Hi,

Just wanted to thank you for a great add on. I just successfully installed it with no problems. Thanks for the clear and easy to understand install instructions.

I have just one very minor problem. The text size of the choosable (if that's a word) options in the poll box is tiny. The rest of it such as the question displays fine. Is there a specific file to change this, as all my other sideboxes are displaying correctly.

Oh, I'm using version 1.3.8a and other than this small text size issue, the add on works perfect.

Thanks in advance.

Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your positive feedback!

The problem you encounter is just the thing I was not able to test, as I have only one ZC-site with one theme.
In my template, I have to set the font-size to small to make it fit with the rest of the website. I guess it is different for your theme.

What we can try first is to remove the small font indication. For this you have to change a line in one file, which will affect the question- as well as the result box:

in includes/templates/<your template>/sideboxes/tpl_poll_box.php
on line 105:

change: $content .= '<div id="' . $boxname . '" style="font-size:small;">';

into: $content .= '<div id="' . $boxname . '">';

Please let me know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks,
Boudewijn

To add to the above (can't find out how to edit my post):

I think the standard style class for sideboxes is 'sideBoxContent'.
So the new line as mentioned should be changed into:

$content .= '<div id="' . $boxname . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

This also worked for my template and I suspect it will be a general solution for all.

Please let me know the results, if ok I will incorporate this in the next beta.

A new version of the poll box, with the fix mentioned above and some others, is available from the add on section.

Hello!

Tried it on v 1.3.9d. The side box came out ok however, the options were blank. I could see the box where the customer can check and vote but the words next to it are not there. Any ideas why?

Also I noticed that once the person votes, the side box disappears. Is that normal? On other polls I have seen, once the person has voted the side box will just show results but it won't disappear. Is that possible to do?

Thanks, it's a great contribution btw!

Hi!

My poll has the same problem as Amanda. The text is supertiny.
Just installed it, with the changes you refer to.

Hi,

I did finally get to making the change you suggested ie - replacing line 104 with:
$content .= '<div id="' . $boxname . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

It hasn't fixed it unfortunately. The font is still super tiny.

Thanks

Amanda

I guess you have changed line 105, Amanda!?
Either way, it does not work ...

[lj20272]

Woops, yes, I meant line 105.

I also tried installing all the updated files with no success.
