Hack works great!!

Cup o suggestions:
------------------------------------------
1. Ability to show all the board's polls on one page

2. When a person votes, have it display what they voted for , not just the comment. For instance, I get comments that say "I agree" but no indication of what they voted on.
-----------------------------------------

Thats it .

i've have thought about recording which option a person votes for, but doing so you loose the anonymity that some people might want or require.

anyway, an idea would be to make classes of polls:
* Secret Polls
* Open Polls
* Polls w/ Write-In
* Polls which you can change your vote
* Polls that you can select more than one option.
* etc.

If anyone is seriously interested in these varieties or have some other suggestions, I would consider coding them up.

Well I would like the secret polls.

And a way to change your vote, or delete your vote all togather.

where is my error??
i want the field bigger and vote or so in the field
thx for every help

anyone solved the 2 New Topic Button problem yet?

I solved it!! The 2 button New Topic Problem!!!

OK. the soloution!
In ubb_forum.cgi
Find where u added this
$new_topic_button .= qq(  <A HREF="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=newpoll&f=$in{f}"><IMG SRC="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$vars_style{BBTopic}" ALT="$vars_wordlets{post_new_topic}" BORDER="0"></A>); # olson

And alter $vars_style{BBTopic} to $vars_style{BBPoll}
so that the line looks like this

$new_topic_button .= qq(  <A HREF="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=newpoll&f=$in{f}"><IMG SRC="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$vars_style{BBPoll}" ALT="$vars_wordlets{post_new_poll}" BORDER="0"></A>); # olson

Well, I off to celebrate!
oh don't forget to clear your cache

My suggestion is to make any poll topics show up at the top of a topics (per forum) list in a style not unlike the original Who's Online script. Would look kind of sexy =).

Ideally you'd show the polls subject and also the total votes so far, keeping it simply, yet attractive. This should ONLY be for topic display pages, it might screw up on others due to some people (myself) using Cat's Only etc.

Doesnt WORK! well first of all the New Poll image isnt even showing.. and polls never show up... and it seems everyone is having the same problem. :rolleyes:

Is the Rebuild Forum Stats bug still there or did some one fix it

ps: maybe you should add UBBPoll as a REQUIREMENTS

REQUIREMENTS: A full version of UBB 6.0 & UBBPoll installed

ruph:
I think ubbdev.com is proof that it works.

Read Cyberdude8472 series of post ifs you are having problems getting the post button to come up. Make sure that there is an entry in all your var_style_X.cgi files for BBPoll.

indoe:
UBB Polls and Thread-Integrated Polls are quite different and exist independent of each other. You can probably use both if you'd like.

The rebuild bug was for the Search Index, I wasn't aware of a Forum Stat's Bug?? Anyway that's been fixed for a while and is included in the zip file.

Axel:
You can adjust the size of the poll table in public_poll_page.pl file. You probably shouldn't mess too much around with the results table, but you can play around with the ballot table.

I'm going to added some variables so you can adjust the size of the results from the control panel. Currently if you increase the size of the results table, the bar graph will not take up the full width it's cell.

Call me stupid, (and maybe I am !)

But when I try to make a new poll i get the following message

"You have used invalid characters in the Poll Options Field.

Valid Character include: Any Alpha Number Combinations with the following characters: ! - . , & '
» Please use your browser's back button to return. "

What am I doing wrong?

Many Thanks

I got the same exact results as Ruph.

Yes ! I was stupid, I found the straight line on my keyboard and it is working fine.

I would like to make a suggestion, and that is, can you make this hack compatable with the Hide Forum hack ? When trying to make a poll in a hidden forum, I get the following message

Error -- Email Olson & Report the Following Error:

The C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ubbforum/ubb/Forum14/000006-vote.cgi file could not be opened because: No such file or directory.

The file is there, but I don't think the script can see it because of the way the Hide Forum hack works.

Many Thanks

see.. even Ellen is having the same prob.. anyone actually got this hack to work!? i really want this hack!! I have a 6.04e UBB.. and every other hack i've installed worked perfectly.. cept this one...

ummm.. here...:) I am using the same instructions you guys are as well....

so i dont need ubbpoll installed?

Everyone needs to make sure they have DPK's wordlet dev kit installed, seems to be a common problem in both poll script installs. You can find it here:

http://www.nfscheats.com/users/DPK/scripts/cgi_perl/mods_wordlet_devkit_0.1.zip

Fairly easy to install, most finished modifications require this before hand...

We'll try to make the instructions to add this more visible.

dammit:

i thought i had it all working, clicked new poll button, went inside made a poll the thread had [Poll] at end and the discription, but the poll wasent there!!!

tryed this twice, and cleared my cashe 4 times, my forums http://www.cnc-revolution.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

please take a look to see if you can find out the problem...

is DPK's thing ur talking about the same as the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi? i already have that installed.. unless DPK's is a different one. I'll try installing it again..

ok.. i have tried and tried and i'm pretty damm sure i hacked everything 100% correctly!! the New Poll image wont isnt showing and the poll doesnt show up either when you post it... someone please help me!!! heres the link to my board http://www.demobreakers.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
