Strat, I had the same error. It had to do with getting the permissions on the files right. It's a real PITA, especially if you use FTP Voyager. Hard to really chmod things.

Make sure that your folders are 755, and that ALL of your templates (.tpl files), in ALL of the various folders, are chmod 744.

It does work, and it's one hell of a tool. Impressive.

I've tried installing a couple times and have done everything in the install instructions, but I keep getting the error:

WARNING: Cannot find default template path. Expecting: /home/wildabou/public_html/forums/includes/survey/templates/Default

I've duplicated the survey folder to the above address and chmod 777, but still no luck...any ideas?

Cheers

Stuart, did you upload the all the files in the Survey folder? The hack calls to those .tpl template files quite a bit, and those files have to be chmodded 744 so that they can be used.

Your folders can be 755, but all those template files in the default, etc folders have to be 744.

And why did you put the survey folder in forums/ includes/? As I remember, is should go in the forum folder (http://www.xxxxx.com/forum/survey/). Not in the includes folder.

Hope this helps. I got mine to work, after a while.

What is meant by "Copy the survey directory below your forum directory (cannot change the directory name)"

Hi

I have installed this

Installation went very well....
When i click on any links such as create, or view a example survey it just refreshes the page... The only thing i can see is the documentations when i click that link...
I have set all the permissions in the admincp
Any advice please?
I am running VB 3.5.3

Anyone have luck on 3.5.3?

okay, I did a quick search, and found nothing, then an even quicker scan over the posts, and did not see my problem, so here goes...
When a member quits out of a survey and then goes back to retake/ finish the survey they can't. it says " You have quit answering this survey. Your answers were not saved." is there any way to change this so members who quit can re-take the survey?

Hi docvader,

I uploaded all of the survey folder into the forums folder, but for some reason it seems to be looking for the templates etc in forums/includes/ ???

I just tried a fresh install, chmod -R 744 for the survey folder via the CLI, but it came up with the error:

Warning: main(survey/classes/main.class.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /survey.php on line 8

Warning: main(survey/classes/main.class.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /survey.php on line 8

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'survey/classes/main.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/wildabou/public_html/forums/survey.php on line 8

I then -R chmod the survey folder to 777 and haven't changed the content of any of the files, the error disappears, but it's still looking for the templates /includes.

Any ideas?

I got the same error regarding template needing to be in the includes folder. I copied the survey folder in its entirity there, chmodded to 777 and it works.

yes and 3.5.4
