Poll Voting Percentage Problem

[hasidoo]

Hi all,

In my forum,when someone voted in a multiple choice poll, it displays as follows;
138135

The percentages are allocated as 100% for each option.

But I need it to be like this:
138136

(i.e. as an overall percentage for the whole poll)

I guess my problem is clear to all of you. Anyone knows how to get the result I wanted? Please help me with this..

I think all you need to do is find this block of code:

else if ($pollinfo['multiple'])
{
$option['percentraw'] = ($value < $pollinfo['voters']) ? $value / $pollinfo['voters'] * 100 : 100;
}



and remove it or comment it out (by putting // at the beginning of each line). Unfortunately for some reaosn it appears in three different files: poll.php, showthread.php, and forumrunner/get_thread.php (assuming you have vb4.1.12 or later), so it needs to be done in each place.

Great. Fix Works to fix the issue with VB 3.8 percentage calculation in multiple votes. When the Mod Multiple Votes is installed.
