Name: UBBPoll v2.1b

Description: This is a stand-alone poll script that utilizes the UBB members structure and the styles. A user must be registered on your UBB in order to vote in the poll. A slick administration utility is also included with the script allowing for opening and closing of polls, adding and deleting of polls, and adding and deleting if users.

Author: Andy Tomaka

Compatibility: This hack should work with all licensed versions of the UBB. NT Compatibility fixed by MasterMind.

Nope, for the most part, it is the same as 1.3d feature-wise. However, the code is much cleaner, and the script should run faster than previously.

I agree MM, but there is a need for some formatting changes if you have the "remove moderators for Ultimate.cgi" hack installed. Not a real big deal, and nothing against the Poll hack! Just 2 cents worth of what I've found.

Yeah, I'm doing that...I was just pointing out that there is a little work to do if you have the other hack installed. I think it is GREAT! I saw it on a site and immediately started the search! I have little time to get the formatting straightened out, but I hope to get it all set up this week.

You all do great work, so don't take this as a complaint...it wasn't! just info, nothing more, nothing less.

Us ubb hackers take constructive critism and nothing less. That was better than that.

Thanks,
and expect an NT compatible version soon.

2.0b released. Added a few lines that make the script NT compatible thanx to MasterMind.

To upgrade, simply fix the path on your admin.cgi and poll.cgi files if necessary, and re-upload them, nothing else to do!

The script doesn't acount for the user removing or adding extra columns, but only the two amount of columns that the stock UBB can have.

On NT whenever i try to create a poll it says "The user has no permissions" or something like that. I used the same user when i was setting it up.

Any ideas??

Did you download the new version? I had to fix the UBBPoll.zip because it was corrupted so you could have. Try downloading again.

Is there any way to modify it so that it doesn't require a register user to vote?

Yes, in sub do_vote, remove these lines:



Why would you wanna do that though? There are plenty of good polls out there.

Also realize that this gets rid of the double vote checking.

The hack worked perfectly for me, and the poll is working great. One problem though- both the background and text are set to default at white, so as a result you can't read the text! It's at http://www.roxydoll12.com/cgi-bin/poll.cgi
If you view the source you can see both are color #000000! Can you please tell me how to fix this?

Ellen -- Sorry about the color error. Seems I musta used an incorrect variable in the colors. I will change it to the one I need to use when I get a little bit of time.

Note that 2.0c has been released. This fixes the color errors. Let me know if ya find any more spots where the colors are incorrect.
