[BETA] YaBB Poll v0.1 Released

[nsanden]

Nevermind your right, hang on  

[nsanden]

OKAY, fixed. Download the latest one!

[Hypocrite]

Thanks, works fine now

[Hypocrite]

Hmm... for some reason it seems I am able to vote twice. It asks for my password in the main page vote and after I give it I can vote. And also I am always logged inside the forum and it let me vote also in the forum. I got to vote two times, maybe three because I'm not sure if I voted before once

[nsanden]

Strange.. I just voted on mine from my main page, then went in my forums where the thread is and couldn't vote. Anyone else getting an experience like hypocrite?

[Hypocrite]

I think it could be because I voted on the main page before I upgraded to the new version of your script and then voted again from the forum after the upgrade.

Cool, works very well.

Q: I am wanting to choose a poll but do not understand what data is required.........

$pollidmain="0"; //Only applicable if you choose 2 for poll_type

What value do I need to enter?

Cheers T.

[nsanden]

Hi,

That particular option is kind of for more advanced users. The only reason I say that is because you need PHPMyAdmin or some way to see your database entries... You would have to go into the forum poll table and find the id next to the poll you want shown. Thats what you would put for $pollidmain

[fruity_baby]

Cheers - will have a look and get back to you if I need any help.

Great add-on, I've been waiting for it. I added a little extra to it on my site: the user can a) vote or b) jump to the voting thread in the board itself. You only need 1 extra query.
For those interessted:
see it "live" here (sorry, german language only).

<search for>

Code Select Expand

$poll_votes_array=array($array0_poll["votes1"],$array0_poll["votes2"],$array0_poll["votes3"],$array0_poll["votes4"],$array0_poll["votes5"],$array0_poll["votes6"],$array0_poll["votes7"],$array0_poll["votes8"]);
<add after>

Code Select Expand

// find out board and thread of current poll
$query1_thread_poll=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$dbprefix_poll."topics WHERE ID_POLL='".$poll_id."';",$server);
$array1_thread_poll=mysql_fetch_array($query1_thread_poll);
and

<search for (2x)>

Code Select Expand

       echo "<font color=$font_color style=\"FONT-FAMILY: $font_face; FONT-SIZE: $font_size\"><b>$poll_question</b><br>";
<replace with (2x)>

Code Select Expand

       echo "<font color=$font_color style=\"FONT-FAMILY: $font_face; FONT-SIZE: $font_size\"><a href=\"$fullurl?board=$array1_thread_poll[1];action=display;threadid=$array1_thread_poll[0]\"><b>$poll_question</b></a><br>";
One little issue: the original code itself isn't HTML 4.01 compliant (but YaBB SE isn't neither , although it says something else in the "out-of-the-box" installation ) - why not modify the poll code accordingly?

Great idea having the title as a link to the thread... The other thing I recently noticed is the login/register link points to the login page, when it really should be 2 links. One to a login page and one to a register page...

And the code still needs to be cleaned up a little bit. (Actually a lot now that i look at it again)

[Nossie]

Hi,

was wondering if someone could help me with this....

I setup the script and *only* edited it so that the title was a hyper link to the poll thread...

the way I have my page set out is like this...
I have an index.shtml file.. that calls the following:

nav2.html (the navigation include)
main.php (this calls the ssi.php and then further down calls poll.php)


the problems I'm having are thus...
when a member who hasnt already voted tries to vote...

it doesnt register the vote and then forwards them to the main.php file and not back to the index file...

can someone help me work this out... or help with a work around..

would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Nossie,

sounds to me like a cookie problem (see http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=140;action=display;threadid=9762;start=0 ). Did you include ssi.php in the very first line of your index.whatever? Seems not to be so. Remember: cookie information must be sent before header data is sent.
Another possibility: did you define functions which handle the inclusions? Remembered to make the vars global?
You try this in your index.whatever (in the given order):
- include ssi.php
- include nav2.html
- do the things that main.php is expected to do
- include poll.php

For further help some more code bits would be helpful.

[Nossie]

Thanks GauGau...

the reason it would appear I'm calling SSI.php half way down the page is because its actually being called and processed at the top of the main.php file ?

I saw in here someplace that that was the best way to do it without renaming your index file to .php the poll script is being called half way down the main.php file...

main.php

I tried renaming the index file to php and calling both the SSI and poll scripts from the very top of the page...

same thing happened...

I'm not sure what to do about global variables because I'm very new to php... so maybe that is the problem...

I followed the hack in the previous post to make it a link to a 'T' but that was when I was bored (and couldnt work out why the poll wasnt working)

I've renamed the poll.php to .txt and uploaded it for you to look at here

I think the reason its opening back in the include is similar to the frames problem where you need to specifiy 'top' yes? but I've no idea how to do that in php...

rest of the ssi works fine.... so my guess is that it has nothing to do with the positioning of the script ?

[Nossie]

you'll need to view source when you click that link btw lol

dunno why it has processed a .txt file as html
