Changing Poll Templates

I am very new to the Advanced Poll and am not very familiar with php at all. However I have been learning this advanced poll very quickly. After looking thru the demos that come with the adv. poll I tried a snippet that I hoped would work and it did. So here is how to change wich template you would like to use. It is very easy.

Normally this code is what you would have in your html:

include_once "/var/www/htdocs/chris/yourdomain/poll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4); // x = Poll ID

Now add this:

$php_poll->set_template_set("simple"); // simple = template name

And this is how it should look in the end:

include_once "/var/www/htdocs/chris/yourdomain/poll/booth.php";
$php_poll->set_template_set("simple"); // simple = template name
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4); // x = Poll ID

Hope this helps.

Where it says:

echo $php_poll->poll_process(4); // x = Poll ID

the 4 should actually be x. The 4 is a variable that works with my polls but will not with yours unless you have a poll with the poll ID of 4.

Ignore the last post saying that it should be x !!!! It shouldn't it can be newest, random or any poll id so long as you have a poll with that id, so that that particular poll will have that template.

In your case if you have a poll with a poll id of '4' on that page it will use the template set 'simple'. If you have another poll on the same page with say a poll id of 3 it will not have use the simple template set unless you specify it for that poll.

hey thanks to whoever wrote this, this is what i needed. the templates would be useless without this so i dont know why they dont include in this in their manual

I figured it was something like this but just couldn't find it anywhere.
This should at least be included under the help button in admin section.
No diregard for the quality of the script, just made me feel like an idiot As simple and intuitive as everything else was, I was certain I was overlooking something.

Would have made life that much easier, and saved me a few hours.

Precise answer, very helpful!

I'm working on a new version of the script that does this.

It may not of seemed obvious to some of you (i don't know why) but this seems very easy to solve.
