Major bug on my forum

[GamerzWorld]

Not sure if this is the right place. Been told by vbulletin.com that it must be hack related so this must be the only place i can ask :( So what is the problem im experiencing? Well basically my poll system is not working. I can make polls fine but once made if you try to vote on the poll you get the erorr

The poll you selected is closed. Please press back to return to the poll.

Im basically trying to find where the problem may lie. If someone can help me by telling me files most likly then i can replace and try to pin point. Could it also be a sql error or will it only be a file edit problem :ermm:

Well, what hacks do you have installed?

[GamerzWorld]

Well, what hacks do you have installed?

Quite a few. The major hack which links with polls is the form hack

http://www.mirzone.net/forum/form.php?styleid=3

However ive installed arcade system, mini hacks and other add ons

Form hack doesnt do any file edits..though :(

[Deaths]

It can't be the form hack, since it doesnt modify any files :/.

Also a link to a searchid will not work, so i have no idea what hacks you are talking about.

PS I hope they have the branding free license because they don't show the Copyright notice on that style.

Seems like they "forgot" to place the copyright notice on that style, as the other styles do show it :ermm:

So you are using the form application to submit Polls? Into which forum are they submitted?

Are your polls also closed if you manually create a normal poll?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Hmm looking around your board, i see a lot of Polls with no poll options and all are closed.

Where did all the options gone?

When did you install Erwin's Forms hack, and did you have any problems before that?

Did the problems start immediate after the install? Did you install anything else after this?

It is used for a guild application form. You fill in the form using link above and it posts it

Few weeks ago i noticed peopel couldnt vote. So i tryed it myself. Made a manual thread and i couldnt vote as it automatically told me the thread was closed. Then Geek installed a hack for me as it wasnt workintg and it was working again but linking now to old forum topics with the poll youve voted on (soi youd get a random topic below your poll once youd voted).

So i decided id ask for some help. By time i did the error had come back. And now once again all polls appeared closed. Recently i have merged two forums together into one. However the poll system was working fine. I have used the form ever since it came out

Since install iv einstalled the geeks article and gallery adodn hacks. As well as help desk and arcade. However the help desk has been uninstalled and for a test i have uploaded all original files (to no success ) As i said its odd as without anything being touched (bar TheGeek editing files for his hack) it began working and came back

As for the options im not sure. They just seem to have disapeared.

http://www.mirzone.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9586 <-- this one seems to be working normal

Edit: Spoke to soon, Poll options are there, but message Poll closed on vote :(

Let me think about this.

Let me think about this.

I can give you accesss to ftp/Sql tables and admincp if it helps :(

Try going into phpMyAdmin, and look in the poll table.

What is the default value for "Active"?

If thats 0, set it to 1, and it should work :)

How do i find default value

[Deaths]

Ok, you go into phpMyAdmin, and open the table "Poll" (do NOT browse it, we do not want to see what is stored in the table, we want to see the structure!).

Now, there should be a row which says:

active smallint(6) No X
Where X is either 0 or 1.
What is that number?

[GamerzWorld]

It says 1

[Deaths]

Hmm, strange...

Could you maybe post a screeny of that table?

[GamerzWorld]

Yes :)

[Deaths]

Very strange...

I guess we'll have to wait for Marco, he might give me an idea if his doesn't work :)

[GamerzWorld]

Well i dont know how big this is but when you vote on a poll you will notice it changes style to the Spiritual-Style. This is not the default style and is the style used for the form/application

Even if youve got default skin enabled it will say Poll is closed in the SC style

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Did some checks couldn't find the problem so soon.

Please double check your templates.

(If needed backup and remove all custom styles for testing, reinstall after test)

[GamerzWorld]

Uploaded all files again..nothing
Deleted all styles...nothing

Simply got redirected to the new style with same error

The poll you selected is closed. Please press back to return to the poll.

Could it be an admincp setting

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Did you upload hacked files again, or fresh ones?
And how can you be redirected to a style that you deleted?

After id tested and it didnt work i reuploaded old files. As for styles it simply redirected you to style you were using unlike before where it redirected you to the SC syle

I have determined the problem. With the merge the poll ids have become mixed up. It means when creating a thread/voting oin a poll it redirects to another poll. After each application has been accepted for the form system i used to lock the case. This means that when trryin gto vote on the new current poll it was thinking it was the old locked one and giving that error. It linked back to the SC style as it was linking to an old poll in the SC forum which forces users to use that style. So now ive worked out that i need to find a way to reset and recount i suppose the forum poll ids so its in sync (if you get what i mean) :/
