Oh yes, and I forgot one more thing. Once you embed the syntax into your webpage, you need to save your page with the .php extension.
If you save the web page with your embedded poll as a .htm or .html file it will not work. It is as simple as that. The .php extension tells the server, when it examines the file, that it contains php code.

Ok, I had the same problems.

First of all, you only upload either the db or the textfile copy to your server. It just depends on which one you want to use. db requires that your server have MySQL 3.2x or PostgreSQL AND PHP3 or PHP4 installed. The textfile version only requires PHP3 or PHP4.

Secondly, there is no admin.php file. There is only an index.php file in the admin folder. So, once you have all the files uploaded to you server and chmod them all correctly, then you open your browser and go to the directory where you put your files, for example:

http://www.yourdomain.com/polls/admin/index.php

This will take you to the login screen, where you can log in for the first time with admin//poll as the username and password.

Once you are in, you need to immediately change the username and password to something other than the defaults.

Lastly, there is the issue of the image files not showing up. That is because the programmer put in default paths to the images.
I beleive it was something like:

/~poll/phppoll/image/

...but I don't remember exactly. So, the reason the images are not showing up is because these images are not in that directory. They are in the directory that YOU created on your server. You simply need to correct the paths by going to the general settings tab and filling out the "URL to poll directory" and "URL to image directory" fields. Replace the defaults paths in these two fields with the correct paths (the ones you created on your server).

That should do it the trick.

What?! how is possible? no answers????!!!???

If you know the solution to the problem..... PLEASE HELP!

JC.

you dont neeed it install.php!!!!
yust use the index.php en put the right settings en there you go
works fine for me

go to index.php en start it than go to General Settings
en whrite the right URL to poll directory same by URL to image directory
en you wil get your image back

Alright, that gets you into the set up script, but the images don't load because it's probably expecting the index.php / admin.php or whatever to be in the root of the poll directory, not /admin.

What needs modifying to get the images to load, it's all a bit pointless without them.

I agree, the readme.txt is far too vague to be of any real help. I can't even get the install.php page to load, i get a page from my host company saying that the file isn't correctly configured.

Hi,

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem... when I change the language option to spanish, never work again

Help, when trying to insert an image whether .jpg or .gif I receive the following type error. This one is for a .gif. The image will display on the preview page without an error. Once final submit is done the error appears on the redirect page. Yet after returning to the read guestbook, the image does appear correctly as a thumbnail in the guestbook listing.

Warning: ImageCreateFromGif: No GIF support in this PHP build in /home/nellpy/nellpy-www/redzign/danny/guestbook/lib/image.class.php on line 126

I love the guestbook. Loads fast and is easy to use. Yet I have been unable to get the notify email to work. The thank you email does work. The signer will receive a reply, but the email to the webmaster that a guestbook message has been entered does not. The options have been selected properly in the admin. Does anyone know why and how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Penelope

I figured it out....sorta. Don't understand it yet but I got it to work.

Apparently I have a lot to learn about php.

I saved the same code basically as a php page and it works fine.

I guess I need to learn what that's all about if I'm going to use this stuff.

Any comments for an idiot would be appreciated.

I have tried about every combination.

I installed and have 3 demo poll. I also set up 2 new ones with modified templetes.

They all appear fine in the admin and on the demo page. Just can't get them to appear on my html page (I'm testing an a black page that just has the code for the poll inserted)

On the demo page this is the code given:

header
<?php require "./booth.php"; ?>

body
<?php
echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);
?>

Looks simple but does not work. The only thing that displays on my html page is:

poll_process(1); ?>

Apparently the poll_process variable is not being recognized.

Any assistance is appreciated.

In the admin folder use index.php. That will take you to the login for the admin control panel.

Hallo also mein Gästebuch (Vers 1.5) läuft fehlerfrei ausser dass sich offenbar keine zweite Eintragsseite aufbaut.
Ich bekomme folgende Fehlermeldung:

Cannot add entry to guestbook because the html tag

<option value="guestbook.html" selected>Gästebuch</option>
was not found in some guestbook files.

Im anderen Forum hat eine Userin das gleiche prob. Leider gabs keine Antworten. Weis jemand Rat?
