hi, i'm going crazy.. installed everything correctly, however whenever i start a poll it reads out as a regular message, with no poll to vote in at all. i understand that the preview hack might cause some trouble. could this be the culprit?

ok, solved some of my problems with this hack. first of all my predicament was that i use the preview post which i like very much. i didn't want to take it out for various reasons. the first time i installed the poll hack i got an omnious "votewithnocomment" message on the preview window. my workaround was to disallow users to preview their messages while posting a new poll:

in public_new_topic_form.pl:
Code
code:

in vars_wordlets.cgi:
Code
code:

if you're concerned about the registration date not appearing below your name when you start a poll, do this:

Code
code:

for those of you who use avatars simply uncomment the two lines mentioned in public_poll_page.pl.

lastly, if you're not using the custom rankings/status hack:

in the same file:
Code
code:

you can fix the order of the variables (those that start with the dollar sign) in that file to match to your liking.

if you guys wanna to try a demo to understand what the hell i'm talking about go to http://www.textcentral.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and log in as test/test. hope i helped someone. please note that i'm not a cgi expert at all so maybe i blindly added some unnecessary code. Ciao! smile

I have pretty muc check all the files 3 times but I cant find the problem.
I don't see the poll Table in the thread. I click on 'New Poll", create a poll and add comments but in the post only comments show up no poll.
I never get to see the poll Table for the 5 options I had selected. Is there like an ON / OFF switch somewhere wink

check your ubb_lib_posting file. look for "#now we have $cat_line1 for breadcrumb".
About three lines below that see if it appears this way:

require "$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/Templates/public_poll_page.pl"; # olson$counter = 0;

it should be:

require "$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/Templates/public_poll_page.pl"; # olson
$counter = 0;

I am able to get the poll to show up in a thread, I can get the choices to appear, and I can click on them to vote. However, after I have voted, the standard reply page appears. I never get the vote to actually be acknowledged. Can anyone point me to the name of the file where my error is likely to be? Thanks!

i'm positive the error must be in your public_new_reply_form.pl file. make sure that you installed the hack correctly in that file. upload it to your noncgi/Templates directory.

After you vote you are supposed to get a standard Reply message for Comments. And then when you open the topic you see the results.
I am sure you have covered this ground but just making sure in case you missed it smile

After I post my vote, with or without comments, it always goes back to the "send reply" form. It never lets me get beyond that. No vote is ever recorded either, when I go back to check on the topic.

In ubb_get_topic.cgi, I am instructed to find the line that begins:

if (($vars_misc{use_cache} ne 'no')

However, mine begins instead:

if (($_[0] ne $winforum)&&($vars_misc{use_cache} ne 'no')

Is that a problem?

Thanks for all your help. I did get it up and running with your suggestions. However, when I did a number of the members of the board reported script errors that caused their browsers to crash so I had to uninstall the modification. Do you have any other reports of this, and, if so, is there a cure? The mod was wonderful and I was looking forward to using it frown

I'll get an upgrade out sometime next week. Right now I'm having ISP problems so access to the zip file will be limited.

I'll spend some time this weekend trying to make this hack easier to install.

mhh

now the poll hack is working @ my board. but now i can't add any new templates because the CP wants to have that i submit the name for the "post new poll"-graphic and at the create new templates -page isn't a field where i can enter the name for the graphic. so i recieve an error when i submit. Can anyone plz tell me how to add the requested field and which files i have to edit...?


[EDIT:] Well, it's okay i solved my little problem. i was very stupid to post it here because it was such a little change in cp_add_new_template.pl and i didn't think about what i have to do. so forgive a stupid little amateur wink

I have an unusual problem in that the poll table fails to display sometimes. In its place are the words "WriteBallotOrPollHere"

If I refresh the poll table will display.

Take a look:

If you are running the Hidden Private Forum hack by e@sy, you'll experience a problem if you post a poll in a private forum. Here's the fix for it.

In your cgi-bin directory, there is a file called ubb_poll_ssi.cgi. Open up this file in your favourite text editor.

great hack! only at the 5th time i made it!!!

only 3 little questions:

1) how can i terminate a poll?
2) If i do not reply to the poll, only vote, i can't see the results directly on the thread?
3) how can the member who started the poll, see directly at the thread the results?


Thanks wink

is there any relations between this and Jordos UBB Intergraded Poll?? http://www.jordodesigns.com his hack is really nice and very easy to install!.. they should combine the two..

Also, i was just wondering if there was a MHK format of the hack for Multi Hack.. seems everyone is having trouble installing it since theres so much steps in the instruction! it would save alot of us time if you could make an MHK format of the hack smile
