So far, the other modifications have gone quite well.

I needed to change the table side, and was easily able to do that via the General Settings area. I did want to change the look of the "You've already voted." line. I easily did that with some html coding that I added right to the space in General settings, that allows for you to put what you want to say. Nifty feature (the fact that I can html code it right there, and not have to go digging into what php document is needed.)

I did want to change the size of the fonts in the survey, itself (and the results). That I did via the templates area. I changed them for both the survey, and the results template.

So, a minor recommendation would be to add to the general settings, the option to change the fonts size for the poll and the results page. It was easy enough to go into the templates and do it. Not being familiar with php, and the choices of the programmer, I had a little bit of trial and error. Nothing major, though. Was easy enough.

I did like being able to change and test the table side so easily. I could go back and forth easily; as opposed to doing it via the templates area.

So, just a thought, to add the size options in the General Settings area, should people want to change them from their default setting.

Thanks!

Okay, I got the answer to the colors here:

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4331&highlight=bars+showing

If I may, from the angle of someone who did not create the script and from a novice in php standpoint: The reason it was overlooked is because I did not see any notation on that page for the option of bar graph colors. So, I had no idea that I needed to tell it what colors I wanted (which is a nice option, btw).

As for the cookie's problem: It seems to be working now. I'd read last week, about checking for spaces. I went back in and checked for any spaces. There were some (I had just copied and pasted it from the reply in this post). After I removed them, it still continued to have the problem. I checked it again, this AM, and it is working. So, perhaps, my server needed to kick in with the change between the time I corrected it, and this am.

I have a couple of other modifications I need to make. Won't know how that will go till I try it

Thanks.

Hi. I don't understand why I can't select a different style poll? Can I, or can't I? I had planned on using the poll that was shown in the demo, that gave the bar results. That's the script I was looking for.

As for the repeat voting, before posting that it was doing this:

1.) I saw to put the code at the top of the page, before the <html> I did that. It's there.

2.) I'd changed the General settings to include "enabled" and "Logging on."

Now, this third part I just found:

"...(***NOTICE*** I've manged to get the IP logging working by just doing the next step here - General Settings... ect. and without the code at the top of the file). Next go to "General Settings" and down to "Miscellaneous" and then change the dropdown box next to check to IP table. This will check anyones IP, if its in the table they can't vote.

I don't see a "Miscellaneous" area in the General Settings area?

I don't understand? I saw the demos, and they each give a different result outcome. In admin area, it shows different outcomes. How do I get the poll with the graph?

Okay, one more problem. But first,
Thank you, Auron! It works now!

One problem: I changed the "results" to use the "simple" display. But, the bar graphs aren't showing.

They DO show up when I preview in the admin area. I saved the settings. But, for some reason they are not showing up when I log into the poll.

Oh, there is one other problem: I'm able to vote more than once.

Thanks!

Lastly, I redid the php file, to recheck everything. It's now at:

Hi, Auron. Thanks for the replies!

* I rechecked (for the, I've lost count, time - LOL), and yes: it appears that I input the correct info for the path. I even resorted to changing to the entire path (as I read some resolved certain issues doing that). The problem is puzzling.

The path is: http://www.applenetwork.us/poll
Everything is there.

* Yes, all the files are uploaded to the correct place. booth is in the poll directory, as is the cookie command.

* I think I've included the statements correctly. I really don't know much at all about php. Quite a novice at it. I do know html. I've gotten good info from you instructions at: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2067&highlight=poll

And I tried to follow it. But, I'm still having a problem.

I'll include the code in a seperate reply.

Hi, Auron. That's what I did.

Please take a look. The test site for the poll is:

http://www.applenetwork.us/poll/testpoll.php
and
http://www.applenetwork.us/testpoll.php

I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what it is.

Thanks.

Thanks, Auron. I did finally figure that out. But, I appreciate that you replied. I'm now having a problem going beyond that.

I created the poll, but don't know what to do. I found a document from a year ago. But, I'm still confused.

The script shows up when I view the "template" in the admin area. I am supposed to put that script into a document, and give it a php extension.

I did that, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I'd rather not have to look for another survey program and start over again. Does anyone know the solution to the problem I am experiencing?

I've read the posts in the forum. Perhaps I am going into the wrong area to make the changes I need to.

I now can log in. Images are not showing up, however. So, I went into the index.php file (in admin folder) and changed the directory for the graphics.

Now, the graphic shows up on the sign in page, but I can no longer sign in. I reupload the original index.php, and the graphic does not show, but I can sign in.

Yes, I changed the permissions both times. I've tried this several times, with the same problem. What is wrong?

I've been using leap ftp for years. Never had a problem

It's a very good ftp program.

The ftp program wasn't the problem. Getting an answer: that was the problem.

While I am disappointed that someone was unable to answer my question: I'd rather not leave a "problem solved" out of annoyance. I would rather leave a reply that will help someone else.

I reuploaded everything, again. Apparently, the ftp program was not set to upload php files in ASCII. I thought it had uploaded everything accordingly. I reviewed the settings (as I have just re-installed several programs; ftp being one of them). php files were not among the list of extensions to upload in ASCII.

So, if anyone has the problem in the future, check to see that your ftp program is uploading php files in ASCII.

HTH someone along the way.

I've done a forum search, but I come up with hundreds of posts that do not address my problem. One person did have a similar problem, but just replied that they resolved it. Can someone please help out with this?
