Poll Block Modification

As requested by Error, this modification of the news poll block allows your visitors to vote directly from the poll block rather then going to the news story page.

To redirect back to the main page after the vote, you need to do the following modifications in template news_story_poll_voting_done:

<!-- Template: news_story_poll_voting_done -->

<h1>Done</h1>

<div class="content">

Thanks for voting in this poll.<br /><br />

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

setTimeout('location.href="https://www.contentteller.com/contentteller{$insert['param_ext']}{$insert['param_ct']}news"',2000);

-->

</script>

Please wait while we transfer you back to the main page or <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/contentteller{$insert['param_ext']}{$insert['param_ct']}news">click here</a> if your browser does not forward automatically.

</div>

<br />

You could replace:

                                             if( $input_poll_choice )

                                          {

                                                 $news_poll .= "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"input_votes[]\" value=\"".$insert['poll_option_id']."\" />".$insert['poll_option']."<br />";

                                               }

                                         else

                                              {

                                                 $news_poll .= "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"input_vote\" value=\"".$insert['poll_option_id']."\" />".$insert['poll_option']."<br />";

                                             }


with:

                                               $y = $i - 1;

                                              if( $input_poll_choice )

                                          {

                                                 $news_poll .= "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"input_votes[]\" value=\"".$insert['poll_option_id']."\" />".$insert['poll_option']." (" . $input_results_array[ $y ] . " votes)<br />";

                                          }

                                         else

                                              {

                                                 $news_poll .= "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"input_vote\" value=\"".$insert['poll_option_id']."\" />".$insert['poll_option']." (" . $input_results_array[ $y ] . " votes)<br />";

                                                }


to show the number of votes.

Just wondering, but how can you see the poll results without voting? I didn't see them on the news story's article.

I found the problem. The script is using $query in the follow part:

                    if( $preferences[ 'news_allow_unregpolls' ] or $user[ 'user_status' ] )

                   {

                         if( $user[ 'user_status' ] )

                              {

                                 $query = $database -> dbquery( "SELECT newspoll_id FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "esselbach_ct_newspolls WHERE newspoll_story = '" . $newsstory_id . "' and newspoll_user = '" . intval( $user[ 'user_id' ] ) . "'" );

                                 $voted = $database -> dbrows( $query );

                               }

                         else

                              {

                                 $uniqueid = md5( $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_USER_AGENT' ] . $system -> getip() );

                                 $query = $database -> dbquery( "SELECT newspoll_id FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "esselbach_ct_newspolls WHERE newspoll_story = '" . $newsstory_id . "' and newspoll_uniqueid = '" . $uniqueid . "'" );

                                        $voted = $database -> dbrows( $query );

                               }

                 }

Just replace $query with $result2 or something else

Error, I got the same error. Philipp is right. Simply select "Clear Cache" and everything will be set back to normal.

Nice blocks modification Philipp. Love it!!

I just tried it on another installation and it works fine there as well. Perhaps it is a caching issue? What happened if you clear the cache by clicking "clear cache" in admin control panel? The old news poll is working fine?
