i made a poll and copied the following

[code] include_once "/home/miztiik/domains/responsiblecitizen.uni.cc/public_html/survey/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4);

?>[/code]

now i need to know how to make the poll follow a template like simple/default or a popup

Now comes the difficult part
Can I use my own template? I designed one using the Admin panel, it's available in the template drop-down menu, I can preview it etc. BUT when I include the code:

$php_poll->set_template_set("Modern");

the poll doesn't appear at all...
Any suggestions?

do you get any error messages from php?

Nope, nothing whatsoever, no trace of poll

maybe this post will help

are you properly linking/saving your template in the dropdown to the correct poll?

does your template contain both the question and answer section of the code?

assuming you started with an existing template to create your new template, did you properly save the new template when you changed the code?

Thank you!
Reading other postings I eventually found a solution:
in order for my template to show, I had to change the "include_once" to "require_once":

require_once "/web/d2/w/cheeseus/cheeseus.org/poll/textfile/booth.php";
$php_poll->set_template_set("Modern");
echo $php_poll->poll_process(11); // x = Poll ID

Then, as it were, I had forgotten to make the templates for the Poll Result and the Comment, but now I made them, so it's all running smoothly!
Thanks once again!
