Link to poll archives?

Anyone know how to set up links to individual past polls?

Guess not.

Shame, this is very good polling script. Too bad there is zero documentaion or support.

Auron has written some tutorials on using the Advanced Poll.

List all polls

Here's how I did it, based on the sample in [url=http://javazone.de/demo/poll/demo_3.php]Demo 3[/url]:

1. Create a .php document to hold the code to list all the polls. (I named this file listpolls.php). It will list links to all polls, including expired:

[code]

content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Opinion Polls
type="text/css">

/* path */
$poll_path = dirname(__FILE__);

require_once $poll_path."/poll/include/config.inc.php";
require_once $poll_path."/poll/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require_once $poll_path."/poll/include/class_poll.php";
require_once $poll_path."/poll/include/class_pollcomment.php";
require_once $poll_path."/poll/include/class_plist.php";
$CLASS["db"] = new polldb_sql;
$CLASS["db"]->connect();

$php_poll = new plist();

/* poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("plain");
$php_poll->set_max_bar_length(125);
$php_poll->set_max_bar_height(10);
if (isset($_GET['poll_id'])) {
echo $php_poll->poll_process($_GET['poll_id']);
} else {
echo $php_poll->poll_process("random");
}

/* poll list */
$php_poll->set_template("poll_list");
$php_poll->set_date_format("m/d/Y");
echo $php_poll->view_poll_list();
echo $php_poll->get_list_pages();

?>

[/code]

I have my listpolls.php file in the root directory and not in the polls directory, which is why I needed to add poll/ to the path. If you put listpolls.php in your poll directory, it would be:

[code]require_once $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require_once $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require_once $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
require_once $poll_path."/include/class_pollcomment.php";
require_once $poll_path."/include/class_plist.php"; [/code]

2. If you only want to link to certain polls, create a second .php document to list only the polls you want. (I named this file opinionpolls.php). Link to each poll as follows:

[code] href="listpolls.php?poll_id=1">What OS are you currently using?[/code]

Or just include the links in any existing .php file.
