Hello,

I've installed Advanced Poll 2.02, and it all seem to be working great.

I've made a minor change to the "simple" template to include some <P> and </P> tags. The changes are saved correctly (if I change to a different template, then change back, the changes are in place).

But the changes never appear on the web page.

My template looks like:

<P>$question</P></b></font></td>

and my HTML to display the poll is :

include_once "/var/www/html/poll/booth.php";
$php_poll->set_template_set("simple"); // simple = template name
echo $php_poll->poll_process(5); // Poll 5 = Screen Resolution


but my resulting web page is:

<b>What is your normal screen resolution?</b></font></td>

whereas it should be :

<b><P>What is your normal screen resolution?<P></b></font></td>


I know the <P> tags should be done more tidily, but that's not the issue.

Please can anyone advise what I'm doing wrong? I'm on RedHat 9.0 with all the latest patches (via up2date) and I'm using MySql. My PHP version is 4.2.2 and my MySql version is 4.0.17

Many thanks,



Jim Willsher

PS The same happens with all templates, not just "simple".

What is the url of the webpage and Poll ?

Did you FTP the changed files to the correct directory ?

Use <p> and </p> not <P> and <P>

<b> is missing it seems in your modified template

What is the desired result ?? Bold or a New Paragraph ??

Hi pmonahan,

The URL is http://www.jwillsher.co.uk/Site/Software/BRU_Intro.php

Basically I want the poll text to appear in a <P> tag. That way it will honour my <P> override in my stylesheet which is loaded at the top of the html.


PANIC OVER.....

Looks like a caching issue! Strange! Works fine now.

Embarrassed...
