Hi all,

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

Thanks

Rainner

Very nice hack! Thank you!

Just wondering if an SSI to another page has been done on this...

no, but it is something to think about...

it sounds like a nice hack but i can't get it to work i've installed and hacked all the files as said but thats what i get everytime .......
i hope someone can tell me whats wrong here

==================================================
/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 ~"
syntax error at /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/home.com/cgi-bin/ubb_poll_lib.cgi line 226, near "}"
==================================================

cheers :}

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 .......

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');

#get forum details
my @this_forum = &GetForumRecord($forum);

# determine exact path & check permission if necessary
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 ($vote) {
&StandardHTML("$vars_wordlets_polls{ipolls_option_error}");
}
if ($username eq "") {
&StandardHTML(qq!$vars_wordlets_err{not_logged_in}

$vars_wordlets{login_now}!);
}

my @voters = split(/||/, $poll_data{voters});
foreach my $voter (@voters) {
if ($voter eq $username) {
&StandardHTML("$vars_wordlets_polls{ipolls_already_voted_error}");
}
} # end foreach

$poll_data{voters} .= "$username||";
foreach my $key (keys %poll_data) {
if ($key =~ /choice_/) {
@choice = split (/||/, $poll_data{$key});
if ($vote eq $choice[0]) {
$new_total = $choice[1] + 1;
$poll_data{$key} = "$choice[0]||$new_total";
}

}
}
if ($comment) {
$poll_data{comment_total} = $poll_data{comment_total} + 1;
$comment_num = "comment_$poll_data{comment_total}";
$poll_data{$comment_num} = "$username||$vote||$comment";
}
$poll_data{total_votes} = $poll_data{total_votes} + 1;

&WriteHashToFile("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/$exact_path/$thread.poll", "poll_data", %poll_data);

# take viewer back to topic
my $forum = param('forum');
my $topic = param('thread');

# grab topic
my @this_topic = &OpenTopic($topic, $forum);

# grab topic stat line
my @stat_line = split(/||/, $this_topic[0]);

do "$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/styles/vars_style_$template_match{transition}.cgi";
&set_page_elements;
&Transition("$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=$forum&t=$topic", "$vars_wordlets_polls{ipolls_thanks_voting}", "$stat_line[4]");

} ## end do_vote sub #######line 226######
