[BETA] YaBB Poll v0.1 Released

[k1ro]

Could someone make such a mod for
Threads, so that users can see (and got to) the latest 10 Threads. (if you dont know what i mean, take a look at www.3dchips.net theres is a box in the right with the latest ten board-headlines)

thx

I have a weird problem with this. The poll on my front page doesn't show the right options. It gives me two options twice although they are not twice in the poll on my forum. Why is this?

[nsanden]

It's a bug I just noticed yesterday as well. Real simple fix. Open the poll.php with notepad. Hit CTRL-F. Do a search for this string "$poll_option6</td><td width=7>". Minus the quotes.

It will show you in the code where that string is. You'll see a pattern in the code. Below and above looks the same except it will be $poll_option5, and $poll_option7, etc.

I accidently had $poll_option6 twice.

If your extremely confused, wait a little longer and i'll post the fix.

There is already a mod for this included in YaBB SE. There is an file in your SE diretory called SSI.php that has all the functions you need to do that. See http://www.gamerzalliance.com for an example of it in use. Do a search for SSI.php to find out how to use it.

The mod isn't still working right The poll option 7 has 0 votes but shows 29 %. Why is that? Tried to look at the poll.php but didn't see anything wrong.

EDIT:
Okay, found it.
The script says:

Code Select Expand

$poll_votes8 ($pollvotes7percent%)
When it should say:

Code Select Expand

$poll_votes8 ($pollvotes8percent%)

[nsanden]

Not sure if this is it or not but it needs to be fixed regardless. Search for "$pollvotes7percent%". The second one needs to be $pollvotes8percent% not $pollvotes7percent%

Well I was going to wait until I optimized and cleaned up some of the code but I just decided i'd post the latest fixed version for all that want it right away!

Great mod, but I removed the

Code Select Expand

<td width=7> </td>
because that resulted in an ugly empty cell......

I still have one question though :

I want to be able to choose WHICH poll is on the mainpage.  I would like to know where I can put the poll-number in, so that poll stays on the mainpage.....

Can you tell me how to do it ?

[nsanden]

sheesh, picky picky  

download this one... (only for people wanting to specify which poll is shown)

NOTE: you will of course have to know the Poll_ID.. It's in your database.

BIG UPDATE

v0.2 now available...

Updates:
*Ability to choose between showing the latest poll, a poll you choose (by id number), or a random poll.
*Code optimized and cleaned up. File is 1/3 the size.

(again scroll to the bottom and look for the Yabb poll link to download)

Who should upgrade? Everyone!

[Hypocrite]

For some reason the zero votes options don't have the little bar at all.

[nsanden]

Make sure your using the latest version. I updated it many times, (found little bugs here and there since I posted that) but the latest is the final version...
