Module: Topic Poll

In topic_poll.php, an empty poll is initialized like this:

Language: PHP
        // Initialize a new poll.
        $message["meta"]["mod_topic_poll"] = array (
            "question"    => "",
            "answers"     => array( 0 => "", 1 => "" ),
            "votes"       => array(),
            "total_votes" => 0,
            "votingtime"  => 0, // in days, 0 for unlimited
            "permission"  => "user",
            "active"      => 1,
            "cache_id"    => 0,
        );

By extending the "answers" array, you can add as many standard answers as you wish.

in the poll editor, can i have more than 2 fields by default? Where can i modify the code?

Modify topic_poll.php to:

Language: PHP
// Initialize a new poll.
        $message["meta"]["mod_topic_poll"] = array (
            "question"    => "",
            "answers"     => array( 0 => "", 1 => "", 2 => "" ),
            "votes"       => array(),
            "total_votes" => 0,
            "votingtime"  => 0, // in days, 0 for unlimited
            "permission"  => "user",
            "active"      => 1,
            "cache_id"    => 0,
        );

Thanks for very neat module, Maurice. I have one question/request tho: Is it possible to have multiple polls in same thread/post? Basically, I would like to have multiple questions with their own answers in the same thread. This would help our forum members a lot since currently some "voting" that we do is bit taxing.

Thanks!

No, that has not been implemented. It really is "topic poll", so a poll that is linked to a single topic / thread.

Hi Maurice,

I get some PHP Notice from the Topic Poll Module when using also Post Preview Module:

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: READ in /var/www/.../phorum-5.2.19/mods/topic_poll/topic_poll.php
on line 711, referer: [forum.langzeittest.de]

Regards

Using Phorum since 7/2000: forum.langzeittest.de (actual version 5.2.23)
Modules "Made in Germany" for version 5.2: Author_as_Sender, CarCost, Close_Topic, Conceal_Message_Timestamp,
Format_Email, Index_Structure, Mailing_List, Pervasive_Forum, Spritmonitor, Terms_of_Service and German_Language_Files_Package.

Module language is not changing to Dutch on my site, i have tried several things but nothing seems to be working, what can i do to set it to show in Dutch instead of English?

I am using Nederlands informeel on my site...

Are you using the Emerald template when you encounter this issue?

edit>> The Classic template would need a matching template in the poll module.

and a matching language as it seems to be about the language.

I am using emerald-alt as my standard template, next to the normal emerald, classic and redbirds templates. The module stays in English in all of them..... And yes Dutch is included in the language files of the module. There are currently two Dutch language files for phorum, both of them do not work with the Topic Poll module on my site.

What i have done so far:

Cleaned out cache/cookies of browser
Purge cache
Ran sanity checks
Ran Database integrity
Shut the module off/on

Did all of the above multiple times...

And asked this question...

Would it make any difference if would uninstall and reinstall the module?
