[ Closed ] Poll for PunBB (Page 2 of 3)

My work here is done! (hopefully )

I think it'll work fine now. If it's not, please tell me and I'll fix it asap.

Download: PunPoll.v1.0.zip

It seems it doesn't work with mozilla firebird / netscape browser but it worked fine with internet explorer. It doesn't update the page after you have marked "new poll". It's a smart feature with the box hope you can fix it because it isn't as nice if you always shows the poll when posting.

Nice!!!
Thaks

Tried it and it works great (on my IE environment)! Great work - 1000+ thanks!
Just a thought about a feature I might miss or which isn't included:

I would suggest to add an option to "admin_permissions.php" which defines if "Guests" and/or "Users" are allowed to create polls. While I would allow it Users I would prefer if not registered users can't create a poll; so registering is just another benefit.

What do you think?

True, all true. I'll fix it tomorrow

url please

Hi all

Had some problems with the punpoll mod; apparently the EOF tags in the bit of code added to the 'viewtopic.php' page (lines 240 - 260 with the mod) aren't that well supported, cause they screwed things up for me (tested w/Safari 2.0 on MacOSX and IE 5 on a PC, result is a blank page when trying to view posts), so I replaced the offending lines with a different way of coding the table inside the php bit, and now it works fine (great job on the whole thing, by the way!).

Here's my fix, for anyone who might have the same problem.

                        echo "
   
                    <tr>
                        <td align='right'>" .$answers[$i] . " </td>
                        <td width='50%' align='left' nowrap>
                             <img src='img/poll/end.png' height='9' alt=''><img src='img/poll/" .$image . ".png' height='9' width='" .$proc . "%' alt=''><img src='img/poll/end.png' height='9' alt=''>
                        </td>
                        <td align='right' style='width: 30px' nowrap>" .$votes[$i] . "</td>
                        <td align='right' style='width: 40px' nowrap>" .$sproc . "%</td>
                        <td width='20px'></td>
                    </tr>";
                       
                        }else{
                        echo "
   
                    <tr>
                        <td style='width: 20px;' align='right'>
                            <input type='radio' name='option' value='" .$i . "'>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            " .$answers[$i] . "
                        </td>
                    </tr>";

Have you figured out a fix for the mozilla problem (page not updating?) I downloaded 1.1 and addded it, but it still doesn't work
I select post new topic. Fill out title and post. Check post new poll. nothing. hit submit. Get error - must fill in poll. go back. refresh - nothing. uncheck post new poll - hit submit. Then edit post...NOW I can add the poll.

Also, multiple choice doesn't work at all...

Well, I'd never encountered EOF tags before (i'm a bit of a newbie - insert massive understatement alert here - so it really doesn't mean anything) which is why I was unsure how to deal with them, but I cut/pasted the code directly from the readme, and if I'm not mistaken *paused, checking...* yep, it was as you said; on its own row, no tabs or spaces before it.

When the bugginess occurred I just inactivated the whole section of code by commenting it out, so the page worked again (by that I mean, no blank php-error-induced white screen, but an empty table of course) and reactivated it bit by bit until I'd isolated the problem to the part of the table that used the EOF tags. Like I said, I'm a newbie (and I had impatient users complaining that "the forum didn't work"; not that they'd actually go and describe the problem in any kind of detail, like, what they'd been trying to do at the time, lol) so I didn't really research the problem and just went ahead with the fix (of sorts) I posted.

If you want I could retry it with the original code on a copy and send it to you, maybe it could help you find out what's wrong (in case it's not just me being unable to cut/paste a snippet of code correctly, which is a possibility I haven't ruled out yet, lol).

Otherwise, congrats on a great mod:)

Both IE6 and Mozilla have radio buttons instead of checkboxes for multiple vote and single choice polls.

The updated v1.1 works great, thanks! Except for the multiple-choice, which I hadn't tried before; the option to give multiple votes is there when I create the poll, but the user can't actually choose several answers.

Oh, there is another slight issue I thought I might mention: when quote marks are used in the poll question or answers, an error is returned (can't save poll info). Of course using backslashes to escape the quote marks solves the problem, but if the users don't know that they won't understand why it's not working... Wouldn't it be good to have the form automatically perform an addslashes function on the data when it's posted?

Hmm, still some problems regarding quote-marks in the answers though. Can't figure out how to solve it when using serialize/un serialize ... suggestions?
