Installing Poll

Been searching thro and found this bit in config.inc

$POLLDB["dbName"] = "";
$POLLDB["host"] = "localhost";
$POLLDB["user"] = "root";
$POLLDB["pass"] = "";
$POLLDB["class"] = "class_mysql.php";

Do I need a database on my server to run Advanced Poll

I've got one but its being used for a forum similar to this one, does it mean I need two databases or is there a way to share one or don't I even need one?

Thanx

no, 2 versions textfile and MySQL/databse both in the same zip file.

Thanks Auron

I've created a poll and assume all the template codes are generated from that new poll. Do I just cut and paste those template codes into a page or are there futher edits to be made for the templates to work.

I'll just ask a little at a time as too much info gets me confused and is far harder to write down by the person explaining than it is by me to read and try to understand it.

nope the code it gives is all you need unless you need stuff as shown in
the demo polls on this site if you want to change the template set you just
need to add/change some code in the file the poll is shown in. The code is...

just change default to whatever the template set is called that you want.

I think the penny may have dropped!

Do I have to create a new seperate page for the poll result and use the generated code for that purpose.

Its just I assumed the program would do everything and all I had to do was enter some details of what to vote for into a template of questions.

Then hopefully up would pop a page saying cut and paste this code into your page on your site where you wish the poll to appear.

Silly me it looks as though it may be more complicated.

hmmm...
