Advanced Poll - All seems to work except comments

Robert — GMT

Hi!

I have installed and run the code now for about a week. I have things working on my home page and a special polls page with all polls listed. For some reason when I click on the comments link, it opens the windows but the browser shows and error (like the page cant be found).

Im sure its something simple. Any Idea's?

Thanks!

Problem Fixed

My configuration for the base url included polldata and should not have. Now all functions are working as they are supposed to.

comments don't work

Could you be more specific in how you solved your problem? I am getting the page not found error when hitting the comment button too.
thanks

I think you need to make sure your poll path is set correctly or fully.

Auron

where is it?

Thank you
which file is the poll path in?? I have installed this via cPanel that came with my hosting package.. most of the installation was done with a click of a button.

k, its in include/config.inc.php

The line you want is this one, #2/3...

[code]$pollvars['base_url'] = "/localhost/textfile";[/code]

Hope that helps,

Auron

hmmm...not there

no wonder it don't work.. I don't have that line in include/config.inc.php
I have:
(I'm paranoid..I changed the real domain to "domain")

/**
*
* MySQL -> class_mysql.php
* PostgreSQL -> class_pgsql.php
*
*/

$POLLDB['dbName'] = 'domain_book1';
$POLLDB['host'] = 'localhost';
$POLLDB['user'] = 'domain_book1';
$POLLDB['pass'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx';
$POLLDB["class"] = "class_mysql.php";

/* tables */

$POLLTBL["poll_config"] = "poll_config";
$POLLTBL["poll_index"] = "poll_index";
$POLLTBL["poll_data"] = "poll_data";
$POLLTBL["poll_ip"] = "poll_ip";
$POLLTBL["poll_log"] = "poll_log";
$POLLTBL["poll_comment"] = "poll_comment";
$POLLTBL["poll_user"] = "poll_user";
$POLLTBL["poll_tpl"] = "poll_templates";
$POLLTBL["poll_tplset"] = "poll_templateset";

?>

and that is ALL that is in that file

So your using the MySQL version then?

Then you'll need to use phpMyAdmin and find table poll_conifg and then
the field base_url and edit that to the correct path.

Auron

AAAgggrrr..this shouldn't be this hard

cherieb213 — GMT

well crap..you just lost me..I don't see WHERE I edit it..

I assume hit "change" next to base_url??
and when I do that I have the pick of 7 fields to change..none of them look like anything I need and they all look like something to break if I touch them..

this mySQL thing is like Greek to me...if it's set up automatically..why did it put the wrong path???

thanks for your help

If you've got cPanel then it has phpMyAdmin correct?

Auron

yes

cherieb213 — GMT

I see the file you are talking about..but have no idea how to change it..I have a feeling that it's ok..why would cPanel set everything else up right..but not the comment button???

Auron — GMT

its not the button its the path if it is not the FULL path to the poll directory
it won't work.

Eg...

www.yourdomain.com/data/poll

that path would be /data/poll

even if the page the poll was on was...

www.yourdomain.com/data/poll.php

you couldn't get away with

this path /poll

you'd have to put /data/poll

You see?

I completely understand what you are saying..I just don't know WHERE To change this information...

under general settings it says:

URL to poll directory and then in the box (that was auto configured)..it says
/pollphp

is this what I change???? (guess not..just tried it and it still doesn't work)
and why does the rest of the script work if this is wrong? (not trying to be argumentive..I'm learning...I learn by bugging the hell out of people with lots of questions :o))
thanks

cherieb213 — GMT

duh..am I dense or what?
it was not /pollphp but /poll

thanks..on to my next question (different thread)

thanks a million!!!
