Are you using a different template other than the default template?

I believe the setting you made in General Settings is the "$pollvars[table_width]"

Try clicking on "Templates" and select the template you are using. Click on "Poll View" and look under "display_head" to see the table width. Then click on "Poll Result" and look under "result_head" to see the table width. If they don't match, maybe change them to match.

or

You must first create a database. This is usually done from CPanel, MySql - but in some cases the host must create the database.

Some hosts require you to use an identifying prefix which is usually your user login. So, if you create a database called "polls", and your username is "Jones", your database name would be "Jones_polls". At the time the database is created, an authorized user is also assigned, with a password. The username may also need to use the prefix. In naming the database, you need to take into consideration what it will be used for. If you are only allowed one database which will be used for everything, it wouldn't make sense to name it "polls".

You need to find out from your host what the proper procedure is for setting up your database and how many databases you are allowed.

As stated, In the file include/config.inc.php, you need to record your database info (database name, username and user password). I have never found it necessary to change localhost. I am non-technical, but it sounds like it is referring to the server the page is on. I think you should leave localhost as it was.

Practically everyone installing from Fantastico has issues. Suggest downloading the program from this site and installing it yourself.

Auron has written instructions which can be found on this site using the search feature. A search will also provide answers to many other questions. The readme file may also offer a little help.

There are two versions of the poll program - one using a database and another using flatfile. It appears you are using the database version, in which case, the program needs to have access to your database.

The error message says "Using password: NO". The password for your database has not been supplied. In the file include/config.inc.php, you need to record your database info (database name, username and user password):

Once it is set up correctly, you can go to the Administration Panel and log in. In the help section it will give you the code to place on your page.

Can I get the mod for the time/date in comment ? Thanks.

I do not understand your issue. FYI, this block was created for the regular Advanced Guestbook added to PhpNuke, not the PhpNuke Guestbook. The difference is, the first method just uploads the advanced guestbook in the modules directory and edits the code in admin/config.inc.php file to show true instead of false:
The Advanced Guestbook does not use prefixes. I don't use the PhpNuke Guestbook module that was created, so I don't know if it uses prefixes. You can tell by looking in the database.

Correction: The Advanced Guestbook prefix is "book". It is shown in the above block: "FROM book_data"

I looked at the .sql file for the nuke guestbook and see that in it the prefix was changed to "nuke".

I do not know the advantage of using the PhpNuke Guestbook module, since just adding the regular guestbook files to the modules directory works fine.

Correction: Remembering now that once installed in the modules directory, modifications to the regular Advanced Guestbook are not effective. Carbonize's new version with all of the modifications included should solve this issue.

it has to be
Code:
$content .= " <center><a href=\"modules.php?op=modload&name=guestbook&file=index&agbook=addentry\">Sign Guestbook</a> </center>";

I see now what you mean, and yes, you are correct. The above code is not calling up any scrolling text but is merely a link to the signin page. Thanks. I corrected it in the previous posts.

If you set up your polls as in Demo 3, it can show results for closed polls.

I tried the block again just now and it works fine. Here it is below with the scrolling added.

I don't think blocks ever get coded to admin. Name the block file something like "block-Guestbook.php" and upload it to the blocks directory. Then in admin.php, select "blocks". Then scroll down past "Blocks Administration" to the "Add a New Block" section. In The "Title" section type the name you want for the block, "Guestbook." Then pick the filename from the dropdown box, "Guestbook.php". Indicate whether it should be on the left, right or in the middle and confirm that you want to add the block.

The following scrolling block works in PhpNuke 7.4 patched:

$content = "<A name= \"scrollingCode\"></A>";

$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
 $content .= "<big>&middot;</big>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=guestbook&amp;rop=showcontent&amp;id=$row[id]\">$row[comment]</a> ";
}

$content .= " <center><a href=\"modules.php?op=modload&name=guestbook&file=index&agbook=addentry\">Sign Guestbook</a> </center>";
?>

I tried this a while back with no luck. This block works for everything else except the Guestbook, including homemade modules. Wondering if it is because the IDs used in Guestbook show the whole page instead of just one entry?

Anyway, here is a block in case Carbonize or someone else wants to fix it. This is not a scrolling block but just a block to show the last 10. It does not produce any error message - Will show the block with the bullets, but will not show the content.

You should disable html in the guestbook.

You should turn off indexing on your server, because your files list is exposed.

A good host, like the one I am using, would have this problem resolved for you in minutes. If you pay them for service, you might want to consider switching to a better provider.

It sounds like the book directory has to be 777, but maybe Carbonize can advise you by looking at the code from the guestbook.pl file:

open(FILE,">$base_dir/$book_file") || &error("The directory $base_dir requires mode 777!");
flock(FILE,2) if ($lock == 1);
 foreach $line (@booklines) {
 if ($line =~ /^.*.*/) {
 ($part1, $part2) = split(/\s*/,$line);
 print FILE "$part1";
 print FILE "\n";
 print FILE "\n";
 print FILE "<tr bgcolor=\"$entry_bg\"><td width=\"32%\">\n<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>\n";
 print FILE "<tr><td>$entry_id)</td>\n";
 print FILE "<td>$FORM{'username'}</td></tr>";
 if ($FORM{'email'}) {
 print FILE "<tr><td><img src=\"$mail_img\" width=20 height=17></td>\n";
 print FILE "<td><a href=\"mailto:$FORM{'email'}\">$FORM{'email'}</a></td></tr>\n"; 
 } 
 if ($FORM{'url'}) {
 print FILE "<tr><td><img src=\"$url_img\" width=20 height=20></td>\n";
 print FILE "<td><a href=\"$FORM{'url'}\" target=\"_blank\">$FORM{'url'}</a></td></tr>\n"; 
 }
 print FILE "</table>\n</td><td width=\"68%\">\n";
	 print FILE "$FORM{'message'}<hr size=1>\n";
 print FILE "<img src=\"$arrow_img\" width=9 height=9>$this_day $host</td></tr>\n";
 print FILE "\n";
 print FILE "$part2";
 $succes = 1;
 }
 else {
 print FILE "$line";
 }
 }
close(FILE);

template.html is a file that is supposed to be in your book directory. Maybe it got accidentally erased or corrupted? You should upload it again to your server.

Thank you, Lloyd. Appreciate your passing on your tweaks for the rest of us.

When someone else develops a program and allows us to use it freely, we are not supposed to remove their links without their permission and, in most cases, paying a fee. I believe removing these links without permission is considered stealing. See the post below.

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3576&highlight=poll+link

That said, you should contact the author for instructions on removing the links.

You also need to put the database info in the config.inc.php file:
