Poll

Hi Vim – I have just sent you an email via youe Sitebase site. I’m having the same problem as Richard. I’m not getting errors – just nothing showing on the page. My code is:

<?php echo Poll(5); ?> <?php include(“Poll/Poll.php”); ?> <?php echo Poll(5, “Poll/template.tpl”, “Poll/data.xml”); ?>

The Poll folder is uploaded in the root and the admin area works perfectly where I can create the poll but I can’t get the poll to show on the page. Not sure what to do now…

Any help very much appreciated.

Joel

Hi Vim – thanks for the answer. Unfortunately it doesn’t help or make any further sense to me. I have followed your instructions exactly as they are written in your included help file and it appears that I have used the right type of quotes from what you have posted above.

The admin area of the poll is working properly so it must be something small that I just can’t find that is stopping it showing on the .html page of the site.

This is the entire html that is in the column where the poll is supposed to show:

Tell us what you think!

Is anyone able to help me because this is becoming very frustrating and I have spent many, many hours on this getting nowhere. I’d be happy to pay at this stage.

Many thanks.

Joel

Wim – apologies. I tried index.php but it just came up with a whole lot of nasty errors. I’ve got someone to help me now so things are looking up.

Many thanks!

Your updates mentioned:

Added Totalvotes variable to use in templates

I’ve tried adding variable : {TOTALVOTE} into the template and it’s displaying as {TOTALVOTE}. Am I missing something?

Hi (again),

Thanks for all the help so far.

I’ve solved the main problem but still an error occur when I try to change the directory of the page where I want to use the poll to my main directory (public_html).

I receive an error message saying; ” File(../../poll/Poll.php) is not within the allowed path(s)”.

I know the directory and the path is correct.

How do I proceed?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the great poll, it has definately helped me out with what I needed, but I have a couple of questions:

1) How can I stop the results from showing if I go back to the page once I have already voted? I want it to go to results right after I have filled the poll out, but when I reload the page how can I get it to go to the poll question again?

2) How does it know if somebody has done it before? is it done via cookies? IP address? how is it done?

Please let me know Thanks

Thanks.

“It seems that your server doens’t allows .. in a directory path. You can use absolute paths to solve this problem.”

How can this be done?

Am I able to have a drop down with 200 results options?

Also can I have the results show up on the same page and the poll?

thanks!

Thanks for this poll. Been using it about a week without a problem at all. I have looked through the documentation and do not see a variable for the top result. Is there an easy way to display just the highest voted for answer?

Thanks

Thanks.

Thanks for all your help.

I don’t know if I am doing anything wrong. I’ve created a file called path.php and uploaded it in my Poll directory.

When I go to (call the file?) the file (test.php) through my web browser I can’t see anything.

Hello, I am having difficulties getting the admin panel to load. After I enter in the password and hit login in it redirects me to a blank page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Since there is no reaction on my question by email, I will try and ask here…

Is there a way to display created polls randomly? So if I created 10 polls and someone reloads the website, one of the 10 created polls will be displayed.

Hopefully I will receive an answer this time…

Thanks for the answer, but where do I put the rest?

"template.tpl", "poll/data.xml");

???

//edit

I think I did it correctly:

<?php $polls = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);  // Array of poll numbers you like to randomize
shuffle ( $polls  );
echo Poll($polls[0], "template.tpl", "poll/data.xml");
?>

Is this correct?

Thanks!
