Is the "Links" folder suppose to go into the CGI-BIN folder? Because if it is, I need to move it into the cgi-bin folder.

Hi,

At first: thank you for this script, it is wonderfull!

The poll works fine, but I have a problem and can not find the solution in the allready posted topics in this forum.

The poll is on the first page of my site where I have no room for the comments. So I use the popup-poll, which results are shown in a new window. But how do I get the comments in that window?

In the demo I found how to show the comments, but then they appear on my first page and not in the popup window with the results! How do I get them there?

Additional question for the next release of your script: why aren't the comments automatically shown when you enable comments in the poll-editor? The mailform does! I see in the forum that a lot of people are confused about the comments, because they are not shown when you use the standard php-code to include the poll.

Thanks for your time, I hope you can help me out.

The link page from my index page is a totally different link script (called LinkDept). Thats the one I want to replace with this one we are talking about. I will try what you suggested, thanks.again.[/u]

Can I email you the URL of that error page? I would prefer not to paste it here. It is giving me alot of info below the initial error. I will paste the links.pl (only partial part of script) below so maybe you can advise if I have the paths incorrect.

# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/links.pl";

# base url to all link files without trailing "/"
$link_url = "http://mywebsite.com/links";

# base directory to all link files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "/domains/mywebsite.com/usr/cgi-bin/links";

# default index page of your choice
$index_url = "http://mywebsite.com/links/ffa-business.html";

After you view the URL to the error page maybe it will show what I have done wrong.

You let me know if thats ok with you.

Thanks.

I changed the folder to chmod 777, did you say I need to change the FILES in the folder to 777?[/u]

Greetingsi Carbonize,

I am stil getting the below message after hitting the "submit URL" button :

Cannot create ID file links_id.txt in /domains/cafedesire.com/public_html/cgi-bin/links. Please check your base directory.

after CHMOD to 777 the links directory. It has to be something simple I would think.

Yes, I too would like to know this...

I am getting this error message when I try to submit a link:

Cannot create ID file links_id.txt in cafedesire/user/links. Please check your base directory.

What the heck did I do wrong?

Thanks much for any help..........

please email me at : perconi@yahoo.com

I need the same answers!!

Really would appreciate it mates!!

me not see v1.5, only 1.2

Please delete this topic I found that it has been answered many times

Ok I just got 2.3.1 intalled and everything changed over. I still have no idea on how to change the comment color from black (the page background color) to red. Please help.

Make sure that the page your poll is embedded in has the
<?php require "poll_cookie.php"; ?>
tag before anything else. It must be at the very top of your page, before the <html> tag!

I think I figured it out. Still learning php and the advanced poll program. Not bad for 24 hours of work.
Thanks.
