- Or just do a search on this forum for password

I think you should just decide which version you want to use - database or textfile - and put the files for that version in a directory you create named 'poll'. Your directory structure then should end up like this:

public_html

poll
[list:4acc91a215]

admin

image

include

(etc.)

[/list:u:4acc91a215]
Then when you get in the Admin Panel, go to General Settings and change the following:

URL to poll directory: /poll
URL to image directory: /poll/image

Also click on Change Password to change the username and password.

Change the colors in Admin, General Settings, Table, Font And Color Options

No... some days are just better than others.

Why not try a test poll? Start with the demo1.php file that came with the poll program or try the test poll below.

1. Save the following as a document called polltest.php

2. Replace the path in the above code with yours.

include "poll/poll_cookie.php"; - assumes you have the poll files in a directory called poll. If not, change "poll" to your poll directory name.

include_once "/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/poll/booth.php"; - In Advanced Poll's Admin Panel, click on help, and it will give you your code.

3. In Advanced Poll's Admin Panel, make sure you have created a poll with ID #1.

4. Put the polltest.php file on your server that has php. Without php, you will only get "poll_process(1); ?> " or something like that.

If this works for you, it should give you an idea how to incorporate the poll into one of your existing pages. Otherwise if you need more help, you will probably have to allow someone access to set it up for you.

Good luck.

It makes sense that it wouldn't be necessary - this is calling up an image, not php.

Thanks for responding. So now I know the file doesn't need the .php extension. Great.

The document you want the counter on needs to have the .php extension. From your post, it looks like that is xmas2.htm. So change the name to xmas2.php. Then there is no need to place the extension inside the code:

If your counter.php file is not in the same directory as xmas2.php, then you need to adjust the path.

The instructions say:

Give write permissions on the directory and on the counter file.

- pages 777 (drwxrwxrwx) (directory)
count.txt 666 (-rw-rw-rw)

Chmod the "pages" directory to 777 and the "count.txt" file in the "pages" directory to 666. The "Counter" directory remains at 755. Also, you didn't need to change permissions on your directory that has the xmas2.php file.

Another question: Are you using a flatfile or database?

Referring to the information on the site that was asking for help - "have a !@&%y Christmas." I was just stating that if I believed in Christmas I would probably be offended.

As far as Christmas paganism, that's a topic having nothing to do with the scripts on this site. However, I would love to discuss it if anybody is interested. Your site forum or mine?

Well, Auron is the expert here. I was just being nosy.

Perhaps he will come along and answer your question.

Sorry... I guess I wasn't too clear on that.

Click on "show legend" underneath the smilies. If all of the smilies you want to use aren't there, you need to scan and add the codes for them. The instructions for scanning are at the first part of this thread.

So, I think you should scan first and put in the info for all the smilies you will want to use; then add any additional rows you want on the signin page.

Just when you think you've heard it all... Fortunately, I don't believe in Christmas Paganism.

Here are some posts that might help.

I am sure Carbonize will be along to assist you with the problem you are having with the new field.

As far as the error message, "Cannot Modify Headers..." This usually happens because of the editor you are using. I find most text editors cause this problem for me. That's why I use my FTP program to edit my files. I am using Cute FTP, which also shows the line numbers. However, some FTP programs do not have a built-in editor and so cause the problem, too. Also, I have found it eliminates the problem if you edit the files in the File Manager section of CPanel.

Anyway, it is a matter of looking through those files and eliminating blank lines. Here is a thread on the subject:
