No, not without some heavy modifications. However, anonymous votes are included in the upcoming version 2.0

Help

I’ve just noticed you can only vote in the poll if you are a registered user. Is it possible to change this so that anyone can vote?

Thanks very much, hope i'm not bothering you with all my questions of late (probably am).

Help

just what i was after, only the graphic bars are not in the example you gave and i don't know what to do to make them appear, could you modify it to do this please

Oh, and a "total votes:" bit would be really cool.
Thanks

Ps. I want to use this code

<a href="https://www.contentteller.com/javascript:history.go(-1)">Back to previous page</a>

on poll_done instead of a link to index.php, only because it doesn't refesh the page it doesn't update the poll. Is there a way to use this and refresh the page?

$pollbox .= "<input type=radio name=vote value=$y>$option<br />";

$pollbox .= "<br /><input type=hidden name=poll value=$polldata[poll_id]><input type=submit value=Vote>";



}

FYI: Make sure you put the $pollbox var into a <form> in your template or else clicking [Vote] won't do anything.

This is not possible without heavy modifications because of the caching system. Only the site_header and site_footer templates are created dynamic and without the caching system.

This is not true. I figured out how to tweak the headlines templates to put *any* code you want into any of the headlines blocks. It's actually quite trivial. Here's how you do it:

1) Edit main_block_file to this:

<?php

global $insert;



// get current .block file

if ($insert[story_blockline] == "recon")

{

include("scripts/recon_pic.php");

}



if ($insert[story_blockline] == "poll")

{

include("scripts/pollcode.php");

$this_block = $pollbox;

}



$EST_TEMPLATE = <<<TEMPLATE



<!-- Template main_block_file -->

$this_block



TEMPLATE;

?>

2) Now, under the website section in the admin CP, you configure the blocks. Make the title anythig you want. Select "Use custom block file" for "Block #x", and you must create a custom block named whatever you want, and enter that name in the "Block file for Block #x". The block file containts the keyword that the main_block_file template looks for.

So, in my example above, the poll.block file contains ONLY the word poll (no whitespace or linefeeds). When the template 'runs', the custom block I specified in the Websites section will match the "poll" keyword, and therefore run my custom pollcode.php script.

The same thing happens for my recon_pic.block, except that time it will run my custom recon_pic.php script and return the results into the headline block.

You'll have to expand/change the template to suit your script names and keywords. Make sure the output of your script is returned in the $this_block var.

It's tricky to explain, but works like a charm. And lol, when all is said and done, I decided to keep the poll in the left menu, and put the last 10 forum topics in the right headlines block, but at least I figured out how to put any code into any headline block. 8) As far as I can tell, the cache doesn't have any effect on it. "Works for me!"

This is what I need, but I'd liike to display the poll in the right newsblock header.

I made a custom block named poll.block, but it doesn't quite do what I want..

Instead of adding the middle part (// show last poll in site header), I added it to the main_block_middle template instead, but when I view my main page, the poll doesn't 'run', it just prints "$pollbox [button] Details" (and is also part of a bulleted list; I probably shouldn't be using the HTML in a custom block code I guess.. it seems to be only for linked items..?)

If I add the last HTML part to the main_block_middle template, the poll does 'run', but also displays in the news headlines block as well. (but curiously, not the 'latest forum topics" section.)

I'm close, but it's not quite the way I want it set up (ie. 'running' the poll in the right newsblock section). Is there a way that anyone can think of? The closest way that I can think of is if I can conditionally test which block I'm in in the main_block_middle template.)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Open site_header in an editor and add after:

<?php

global $insert;

the following code:

// Show last poll in site_header



dbconnect();

$query = DBQuery("SELECT * FROM esselbach_st_polls ORDER BY poll_id DESC");

$polldata = mysql_fetch_array($query);                          

$pollbox = "<b>$polldata[poll_title]</b><br /><br />";

            

for($y = 1; $y < 13; $y++) {

if ($polldata['poll_option'.$y]) {

$percent = 100 * $polldata['poll_vote'.$y] / $polldata[poll_votes];

$option = $polldata['poll_option'.$y];

$votes = $polldata['poll_vote'.$y];

$percent = round($percent);

$pollbox .= "<input type=radio name=vote value=$y>$option<br /><small>($percent% / $votes votes)<br /></small><br />";

}

}

Here an example poll block:

                                <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="160" bgcolor="#000000" border="0">

                                                <table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0">

                                                     <tr>

                                                                <td bgcolor="#75a9d9">

                                                            <font face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" color="#ffffff" size="2"><b>Poll</b></font></td>

                                <input type="hidden" name="poll" value="$polldata[poll_id]">  

          <input type="submit" value="Vote" />

            <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/poll.php?id=$polldata[poll_id]">Details</a>

                </form>                                                                   

                                                          </font></td>

                                                  </tr>

                                               </table>

                                            </td>

                                       </tr>

                               </table>  

You need to add the second code in the HTML part of the template where the poll block should appear.

I hope everything is clear. Let me know if you have any questions.
