Poll Manager Support Thread

Tim Ware:

Hi Great Mod,
i just tried to use it on Zen Cart v1.3.8a and it doesn't store any data in the database when you click send..

Is there any way to get this mod to work with Zen Cart v1.3.8a?
I just tried it on another site that has Zen Cart v1.3.8a and it worked perfectly.. :unsure: that server runs PHP Version 5.2.8

Does the mod work with PHP Version 5.2.13??

I developed PM with PHP 5.2.9, and I have just migrated to 5.3.2. On both versions I encountered no problems.

What happens after you clicked send? Do you get the statistics displayed? Any JS errors appear?
Can you post or send me the url to the site?

Thanks,
Boudewijn

Thanks for your reply,

When I click send it just refreshes the page and adds nothing and gives no errors.

However I have found a work around..

If i take the url produced by the site that works and enter it into the site that doesn't.. It works and adds the poll options just as it should..

The site that doesn't have a functioning poll manager backend can be found here: https://www.stillmomentsnursery.com

Thats the only part of the poll manager that doesn't work, the poll_manager.php seems to produce incorrect urls when adding to database. Everything else works great :yes:

The poll is working fine now with the work around. So i guess the best bet would be to wait until my host updates PHP.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tim,

Ooohhh I was on the wrong track.....
I thought you meant the poll box on the customers site.

Can you tell me the difference between the two URL's?
If youdon't want to post the URL's here, please send them by personal message.
What is the function you try to execute? Send?

As others also may encounter the same problem, I am quite anxious to fix this. At this moment I don't believe it has anything to do with the PHP version......

Hi all,

I just posted the final 1.0 version of Poll Manager.
It contains fixes based on further testing and feedback given on this forum:

• Added expandable poll blocks in admin interface
• Added use of regular message stack for errors in admin interface
• Fixed poll option renumbering after emptying option(s) in admin interface
• Fixed empty options disappear after submit of incomplete poll in admin interface
• Fixed wrong language constants in admin interface
• Fixed poll manager admin interface doesn't center in FF
• Fixed wrong number of voters for multiple choice polls in admin interface
• Added preload of 'loading' image
• Added configurable poll sidebox layout
• Moved indicator.gif to images/icons folder

Upgrade instructions are in poll_manager.txt, which is part of the package.

**Hi, please help, i have just installed the poll manager and all is well EXCEPT something has screwed up the position of my website title.

Lumtech should be centered in the oval background but now its shifted to the right, please advise :ohmy:

Otherwise this is great and just what i needed, thanks a lot

lumtech.co.uk**

Oh just realised its only doing it in Firefox :(

INTERNET EXPLORER

FIREFOX

EDIT: Problems solved, how can i delete / Edit my posts? :shocking:

I think you can't edit posts once they are entered....

Anyway, I'm glad you were able to fix this yourself :smile:

excellent.. installed and works first timeon 1.3.9f

great add-on!!

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.

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('"' => '"', ''' => ''',
should read: $field .= '>' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', ''' => ''',

How to change black font to white?

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!

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
