1x150px

Is a way of stating an image 1 wide by 150 tall or the other way (I'm not sure which way since I didn't write it. Usually taken as width by height).

The px stands for pixel.

change extension from .html/.htm to .php

It is correct , in fact it outputs no errors

On your site there aren't guide

1) You haven't included booth.php (THAT'S THE PROBLEM!)
2) There is a guide on the first page if you read it!
3) Go to poll admin area -> last option (Help) all the code is there!
4) Go to poll list click on the little icons - the one labelled help.

have you got the correct path to the poll?
You may want to refer to the guide in my sig for more detailed information.

<?php // Important! You have to include it before your html code include_once "c:/hosting/mytag.org/wwwroot/my_php/sondaggi/poll_cookie.php"; ?> <html> <body> <?php $php_poll = new poll(); $php_poll->set_include_path($include_path); echo $php_poll->poll_process(1); ?> </body> </html>

Try this code and change the pages extension to .php if not already done so...

Auron

go to general settings and at the bottom you can change it.

Auron

You probably have *.php which has an include calling booth.php right?

Add after it...

And your done!

No problem. ^_^

My hosting company is Ready Hosting.

Does the comments page actually load up? Or does it just display that error or a 404 error?
If its either make sure you specify the 'full' path to the poll.

Eg.

should be...

Apart from doing that I'm stumped on that one. Are you using a PHP include
or an SSI one?

Go to free scripts -> demo adv. poll -> demo 4 near the bottom.

htown wrote:I noticed after downloading version 2.0.3 of Advanced Poll that the interface says 2.0.2, is this an oversight or do I actually have the incorrect version some how?

I haven't actually installed version 2.0.3... yet. All my ideas and my guides
were written for 2.0.2 but as people are finding them useful the changes
between 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 must be only small fixes and no new features.
I would most likely presume this is an oversight. You do have the correct version in short, so no worries there!

Hope it all works out!

Auron

No problem.

Glad you got it all sorted and working.
I know what you mean, PHP is an abosolute ^£(*"&^! when you have to set it up.

Auron

just set it to something like 9999 hours. By then that poll the cookie goes
with *should* be over and a new one should of started by then.

Auron

They only last 96hrs. Open up poll_cookie.php and change the no. of hours at the top.

Auron

isn't there an option under general settings or on that page at least.
Well i think there is...

Auron

There NEVER has been a poll 1.6
The latest version is 2.0.3 and the one before that was 2.0.2.

Auron

the other host does need php working otherwise it can't execute the
include code to get the file from your original server. Maybe your second
server has some hotlinking protection or something like that in place.

You can put a different poll on every web page if you want. Just use the
full path to it. Shown in the Admin area under the last link at the top.
