Hello, I can't upload any picture (gif/jpg) to my guestbook. Everything else works great. I work with a Windows 2000 server and IIS (latest service packs).
Do anyone know what the problem good be?
Thanks,
Olof

I've got the same issue. I have everything working good except the bar for the images.

I took the suggestions of the image directory in the admin section general settings.

Actual Dir:
www.(myserver).com/poll/image

I have tried:

/poll/image
poll/image
/poll/image/
poll/image/

Also:

http://www.(myserver).com/poll/image

Same result with both.

I even tried using absolute server path:

/www/a/(myname)/htdocs/poll/image

nothing still

I checked the SRC of the output HTML and it shows:

<img src="/poll/image/blank.gif" width="50" height="10"> 75.0%</font></td>

blank.gif

Of course all the gif files are there. /poll/image

anything else that could be the cause? any other way to notate the dir?

When i change it to a bogus DIR:

/blah/blah

All my Admin Icons get broken Image links.

I refresh like crazy too.....

Hmmmm...

Hi Ich hab da ein kleines Problem bei includen der Comments
Und zwar include ich die Comments so

Sobald ich dann aber die Seite aufrufe in der ich die Comments included habe kommt dieser Fehler

Ich werde da nicht ganz schlau draus kann mir da vieleicht einer weiterhelfen.

I found out that there's the same problem with the submit button on the page where you preview your entry. So I guess the problem isn't in the form.php file but with the addentry.php or some other place...?

Oh, and I tried changing the place it was redirecting after you clicked on the submit button. It goes where I want but then the message doesn't show up in the guestbook.

Thanks for your patience.

in db directory there is a directory called "Install" lauch index.php (or something like it, could be install.php 2, I don't remeber)
Read the instructions if this doesn't work.

The installation will make these tables that aren't there now. Hope u understand me.

Good luck!

There have been a number of posts over the past few weeks and months about AP's ability to prevent people from voting too often via IP logging and tracking (IP Table Check & locking timeout).

I was unable to get this working. Actually, what was happening was that once someone voted -- they couldn't vote again. Even after the 'x' number of hours I set for the locking timeout.

I could be wrong about this, but it appears that the cookie handling features of AP are interfering with the IP tracking/locking.

If you're like me, the first thing I did after installing AP was to do what the faq.txt said and put <?php require "poll_cookie.php"; ?> at the top of my html/php page. This appears to be a mistake if you intend to use IP checking. The first time you fire up your browser to look at your poll a cookie is set. And it doesn't expire for 96 hours. The 96 is hardcoded inside poll_cookie.php.

At this point, whatever changes you make to the IP tracking/locking stuff in the admin tool are moot. The code that checks IPs, etc., will never be excuted because the cookie checking code comes first. So, even though I turned IP checking completely off, I still couldn't get people to vote because they had a cookie set and it wasn't going to expire for 96 hours. Well, I guess it was about 60 hours by the time I figured this out.

What I did to "fix" this (it's more of a hack really) is to comment out the first 5 lines in the has_voted() function in the class_poll.php file in the ./include subdirectory. This disables the cookie check and allows the IP checking to actually be executed. Of course you should only do this if you want to use IP checking. An alternative fix might be to change the '96' hour cookie expiration in poll_cookie.php to something shorter to fit your needs. Or take out the reference to poll_cookie.php altogether if you won't be using the cookie checking. But, keep in mind, for people who have already voted, that 96-hour cookie will still be in effect if you leave the cookie check code in place in the has_voted() function in class_poll.php.

Again, I hope I have this right and I would appreciate someone coming behind and checking my work. It would be nice to see the admin tool updated so that I can pick which method I want to track voters (IP checking vs. cookies) and be able to control cookie expiration. And, I'd like to do it on a poll-by-poll basis, rather than poll-system-wide. There are other things too that should be moved out of 'general settings' so that they can be set on a poll-by-poll basis, like colors, fonts, diplay order, number of options, etc. But that's a different post...

das downloadscript sieht ja echt gut aus. leider liest der bei mir nur das root. also :
$base_dir = "/";

jede andere pfadangabe wird ignoriert.

# path to the downloads from the server root! (use for scanning)
$base_dir = "/verzeichniss

PLZ HELP ME!
Auron is good at helping*

Why is it that when I log in to the admin panel the host is shown instead of a regular ip adress

Example: ip3e837d17.speed.planet.nl
3eea14d9.cable.wanadoo.nl

Can you please help me?

Thanx allready!
