I did use 2.c downloaded from the link above

After posting can I change the page it takes you to, to something other than poll.cgi???

Any help appreciated.

Nice work... can this be SSI'd to a .shtml page?

And what is the problem?



Not too dificult. Just find the end of the do_vote subroutine, and print the redirection code.



Not with the stock version, but it would take too much in the way of modification.

Hi atom,

Tried to install the mod but ran into a problem.

After clicking the submit button in setting up the very first poll, I got the following:

"The members.cgi file could not be opened because No such file or directory."

I tried to add a user ... myself, but got the same error message.

I'm hoping I just missed a step.

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,
Errol

errol -- Is the data path chmod'ed properly? is there a members.cgi file in it?

Hi,

Where do I get the members.cgi file? I don't have that file in any of the directories on my board.

I have my board on an NT which my host has setup to inherit whatever permissions are set for cgi-bin. So, when I created the ubbpoll within cgi-bin, I didn't do any permission steps. BTW, I only have ftp access to the server.

Also step 5 says

5) Create a data directory within that UBBPoll directory and set its chmod to 777.

I don't really know what this step is for. I simply create a directory called "data" within ubbpoll. Is that what step 5 meant?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Errol

It is setup when you setup the poll.



That may be a problem. I have heard some users can't get it to work on NT.



Yes, that is what it means. I thought it was pretty clear

Version 2.1b has been released.

There are some coding fixes, some logical fixes, and a few other things. Consult upgrade.txt for upgrading.

Hi Atom,

Installed V2.1b. Same results. =(

I noticed in the Admin.cgi that there is a form that you fill out to set up UBBPoll.



I don't get this at all on my screen when I open admin.cgi from my browser. I instead get the options for New Poll, Delete Poll, Close Poll, etc.

I think that is what I need correct to properly configure UBBPoll.

When I type in admin.cgi?=DoSetup, I just get the bottom nav text links.

Any ideas why the form is not coming up?

Thanks,
Errol

errol -- why would you be access DoSetup, you should never do that. I recomend you delete everything UBBPoll related and start over. thset up stuff should only be shown the first time and not every time.

Hi Atom,

Actually never seen the form, so I've never done it.

I'm puzzled why the form doesn't come up.

I went ahead and did a fresh install per your instructions.

Same results. =(
Form to do setup for the first time doesn't come up. I get the New Poll, Close Poll, etc.

If I can figure out how to get that form to come up, I should be good to go.

Thanks,
Errol

Open up UltPoll.setup and change it to this, replaceing with the proper information.

Not sure if you are doing anything wrong I am not familiar with working on NT servers. Phillip over at Script Keeper said the problem comes because NT can't find the location of the UltPoll.setup file. To fix it, simply find $size = -s 'UltPoll.setup'; and replace it with $size = -s '/path/to/UltPoll.setup';

Hopefully, this will get ya through it

Hi Andy,

The setup form still doesn't come up even with line replacement above.

I also tried Phillip's code replacement suggestion at scriptkeeper but still.. no form setup.

Oh well. I guess I'll shelf this for now until someone who has been able to make this work on an NT server comes up with the solution.

Thanks again Atom for all your help.

v/r,
Errol

Following Phillip's method completely and fully should result in proper setup...
