Description: This is a thread-integrated ubb poll script that allows your members to start polls with new threads and have other members vote on the poll. There is also the ability for them to leave coments in the thread when they vote.
The option/ability to have UBBPolls only work in certain forum. Anotherwards an option when you edit a forum or create one is to have the ability to turn it on or off for that thrad.
It would be totally kewl if it also had an option that would like rate something.. Option to turn off for certain forums and such. And when posting the Poll you have a choice to add an image and get it rated.. I know it could be done but it would look so much betta as a Poll kind of thing..
If I'm not mistaken you have HTML or UBB Code Enabled for you forums. If you want to rate a photo, create a poll then in the message body rate this image: [ImageCode]
Adding restrictions to which forums have the polls enabled is possible, but it will require a bit more overhead. I'll put it on the TODO list.
Another possibility would be to have the title of the poll be different than the title of the topic. If that was an editable option, you could put your image as the title. That way the image becomes part of the poll table. That is an interesting possibility!
Hey Ryan, just a note to say that the poll Melder started here and I moved to chit chat never showed up in chit chat, even after refreshing the screen a couple of times.
edit: nevermind, it showed up after someone else posted in that forum in another thread... leetle bug then
The 'new poll' image won't show up. I have named it the right file name in the Style Templates and it still will no work. Instead the Style Templates does not save it and it stays blank everytime.
Next, everytime someone votes or replies, it gets double posted.
Anybody else having these problems and does anyone know how to fix?
You know that actually happened to me. Allen do you know why this is?
I just went in and put the entry in the for the poll image (which is BBPoll) in the style files. That is a temporary fix.
Is it double voting or double posting. If it is double posting you added a particular block rather than replacing it. In looking at the install directions you probably errored in the second to last step of the ubb_new_reply.cgi section.
Definitely check to make sure you did everything right in the ubb_new_reply.cgi, that is where you error is coming from.
[*](the only real bug) Sometimes it's "Voting With No Comment" and sometimes it's "VotingWithNoComment". I changed everything to "Voting With No Comment" and it worked.
[*]In ubb_forum.cgi, $vars_style{BBTopic} is duplicated (instead of once {BBTopic} and once {BBPoll}), and it uses $vars_wordlets{post_new_topic}.
[*]In ubb_lib.cgi, the icon has $vars_wordlets{post_new_poll}, which doesn't exist.
[*]the name and everything is centered (it's just a little
in public_poll_page.pl).
[*]There is no title unless I use the custom title hack (it can be fixed by a little else)
[*]Its width isn't correct, so the text/poll doesn't start like the replies do (change width="90%" to width="100%" in public_poll_page.pl)
[*]The Registered: in the bottom doesn't have the registered information. (the most simple solution is BEFORE "# author info options", add $RegDateVote = $RegDate;, and then in ubb_poll_ssi.cgi, call $RegDateVote instead of $RegDate)
MasterMind is aligned to the center, there is no "Moderator" under him, "Registered:" has no text afterwards, and "Posts: 3225" (in the same line) isn't exactly above freakscene's icon.
I had the same problem, fixed it by adding BBPoll at the end of the line that starts
Code
code:
cp_styles.cgi and not after BBTopic
Dont ask why but it worked for me that way and not the other way.
One problem I do have is when I create a new style template there is no option to add the graphic, when i try and submit I get told I cant leave that field blank, I may of missed a bit of code so will double check when I get home
What I dont like is the Item #1 || Item #2 || Item #3....and so on. Would it be possible to create "X" amount of input boxes (X being how many poll options users are alowed to make).
The input boxes would be alot easier for newBs, as some [stupid] people get dumb and cant use the "||"s.
BTW, if im not mistaken, the thread integrated polls use "3d" table borders. Could you make it so the poll has borders that you set in the CP?
Also, letting the inside of the poll box (in a thread) be the opposite alternating table color??
Hope you understand what I was getting at, and thanks for listening to my ideas.
Just instaled it on my ubb6.04e(private)board,and everything seems to work with c.p and all but when doing a test poll the actuall poll don't show up in the post!?
Tryed to cmod the public_poll_page.pl to 755 and 777 but still no luck,and i have looked at my code but can't se any errors in my code hacking.
The format issues (width, centering, and registration date) were all left-overs from the format on my board.
I fixed all other bugs. I'll update the zip files as soon as I learn how to from allen!!
I'm not sure the "Vote With No Comment" and the "VoteWithNoComment" is really a bug, because I have those on my board and the poll works fine. However, for consistency, I'll change them!
You can either email them to me at info@ubbdev.com , or send me a link to them, or, if you think you'll be updating them often, I can link the first post to a copy you have...:)
i also installed, and have checked all my files over, and i get to "Post Topic" buttons on my pages and no "New Poll" buttons
in the style settings in the CP the correct icon shows up too
~~~also after i post a poll, the thread is all f'd up, the format of the page is nothing like any of the others~~~ thats cause WritePollOrBallotHere shows up in the post, not the poll at all
it also stopped my other poll hack working (u know the other allen one that its supposed to work with) It keeps saying You dont have permission to do this when trying to edit Poll from CP.
I got the same problem,i can't se the poll in the post + i got some software error when trying to reply to the poll post. Sorry to say that i dident copy the error page before i uploaded the backups:( Have tryed to insert the hack 2times now + i have looked at my code to be sure that there was nothing wrong.
Do i need to cmod the poll.pl file(can't remember the name) to something? I tryed 644,775,777 with no luck also tryed to clear cache.
right, i just hacked it 3 times! still same problem as XuDuX I solved my little other problem with the Previous Poll hack (uploaded wrong file DOH!) But anyways, anyone got any ideas? No polls are appearing at all! its just a normal thread, if u put a comment in, the commet appears, no poll. add no comment it puts in the thread 'Voting With No Comment' any ideas?
Yeah I got this problem too No Polls are showing up only the comments. I ca reply to it with out any probs.
Btw I got another bug or something like that in the thread overview in each forum, I don't have a post poll button but two post new topic buttons. But The one to the right is actually the post poll button. In the thread the post poll button works is there.
right new problems! when u vote, but make NO comment, it adds you to the thread and sez 'Voting With No Comment'. Is that ok? it seems wrong. surely u can vote without it saying Voting With No Comment. or is that just a feature. anyways, got the same prob as the rest of these kind people, 2 New Topic buttons!
*****EDIT****** SOLVED IT! FOR I AM GOD damn VotingWithNoComment should have spaces in em!
Cup o suggestions: ------------------------------------------ 1. Ability to show all the board's polls on one page
2. When a person votes, have it display what they voted for , not just the comment. For instance, I get comments that say "I agree" but no indication of what they voted on. -----------------------------------------
i've have thought about recording which option a person votes for, but doing so you loose the anonymity that some people might want or require.
anyway, an idea would be to make classes of polls: * Secret Polls * Open Polls * Polls w/ Write-In * Polls which you can change your vote * Polls that you can select more than one option. * etc.
If anyone is seriously interested in these varieties or have some other suggestions, I would consider coding them up.
My suggestion is to make any poll topics show up at the top of a topics (per forum) list in a style not unlike the original Who's Online script. Would look kind of sexy =).
Ideally you'd show the polls subject and also the total votes so far, keeping it simply, yet attractive. This should ONLY be for topic display pages, it might screw up on others due to some people (myself) using Cat's Only etc.
Doesnt WORK! well first of all the New Poll image isnt even showing.. and polls never show up... and it seems everyone is having the same problem. :rolleyes:
Read Cyberdude8472 series of post ifs you are having problems getting the post button to come up. Make sure that there is an entry in all your var_style_X.cgi files for BBPoll.
indoe: UBB Polls and Thread-Integrated Polls are quite different and exist independent of each other. You can probably use both if you'd like.
The rebuild bug was for the Search Index, I wasn't aware of a Forum Stat's Bug?? Anyway that's been fixed for a while and is included in the zip file.
Axel: You can adjust the size of the poll table in public_poll_page.pl file. You probably shouldn't mess too much around with the results table, but you can play around with the ballot table.
I'm going to added some variables so you can adjust the size of the results from the control panel. Currently if you increase the size of the results table, the bar graph will not take up the full width it's cell.
Yes ! I was stupid, I found the straight line on my keyboard and it is working fine.
I would like to make a suggestion, and that is, can you make this hack compatable with the Hide Forum hack ? When trying to make a poll in a hidden forum, I get the following message
Error -- Email Olson & Report the Following Error:
The C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ubbforum/ubb/Forum14/000006-vote.cgi file could not be opened because: No such file or directory.
The file is there, but I don't think the script can see it because of the way the Hide Forum hack works.
Many Thanks

see.. even Ellen is having the same prob.. anyone actually got this hack to work!? i really want this hack!! I have a 6.04e UBB.. and every other hack i've installed worked perfectly.. cept this one...
Everyone needs to make sure they have DPK's wordlet dev kit installed, seems to be a common problem in both poll script installs. You can find it here:
i thought i had it all working, clicked new poll button, went inside made a poll the thread had [Poll] at end and the discription, but the poll wasent there!!!
is DPK's thing ur talking about the same as the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi? i already have that installed.. unless DPK's is a different one. I'll try installing it again..
ok.. i have tried and tried and i'm pretty damm sure i hacked everything 100% correctly!! the New Poll image wont isnt showing and the poll doesnt show up either when you post it... someone please help me!!! heres the link to my board http://www.demobreakers.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
yes. there are two differnet places where you can download it, which might confuse you. qasic modified my kit, but the file on his site and my site are exactly the same. mirroring the same file i guess you could say.

ok kool.. i got it to work except not perfectly.. when i move a poll to another forum it disappears.. and hacks like Glow Name thing by Ramirez and Allow Admin to post HTML dont seem to take effect when you post a poll.. samething for avatar and my Rank name (Administrator) doesnt appear either.. but its kool. beta is beta
Afterlab: Simple solution. There are no spaces in between the bars when you create the poll.
You have Philly| |LA Lakers ... You need Philly||LA Lakers ...
Ruph The poll gets moved to the new location. I'll work on a way for it to look better after it has been moved. It will probably be a little graphic where the poll was saying ... "This polls has moved".
I also believe it says in the instructions that any modifications that you made to the public_topic_page.pl need to be made to the public_poll_page.pl. Do you have the lastest version?
Nah. They are not wrong. They just failed to mention, or perhaps they just didn't know, that you could totally skip that part in 6.0 and it will work. It did for me
Everything else in ultimatebb.cgi I followed to a T.
hey thanks olson! but that wasn't my MAIN problem, my big problem was that the bottom line (registered, posts, location, ip) was in the column with my avatar hack, member name, ratings and so on.. How am I suppose to fix it? I have tried soo many things that I am about to explode.
Anyone know why I get this long header message at the top of the poll when I call it via the exec cgi command on my main page. I get a similar thing in the whos online SSI hack as well. You can see the problem HERE ON MY HOMEPAGE . Anyone have any ideas on a fix for this? Also notice that the ubbnews which uses the same SSI call has no such header message.
afterlab: That is an issue with tables. You are missing a rowspan="2" in one of the
blocks.
find in public_poll_page.pl:
And in your next
block make sure rowspan="2" is included. I see from the html source code on your page that it isn't.
PainLord: If you wanna send me an email, I'll look at your 6.0 problem a bit closer. ryan@si.fi.ameslab.gov
Divine Narcotic: The $is_a_poll variable is VERY important. When you click the create a new poll, you use the SAME template and same cgi files as you do when you create a new topic. However, if it is a poll, which is signified by the value of the $is_a_poll variable, then a few extra options are available.
Adding a my is definitely not the answer because 'my' defines the scope of the variable to that file only. So my $is_a_poll has meaning ONLY in ultimatebb.cgi, but actually needs to have meaning in ubb_new_topic.cgi.
I'm not sure why your getting the error, and since I haven't upgraded to 6.04e I can't really test this out. However, I see that Allen is running it fine on 6.04e.
highaltitudeimports: You are getting the http header printed. I'm willing to bet that if you look in your vars_config.cgi file you will find this number in there. '2452055.0517'
Some reason the header is getting printed. I'm sorry, I can't reproduce that error. What is the exact ssi call you are using?
Olson: Thanks man I appreciate that But I'm good to go now and don't need no help. Like I said a few replies back, I merely skipped over that part and it worked flawlessly.
FYI, and anyone else who has 6.0 that may have the same problem I did, here is what I skipped:
Code
code:
All the other coding for ultimatebb.cgi I still did.
Hi, Really looking forward to this hack and would like to install now, but after reading the warning about the posible preview post problems decided to wait and see if anything was sorted so that both mods would work together. Is there any plans to work around this problem? Or do i have to decide on one hack or the other? Cheers. Viking30
I figured out how to replace the new topic words on the new poll page. But you'll need the mod wordlets.
################################ Open public_new_topic_form.pl ################################ FIND: ################################ # standard top of HTML page
When a user has not voted, they see a ballot. After the user has voted, they see the results. They do not have the option to vote again. If they wanna try to vote again by using their back button and getting the poll's ballot again, they can ... however when they try to submit a second vote, they recieve an error message saying that they've already voted.
So I don't exactly see your point ...
Divine Narcotic Good point ... It should be 'vote' not 'newvote'.
Vik, I have the post preview hack installed on 6.0, and this hack works fine with it with the exception of a minor bug. And that is if you preview your poll before you post it will say "Can Not Vote Without Comment" and not show you what your poll looks like. That little bug does not bother me because I have a test forum on my UBB that all my users test stuff in. I've also seen some people on here talking about compatability with the other Poll hack, the one admins create in the CP. I have that too and there is no problems.
well, it seems that you don't understand my problem:
a)When a poll is started, a user is seeing the ballot and he can choose one of the answers. b)The User clicks on the vote Button. Then there is a page where he gets an information about his vote like "Your vote for No will be recorded. You also have the option to leave a comment that will show up like a reply. This is optional, so you can leave the message box empty.". Now he leaves a comment or not and clicks on the Add Reply-Button. c)Instead of viewing the results now, UBB takes him back to the poll thread. There he can see the ballot again. He can vote and he can click on the Vote button again. By repeating these steps the user can vote agian, and again, and again, and everey vote will be reocrded and takes effect on the results.
I've never seen a page that tells the user that he can't vote again, and i've never seen a link to the results. When i want to see the reults, i must type in the URL manually.
Olson, You put a button that say s"post poll" right? well You did the wrong sized font, but it would look weird if it were the right size but hey. heres what I made that is the right size.
it doesnt work with glow name or any other hacks that affect threads like stars etc... theres also bugs when moving the poll and editing it.. and it doesnt show up in ubbnews when you post it.. so theres ALOT of bugs but for now its good enuff.. am diggin it!
but i can't explain why it doesn't work correctly at my board, and here at UBBDev it doesn't work, too. here i can vote as many times as i want...?!?
i've edited everything like it is described in the install.txt of the zip. ´possible that there are some mistakes in txt? or could my problem has enything to do with the chmod-ing of the poll cgi and pl file??
Thanks for this great hack !!:) Works like a charme,and with some copy&paste from my public_topic_page.pl to the public_poll_page.pl the stars,avatar etc.. works to. Loving it !!:)
it might be your cache.. UBBDev works just fine for me.. you might wanna cheq to see if your browser has cache enabled... whats the link to your board?
Hi guys, Well installed and almost working fine. Even with preview post hack. Just one small problem. In netscape i get a "nbsp" in front of the poll items. This doesn't show when using IE. Any ideas on what i might have done wrong? Or a fix to this small problem? Thanks. Viking.
This line is actually going to be used for later options, mainly allowing the creator or admin/mod to perform special functions. It is actually not meant to be in the install directions, but it won't effect anything.
But i can't get the hack to work correctly, users can still vote when they want, and as much as they want. I've hacked every file 3 times, what am i doing wrong??
my previously installed hacks:
-HyperCells -AIM/ICQ Status -HTML in signatures -Forum Statistics
btw after i changed my files like gilfil did now everybody can press the back button of the browser after he has voted and its possible for them to vote again and this vote will be recorded too.
Leetle bug, most likely just not in the template: the person who starts the poll, their member status is not included under their name. It shows up in later posts if they reply to their own thread, but not in the first post that created the poll.
Can we have a new release that incorporates some of the fixes since the last one? Still seems a bit buggy here and there by ready through these threads.
hi, i'm going crazy.. installed everything correctly, however whenever i start a poll it reads out as a regular message, with no poll to vote in at all. i understand that the preview hack might cause some trouble. could this be the culprit?
ok, solved some of my problems with this hack. first of all my predicament was that i use the preview post which i like very much. i didn't want to take it out for various reasons. the first time i installed the poll hack i got an omnious "votewithnocomment" message on the preview window. my workaround was to disallow users to preview their messages while posting a new poll:
in public_new_topic_form.pl:
Code
code:
in vars_wordlets.cgi:
Code
code:
if you're concerned about the registration date not appearing below your name when you start a poll, do this:
Code
code:
for those of you who use avatars simply uncomment the two lines mentioned in public_poll_page.pl.
lastly, if you're not using the custom rankings/status hack:
in the same file:
Code
code:
you can fix the order of the variables (those that start with the dollar sign) in that file to match to your liking.
if you guys wanna to try a demo to understand what the hell i'm talking about go to http://www.textcentral.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and log in as test/test. hope i helped someone. please note that i'm not a cgi expert at all so maybe i blindly added some unnecessary code. Ciao!
I don't know if im allowed to post here or not. its my first time on this board.
oK, i installed the poll hack. But it won't show up on my ubb. Y is that? I done all the coding right. Every bit. I double checked. anywayz. here is the link to my ubb http://www.twistedanime.net/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
I have pretty muc check all the files 3 times but I cant find the problem. I don't see the poll Table in the thread. I click on 'New Poll", create a poll and add comments but in the post only comments show up no poll. I never get to see the poll Table for the 5 options I had selected. Is there like an ON / OFF switch somewhere
I am able to get the poll to show up in a thread, I can get the choices to appear, and I can click on them to vote. However, after I have voted, the standard reply page appears. I never get the vote to actually be acknowledged. Can anyone point me to the name of the file where my error is likely to be? Thanks!
i'm positive the error must be in your public_new_reply_form.pl file. make sure that you installed the hack correctly in that file. upload it to your noncgi/Templates directory.
::Runs off eagerly to double check that file:: Nope, I remodified that one and it didn't help What is the CHMOD for the new files? Maybe I've done that wrong? Any other hints? Anyways, thanks for trying!
After you vote you are supposed to get a standard Reply message for Comments. And then when you open the topic you see the results. I am sure you have covered this ground but just making sure in case you missed it
After I post my vote, with or without comments, it always goes back to the "send reply" form. It never lets me get beyond that. No vote is ever recorded either, when I go back to check on the topic.
you ever gonna release an upgrade for this?? everyone is having the same problem and its soooo hard to install! i had to install and uninstall for about 5 or 6 times to get it working! and the installation is long too! but its sweet when you finally get it to work
Thanks for all your help. I did get it up and running with your suggestions. However, when I did a number of the members of the board reported script errors that caused their browsers to crash so I had to uninstall the modification. Do you have any other reports of this, and, if so, is there a cure? The mod was wonderful and I was looking forward to using it
now the poll hack is working @ my board. but now i can't add any new templates because the CP wants to have that i submit the name for the "post new poll"-graphic and at the create new templates -page isn't a field where i can enter the name for the graphic. so i recieve an error when i submit. Can anyone plz tell me how to add the requested field and which files i have to edit...?
[EDIT:] Well, it's okay i solved my little problem. i was very stupid to post it here because it was such a little change in cp_add_new_template.pl and i didn't think about what i have to do. so forgive a stupid little amateur
Yes, more of us need to know that about how to modify the special character check. A lot of languages uses special characters in almost every word, in Norway we use æ, ø and å a lot.
the link is broken, where can i download this hack? can anyone please send this great hack to [email protected] i would greatly appreciate it, thank you~
1) how can i terminate a poll? 2) If i do not reply to the poll, only vote, i can't see the results directly on the thread? 3) how can the member who started the poll, see directly at the thread the results?
is there any relations between this and Jordos UBB Intergraded Poll?? http://www.jordodesigns.com his hack is really nice and very easy to install!.. they should combine the two..
Also, i was just wondering if there was a MHK format of the hack for Multi Hack.. seems everyone is having trouble installing it since theres so much steps in the instruction! it would save alot of us time if you could make an MHK format of the hack
I havn't seen this asked in this post at all, but I could be wrong. Here I go anyway...
When I installed it, ( here ) the registrations date doesn't show up, nor does it on the other UBB's I've seen it installed on. I tried customizing it a little and couldn't get it figured out. Anybody know how I would resolve this?
wow! jordos Intergraded Poll works like a charm!! couple of problems i found was when moving the polls to other forums the polls will no longer show up.. only the topic (same thing happens with this hack) also when posting a poll the tables dont show up right and instead of Add New Poll it still says topic (not much of a biggie) If your having problems installing the Thread-Intergraded Poll then you should try jordos.. it took me like 6 or 7 times to get the Thread Intergraded to work properly but its worth it! hers a demo of my Test Board
is there an official topic of this hack? i hate to talk about it in the wrong thread.. sorry
Word To the wise about 'Jordo's' Integrated Polls v1.5 http://www.jordodesigns.com. IT will work for awhile, but then for some reason it comes up with the following:
"Software error: Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at /home/*****/******/ubb2/Forum21/000352.poll line 13. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@*****.co.uk), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. ; Content-type: text/html
Software error: [Tue Jul 3 10:05:13 2001] ultimatebb.cgi: Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at /home/*****/******/ubb2/Forum21/000352.poll line 13. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@*********.co.uk), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. ;"
The file itself is properly structured and so why it can't see that I don't know. Shows how the script hasn't been updated for the latest codebase, suffers similar problems to Beta 1.
Anyway hopefully v1.5 of this poll software will come out soon and we'll finally have a truly bug free survey system. But when? need a bug fix release! =)
i wish Jordo would upgrade his Intergraded Poll hack... i like the way it was made.. you can edit polls and could even disable it in CP.. its almost like vB's poll feature included with the board! which is awesome!
And just these instructions are the only reason that i can't go on with it. Sure, i know it has something to do with the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi but what....! How to install the devkit? If explained in dutch maybe it will make sense.
I tried installing this hack on my board (which had a dozen or so other hacks installed too) and it did not work.
So then I created a test board with no hacks and cannot get it to work properly there either!
When I create the poll it puts a double blank post from no one in the thread too.
Then when I respond to the poll, my comments are double posted between the poll and the two blank posts. If my other tester responds to the poll his comments are double posted after mine but before the two blank posts.
I had what I thought was the problem posted and looking for an answer.
However something went off (or is that on?) in my head and I tried something else and now I have the poll program working 100% on a test board that has nothing else installed!!!
In the instructions there is a reference to custom_status
I removed the reference to custom_status as follows:
Code
code:
I changed that to:
Code
code:
(Taking out $custom_status)
AND
in the file public_poll_page there is a section that should be commented out IF you do not have the custom status and avatar hacks installed
Code
code:
actually I just deleted the whole section but remarking it out would be better in case you install those hacks later on
What is missing from these instructions is that we (the "idiots" who don't know better) should go into the poll files and uncomment the code that needs to be uncommented IF we have the avatar and custom status hacks installed.
I realize now this is the problem I was having with my board when I tried installing this hack previously.
So now I will attempt to install this hack on my board (that has the avatar and custom status hacks already installed on).
This has been a very educational process to say the least! And even though it has been many hours of banging my head on the desk, pulling my hair out, and wondering how stupid I can be, it has been fun through it all; especially when I eventually figured out what was wrong and could fix it!
Now I too can say, "Great MOD! Thanks and I look forward to future versions!"
As you can see, after I post the poll, this is what I'm getting. Since I'm really an idiot as far as perl goes, I have no idea what's going on. I click "new poll" type a subject, type the option, type a comment, post it, then when I go to look at it, I get this. Check my board out if you want: matt.dynodns.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi .
Oh man... that's not all that happened, it also blanked out the first post in every single thread and moved it to the place where the latest post would be in that thread... what the hell did I do wrong? And to make things even more interesting, those blank posts that are in every thread don't move at all. They always stay at the bottom of the thread. It's looking like maybe I screwed up while copying some of the code. If anyone has an idea what I should doublecheck or how I could fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I'm running version 6.0 and I skipped that 6.04 specific section of the instructions. Other people said it worked for them, though...
Okay, I've fixed all the code (as far as I can tell, I've gone over it twice) and now my name and stats show up when I post a poll, but now just the poll itself is missing.
Just a quick question, is this hack still being worked on? I haven't seen any messages from Alan or Olson for quite a while now. Not rushing just wondering.
it appears ryan believes it works to his liking and isn't developing it anymore...
jordo is developing a similar modification that surpasses this one in administrative control, so you might consider that one if you are looking for ongoing support. As it is, this one does work if it's installed correctly.
Ok, well then here is my problem. Ex: 3 pictures to vote on in a thread.
User A: Posts the poll with 3 pics. User B: Votes and types a reply.
Open the thread and you see 2 posts the orignal on the bottom with 3 pics and User B's post on the top also with 3 pics and the voting standing but no reply that he wrote.
Now User C comes along and votes and now he is on the top looking like User B in the previous post(3 pics and no reply) but now User B's post is in the second positon is now the way it should have been when he posted orignally.
Bottom line, your reply is not shown until the next person votes. I had to tell everyone not to reply in the reply box I would just create another thread for comments. Clear or garbage?
Ok, LK helped me clear something up in the chat room, but I still have the problem that if a person replies in the reply box then their reply will not show up until a new person votes. I undestand now that the images repeat on the most recent reply, but I wish there reply would show. Too confusing, see for yourself. Make sure to reply in the box.
ERRR! This hack is soo long and I have done it for like 8 times and it never works! Can anyone install it for me? Possibly you, Allen? Well contact me, or reply, I would willing to pay as well.
Is this planned to be imported to 6.1? I loved this hack, and wish it could be expanded and improved. But just being on 6.1 would satisfy me enough, i guess.
This modification has been unsupported by the author for more than a couple of months now. There's nothing we can do about it.
There's also some issues in regards to it breaking the search on your site...
I am gonna close this thread since it is unsupported and has known serious issues. If you really must have polling, please use jordo's version or wait until it is included in the base code We'll be moving this thread out of here in the next couple of days to give everyone time to read it. If the author returns, we can open a new thread to support it.
We apologize for any inconvenience, thank you for understanding.
