Poll Manager Support Thread

Just installed this and everything seems to work except when I submit a vote. I get a 404 error.

Any suggestions? I have double checked to make sure all the files are in the correct folder.

Just to make sure, is zcrpc.php in the root folder of your ZC installation? If not, place it there, if so, tryto replace it with a fresh copy.

Thanks!

I thought I put that file there but I guess i didnt.

Poll is working perfectly! Any way to make the results percentages instead of total votes?

Hi,

I presume the % of the number of voters would be most significant. Just keep in mind that the total % will be more than 100%.

Why would it be more than 100%? It should be exactly 100%.

That is correct for single choice polls but not for multiple choice polls.

I see. I hit multiple choice rather than single choice

Is there any way to get the poll box to always show the results of the poll after a user has submitted the poll, rather than having the box disappear altogether. It would seem maybe they would want to see what everyone else had voted. Thanks. If monetary compensation for this change is needed let me know.

Hi,
It's already a standard function to display poll results to a user. If it doesn't work for you, there must be something wrong.
Can you:

1. Check if poll votes are processed and visible with the admin interface?
2. Check if the file zcrpc.php is in place in the root folder of the website?

Compensation is not needed, but if you want to express your appreciation, please make a PayPal donation, to the email address mentioned in the head section of poll_manager.txt.

Hi boudewijn, great add :smile:

I wonder if there is a possibility that the results of the vote (pool) are put in one page of the ZC that visitors can visit and see the results of all vote?

Hi, thanks!

You mean like a new page, middle of the screen?
How would you like to control that as admin? Order? What polls to show or not show?

Oh by the way, I see that you translated the poll manager language file into Servian. If you wish, I can add this to the next PM version.

Hi, I meant like new page (like EZ page) or some else page, it can by in middle of the screen.
Yes, to control via admin what poolls to show.

Like the show the results of voting, when a user fills pool, so on a separate page thet hi can see the results of any pool. :blush:

You do not have to put Serbian in the new version, should be translated only three words.

It would be a nice addition to PM....
May take some time though, because as always there are more ambitions than time is available for them.

My poll results also disappear. The poll votes are visible in admin & I have zcrpc.php present in my public_html (root). I'm using zen 1.3.8a.

Btw this poll will be absolutely brilliant for me if it showed the results at all times, it's exactly what I've been waiting for:D

...Actually I would prefer to keep the poll open regardless of whether or not someone votes, if I could pull this off then that would solve my problem anyway, (probably).

Now I just have to work out what to change...

I think it's this line in includes/modules/sideboxes/poll_box.php :

	// It's a real user. Now check if he/she has polls left to answer.
	$poll_query = $db->Execute("SELECT * FROM " . PM_TABLE_POLLS . " LEFT JOIN " . PM_TABLE_POLL_OPTIONS . " ON p_id=o_poll_id LEFT JOIN " . PM_TABLE_POLL_RESULTS . " ON (o_poll_id=r_poll_id AND r_ip='" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "') WHERE r_ip IS NULL AND p_status=1 ORDER BY p_id, o_id");

I've tried commenting it out but that doesn't work.

I've had a few drinks tonight so that's the limit of my imagination gone I'm afraid!

Hi,

If the votes are processed, the communication between poll box and server works correctly. But for some reason the results are not shown in the browser. Some questions:

1. What version of PM?
2. What browser/version?
3. Can you give me the URL to your site so I can see what happens?

Thanks
Boudewijn

What is the deeper thought behind this? You want users to be able to vote the SAME poll multiple times?

I have a draft version ready. You can have a look at the url which is in my signature, replacing 'www' with 'test'.
You have a test site yourself? Then I can send you the package for PM 1.1 so you can try it yourself.
