[BETA] YaBB Poll v0.1 Released

[GauGau]

Nossi,

I understand you changed lines 48 and 50 of poll.php for security reasons, but line 46 should usually read

Code Select Expand

$host_poll="localhost"; //MySQL Host Address and line 54 should be somthing like

Code Select Expand

$dbprefix_poll="yabbse_polls"; //MySQL YaBB Tables Prefix (check this with phpMyAdmin or something similar) in the "real thing".
Next thing that bothered me on my board were the lines 67+68, so I relied on the vars $username and $password passed by SSI.php instead of those of poll.php. I changed the code from

Code Select Expand

       $YaBB_Username_Cookie=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["3dhomeworldname"]; //YaBB username cookie
        $YaBB_Password_Cookie=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["3dhomeworldpassword"]; //YaBB password cookie to

Code Select Expand

       $YaBB_Username_Cookie=$username; //YaBB username cookie
        $YaBB_Password_Cookie=$password; //YaBB password cookie, because php vars can be tricky depending on your webhosts's php version.
Maybe this already does the trick for you - did it for me.

poll.php must be in the same directory as your index.html file and it must be called relatively.

Code Select Expand

<? require('poll.php'); ?>
is okay...

Code Select Expand

<? require("/home/3283/planet/www.3dhomeworld.com/public_html/poll.php"); ?>
is not okay..

change that and your cookie problems should go away...

Line 46 is usually localhost, but some people use mysql on another server, in which case it would be an IP address or domain name like he had

Line 54 should actually be

Code Select Expand

$dbprefix_poll="yabbse_"; //MySQL YaBB Tables Prefix
unless you used a different prefix for your yabb tables when you installed it. (Remember this is simply the prefix of the tables, not an actual table)

[Nossie]

sorry I still cant get it to work

I changed main.php to

Code Select Expand

   <td height="16" valign="top"><div align="center">Current Poll:</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="29" valign="top">
      <? require('poll.php'); ?>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
line 46 reads

Code Select Expand

       $host_poll="mysql.xcalibre.co.uk"; //MySQL Host Address

Well then my only recommendation would be to try to include it directly into your index.shtml file. Unless anyone else has any better ideas, I don't know why it wouldnt work 2 includes down.

I really like this mod but I've some problems with it.

I have an index.shtml and placed the following lines in it:
<!--#include virtual="/yabb/SSI.php" -->
<!--#include virtual="poll.php" -->

Ok, it shows the poll, so I login, now I can vote.
The problem is that when I vote, it show's the results but it didn't register my vote.
When I vote on the forum, it works fine (and also shows up on index.shtml)

Any idea's?

I've got the same problems here -->  you guys already found out what the problem is? (btw, cool addon for the forum! )

[Nossie]

lol I thought I was the only one with this problem

[nsanden]

My apologies for being away.

If your having problems similiar to Nossie, or Rene try the following:

open poll.php and go to line 172.

should read:

Code Select Expand

echo "<form action=$PHP_SELF method=post style=\"FONT-FAMILY: $font_face; FONT-SIZE: $font_size\">";
change to

Code Select Expand

echo "<form action=poll.php method=post style=\"FONT-FAMILY: $font_face; FONT-SIZE: $font_size\">";
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This should fix the problem.
