Hallihallo,

Finde euren Zähler super.. nur zeigt er bei mir die Referrer nicht an.. woran könnte dies liegen..

Mfg Slimz

OK, i made it work. How do I implement the polls that i make on a web-page?

When I open the pollphp.zip there is 2 sub-dirs under the pollphp dir. That is "DB" and "textfile" dirs. Do I have to upload both dirs? I have uploaded both dirs and I have CHMOD'ed all files that the readme file told me to do, but I get this message when i try to install it:

I did make it work one time, but know I don't remeber how I made it work. I have made changes to the config.inc.php file.
There is another file, config.php, where do this file go?

--Newbie PHP

Obviously dont want to tell us

Well i find it sad that no one can offer a suggestion or idea.

Here is what i have found so far:

BTW i am using the advanced poll, php version, on a linux server runnig free bsd, apache, php 4.2

the problem appears to be that the scripts cannot handle an outrageous amount of activity.

i had over 3500 votes in 48 hours

about then is when it would shut down the poll

i actually caught it in the middle of going tits up

i had about 20 items to vote on, and half of them dissapeared

steps i took when creating the next poll

changed the password (again)

set a timeout for votes (12 hours)

Closed the program not just the browser window
(there is no logout link or button) just an X like in windows
this seems to be the logout

set an expire day

results:

much fewer votes ( so obviously people were going nuts on the votes )
better real results
it seems stable after 48 or so hours

conclusion:

i don't know, i am new to php
is there a file locking issue with php like there is with cgi ?
if so, is there a way to fix it ?
does it just go tits up after 3500 votes ??
should i have set these settings like i have in the first place??
if so then a little text file on how to and why to setup would have been nice

I had the same.

Open up config.inc.php and amend the database settings at the top:

/* database settings */

$GB_DB["dbName"] = "name of database";
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = "your user name";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "password";

(modify the red bits)

Save and upload

Getting error when trying to install.php in MYSQL. Please help. Error is listed below :

Error
SQL-query :

<?php
include "./admin/config.inc.php"

MySQL said:

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '<?php
include "./admin/config.inc.php"' at line 1

For english and german it may work with the following changes (guestbook 2.3.1 !!!):

(I show the previous 2 lines of code)

templates\success-php.htm (starts from line 1)

lib/vars.class.php (starts from line 35)

You can call the different languages through
http://xyz/guestbook/index.php?language=german
or
http://xyz/guestbook/index.php?language=german

My solution is not very nice as it seems that the guestbook does not autoconvert Umlauts to &xyz; neither stores it as unicode. So you will see some distortions if you switch to english encoding.

To the author(s) of Advanced Guestbook:
It would be really great if all languages could be shown properly! Are there any plans to implement this feature?[/b]

Users can make comments. But this comments can be read from admin only!

Please help! How to show comments to users?

I'll have to post my mod for individual page counting. I have to figure out how I did it though. I've been using the mod for over a year.

How can I add screen resolution and screen depth to the stats?

I wish I knew - it'd be in there like a shot!

Ok, I figured it out. To get full version numbers counted:

For Netscape 7:
Replace the above code for Netscape 7 with the following:

For Internet Explorer:
Replace the above code for IE with the following:

For Mozilla:
Replace the above code for Mozilla 5 with the following:

For previous releases of Netscape Navigator:
Replace the above code for Netscape Navigator with the following:

To add the Phoenix browser:

That should do it.

Next: How can I add screen resolution and screen depth to the stats? I got only as far as the log.pl being able to write the info into the logs. Stats.pl crashes when trying to read the logs. I added the two extra parameters into the stats.pl file. That's as far as it will go. Any ideas?

You forgot to change the permissions on the public folder and the temp folder. You have to change it to 777. You can do this by using ws_ftp pro.
Make a ftp connection. On the remote site right (single)click the map or file. Theb right click and choose ftp commands->cmod

I would beleive (haven't tried though), that you can edit the poll data in either your MySQL/SQL database (if using db version), or in /polldata/, where 1, 2, 3, etc. is the poll id's. If you want to change data for poll1, you right click the file named 1, and choose: send to->notepad(or some other txt prog (turn word wrap off!)).

Hope it helped,
Joachim

anybody?
