[SoftCorpse]

Hi, im using 1.38a

Installed but I am unable to add any polls, keep getting error:

"Please define at least two poll options!"

All fielsd have been filled out, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the mod.

[boudewijn]

A possile cause may be that another addon modified some of the standard functions of Zen-Cart. You have other addons installed? Can you check if either of them modified <admin>/includes/functions/html_output.php?

Hi,

The file is not the same as the standard file of version 1.3.9f.
I noted 3 differences, of which the last two should cause PHP errors. If I use the file you posted, the admin interface won't startup.

At the bottom: if ( ($session_started == true) && defined('SID) is missing a quote after SID
and some lines before that: $field .= '>' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => ''',
should read: $field .= '>' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => '&#039;',

How to change black font to white?

[boudewijn]

See the instructions in the help file, topic 'LAYOUT ISSUES'.

The definition in the file mentioned can be changed to:

define('PM_POLL_OPTIONS_LAYOUT', 'style="width:99%; color:#ffffff;" class="clearBoth"');

My html_output is attached. I have no idea if it has been modified or not, site has been running for ages and I have just recently required a poll.

Thanks for the help!

My html_output is attached. I have no idea if it has been modified or not, site has been running for ages and I have just recently required a poll.

Thanks for the help!

From the file you sent I can see you run ZC 1.3.8.a, and the file IS standard. So, I installed a clean copy of this version and only installed PM with it. Everything functions as it should.

So, either some other mod is messing up your PM, or I didn't do the right tests. In which case I need more info from you.
Can you point out exactely what steps you do, what you enter and what the result is?

Thanks,
Boudewijn
