I've updated the Poll module ( [www.phorum.org] ) created by arlo in 2004 to be able to work with Phorum 5.1.x.

I've also integrated some fixes and extensions to it.
The install instructions are also updated.

Regards,

Hey, thanks for the roll-up!

Can't quite seem to get it to work, though. Running on windows, phorum 5.1.10, mysql v. 4.1.18 , apache 2.0.55, testing with both ie 6 and opera 8.5.


Here's what I've done so far... expanded the archive into (phorum)/mod/poll .

I added {POLLFORM} (etc) to posting_messageform.tpl . Here's a copy of where I put it (just to make sure I didn't put it somewhere blatently stupid...):



{! Body ===================================================================== }
{IF POLLFORM}{POLLFORM}{/IF}
{HOOK tpl_editor_before_textarea}



I also added the custom profile field mod_poll, making sure not to check disable html. (Left field length at 255.)




In any case, I turned on the mod, and whenever I go to write a new message, I get at the top of the posting page:

Notice: Undefined index: addpoll in (phorum path)\mods\poll\poll.php on line 34

Notice: Undefined index: addpoll in (phorum path)\mods\poll\poll.php on line 72


Any clues on where I've headed down the wrong path? Thanks!

To be 100% sure that it works, I've tested it with my production server:
[www.kdevelop.org]

And it worked fine it there:
-I can create a new poll
-I can vote
-I can't vote twice
-I can cancel my vote
-I can not vote after closing the thread

What PHP version do you have ?

Oh, don't worry, I believe you! I just have a feeling that I'm missing a setting somewhere.

Dang, I was trying to remember to put all the pertinent info in the first post. Oh well.

I'm using PHP 5.0.4 .

Thanks!

amilcarpt, do you show warnings in your production server? I think its just some uninitialized var, not really an error.

No, no warnigs in the pages. I did not check apache logs or something.

When you turn off notices the problem disappears...

// Report all errors except E_NOTICE
// This is the default value set in php.ini
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

[ch.php.net]

If you don't need them you can turn them off in php.ini

A little note:
This is merely a work-around for making PHP shut up about uninitialized stuff. It's best to write software with E_ALL for error_reporting and display_errors enabled, so PHP is very strict about the code. It's a great way of preventing common mistakes (like typo's in variable names). On a production system, display_errors should be disabled and error_reporting can be set to a less strict level.

After a bit of playing, I figured out what my problem was. I didn't intelligently follow step three of the readme. Still doesn't eliminate PHP complaining about undefined indexes, but I'm able to get polls to run correctly.

Hi,

I found it a bit annoying how clicking the Vote button or See results on the preview page just zaps your post into nothingness. I made a little fix for this so that those buttons do nothing in a preview. I also added some classes so you have better control over the appearance. (This also requires adding a class to css.tpl.)

In case anyone else finds these changes useful, I'm posting my modified poll.php. Just check the code for a comment:

// RFBP:

To see where I made the changes.

Cheers,
Kevin
