Okay, that seems a pretty good start : )

(Maybe i should write my own poll lol)

I'll have a look over the next couple of weeks I guess if i'm not to busy.
Currently i've got an assignment to do which has some PHP in it so I
might be able to have a play with a few things then hopefully.

I still have to release my version of the poll with some improvements and
a built-in help system. Which i'm gonna have to redo since I did it for 2.0.2.
and not 2.0.3 ^^;;

Just thought, I can't remember how the code looks off the top of my head
but I might try and put some 'coding standards' into like phpbb has. This is
mainly for myself so the code is well structured and will hopefully make it
easier for people to modify it, such as yourself : )

Do a search on how to reset you password for the guestbook it has
been covered in detail a couple of times and asked about 500 times.

Auron

Nope, the author goes by the username Webmaster i think.

NB. Don't bother paying to get rid of the copyright i know someone
who did. Its not worth it because he/she prvides no support anyway
its now more of a project run and supported by the community.

Admittedly he/she has updated the poll from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 but what
changes were made are unknown since they didn't write a changelog
file to let us the changes.

Auron

nice one

i've had them try and hack my site thru the guestbook...
prob is i don't have one

I laughed so much when i saw it in the log files! They don't
seem to realize i don't use the gbook, pretty obvious since
i only give help for the poll.

Auron

There are lots of mods for it made by a some1 on here.
Do a search for it, another user grouped them together in a zip file.

mod maker - Carbonize (i think)
group-er - Loyyd Borrett (or something like that)

Auron

When you open a popup window you have it going to a specific file...

popup.php

Put the poll code in that file!

Auron

Are you sure the extension is .php?

Anything else? Like errors?
Never had this happen after the file had an .php extension, before yes, after no o_0^

I'm still figuring out your code lol.
I didn't know you specify what the start and end poll's were for the poll list : )

If I put any code together i'll release it as a mod along with the other mods
i made for adv. poll 2.0.2 which i'll convert to 2.0.3 if necessary.

Most the mods are simple things that i put into do this, then that, and the
other kind of files like you get with phpBB when you have to install a mod.

IF there are spammers her why would they have a zero post count if they
were trying promote their site? No 1 is gonna go thru the member list going
to every1's sites. If they don't post you don't go to their site coz there's no
link. Also why post the solution here where they can see it and maybe write
a script to get round it. Your best bet is to go to the ADMIN OF THIS SITE!

Final point. Why do we care about spam here? Its not our forum. And there
isn't a lot of spam posts here at all. Apart from in the German bit there is
a few.

just my 2 cents...
Auron

Even if we did we wold have to keep bumping it since the admin here won't do anything.

Auron

You've been busy.

What you really need is a feature to group polls in the admin area and
then have a string to list that group of polls in various styles.

On a feature to select a number of polls...

Eg. 1-3, 5,7 Like you can in word when printing out certain pages.

Auron

In the file your including the poll get rid of any empty line returns and/or
lines with spaces on before or after your code - before and after...

<?php ... ?>
and
<html> ... </html>

Auron

Yes, once a poll has expired or been set to inactive you can still call
it using the same code you would normally use.

Auron

Its in a lang file somewhere.

Trying searching all the folders for it, if you can't find it maybe Carbonize
will know where it is or be able to help you.

Auron

Can you explain on what you want to do a bit?
Do you mean like group several polls together to make like a
questionnaire with one large total at the end? Or separate totals
for each poll / question?
