I've tried this install on my UBB (5.47b) and can not get it to work at all. I just get the standard 500 Internal Server Error. I created a directory in my cgi-bin (ubbpoll Chmod777) and created a data directory within that (data chmod777) I uploaded the 4 files into the ubbpoll dir. in ascii, and chmoded IAW the instructions. (perl path is correct, ubb cgi path is correct, and I tried functions.pl flock yes and no) I'm running on a Unix box.

This seems like such a simple hack to install, yet here I am???

Thanks for any and all help.

Atom911,
I've installed mods and hacks in the past, but this one is driving me nuts. I keep getting the error "Premature end of script headers: /home/usr84/cgi-bin/ubbpoll/admin.cgi"
when I try to run admin.cgi for the first time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get rid of the other cgi polls I have on my site.

UBB'er for life!!
(look 2 post up to see the steps I performed)
I'm running perl 5.00404

Worked first time for me !! Don't know what all the problems are !

Just a few questions :

1) Any way to make the votes private ? i.e. so you can't see who voted what!

2) How do I move it to below my private message inbox / online users. Tried to move the code down , but just got text printed instead of the graphics ?

3) Any chance of making the whole graphics that bit smaller ?? Put username / vote etc in a horizontal line and have a popup with the result graphs on it !! Just a thought !

thx , Great Hack [Linked Image]

Statix,
The file size difference you refered to is normal. The whole file is there.

I still haven't been able to get this to work in 5.47b. Guess I'll wait for 6.0 and try again.

something i thought i'd mention...

when registering an admin for the polls do not use carrets (^) in the user name. It seems regexps and carrets dont mix!

when i tried it it wouldn't accept my user at all, i ended up manually removing the carret from the poll users list.

Hmm well I to em having a problem with this hack.. I mean by the looks of it, it seems like the easiest hack... I wanna know which of the add on files do I have to change to get it to actually work... Also the code in Ultimate.cgi what do I put in for the path.. I tried CGIURL this ubb that.. Still no luck!!! Unfortunately I'm about to watch another of WCW's flop PPV's and I hope to get this hack to work tonight. Cause it's a nice ass hack..

Anyway of making the hack options accessible through the control pannel.. Like adding new hacks through there and changing them and so on???

Ok I got it to show up on Ultimate.cgi. But now I can't get admin.cgi to open in my browser, and when I click on Vote, View Comments, All Polls. It says URL not found on this server...

I just need to know what to do to the add ons. The instructions weren't to clear on that.. According to them I did everything.. Can someone please please tell me which of the add on files, like admin.cgi, poll.cgi or UBBPoll.pl, Functions.pl and UltPoll.setup which of them do I have to add something or change..

Cause I tried playing with the poll.cgi?action= line by putting $CGIURL in front of those and all that... Maybe if someone can paste which their copy of which add on needs to be changed I can do it... Most likely no one will ever reply to this... But if so........ I NEEEED YA HELP DESPERATELY!!!

Having problems with this one as well. I've seen it work elsewhere and it's really nice.
My problems are almost identical to errol's (also on NT server). Once I submit my first poll, I just get a blank screen and nothing else.

Any help appreciated. [Linked Image]

I'm having the exact same problem with my NT-based install of the Poll. I get the 'Add poll' form to come up, but after filling in the forms and pressing 'submit', i get a blank page...and nothing else.

If I then try to 'Open' poll, it says it cannot find 'polls.info.' It can't find it because it is not there.

-Really- wracking my brain here and any help would be appreciated.

Hi ]km[,

You may want to read through my "work around" on page 3 of this thread. Sounds like you are getting the same screens I was getting before. Hope it works for you.

Thanks,
Errol
