Installing right now. I will get back to you..

So far all is working well!! One suggestion, if you want me to I could document it, but I think there should be an option in style templates to change the bar gif and such. If you would like any help creating it I would be glad to save you the time.

Question: When creating a new topic with a poll, where do you put the options for each option for the poll? Because whenever I click create Poll and put 3 options. I get this:

You did not fill out all options.

well if you create a poll with 3 options(by putting a 3 in the box on the new topic page), you will need to fill in all three of the options and the question on the subsequent page. ill add the bar gifs to the style templates sometime (i have it all doc'd up cause i did the same type of thing in sticky threads, so it wont be a problem).

so the sequence for posting a poll is:
1) click new topic button
2) fill in topic subject and message like normal, click the checkbox next to Add Poll, enter a number of options and click the submit button (Add Topic button).
3) fill in poll question and options (all must be filled in), and click submit - your post and your poll will then both be made.

Nevermind, works now.

Are you sure? I can easily add it right now... and then send you the doc.

I'd also like to help in any way. Wordlets maybe??

Looking good Jordo :)I can help with the xhtml, I seem to be getting a good amount of practice with it

I may wait until you've gotten some more bugs worked out, at least until the public template pages are pretty stable.

I have installed this and it is working (so far).

Looks good.

One thing I noticed that needs a very small fix (I figure everyone has fixed it and just did not say anything about it.)

in ubb_new_topic.cgi

Number of Poll Options: <input type="text" name="Poll_total_options" size="5" maxlength="3">);

should have a

after the "3">

so it would look like this:

Number of Poll Options: <input type="text" name="Poll_total_options" size="5" maxlength="3">

);

otherwise the Show Sig line is on the same line as the poll options

by "controlling where you can post" does this mean that you can control what forums you are allowed to post a poll in? that's the kind of control i'm dying to see

Exactly what you can do.

jordo, was just wondering if you got my zip on the wordlets and such...

I'll be installing this on a test site soon and will send you the xhtml-ized template files asap

Allen, you don't have too. I just finished that. Jordo, if you would like them please tell me.

thanks to some great work by tech-ni-kal zips are updated to v1.8.

Jordo,

Whats required to up grade from 1.7 to 1.8?

Thanks!

Right.. :rolleyes: That kinda pisses me off.

Hey man, I told him you helped...

helped? pretty much re-did all the html to xhtml it was so messy I did not even know what to do with it.

You never told me that...
