how do I do that ?? :(

sorry, im totally confused here

You need look for phpportal file which has string

looked in P_polloptions, nothing of that nature in there !

Forget P_polloption.
Just create new template with name P_polloption_mult:
Then take on your local comp dir with your files.php for portal and look for one that has line .
It's not in templates.

ah ok, so templates is out of the story, although I have added the one u said !

But as for the php file, I have searched ALL of the files in vbportal dir and NONE of them have that command in it anywhere. Am I mistaken ?? if so, where would it be ? I see Gen you have done multiple polls on your vbportal, which file did YOU change ?

thanks guys

vbpstuff.php

lol

back to square one :-

I dont HAVE any file caleld vbpstuff.php anywhere on my server let alone on the vbportal directory :)

thats the problem

what version of vbportal are you using ? coul THAT be it ?

Let say It based on v2.01
In any case you have file which includes the same line as above
Just search

First of all look for the file included in phpinclude template

ok, I think the file I need to edit is

vbp_includes.php as it refers to that in the phpinclude template

Although I STILL dont see the eval.... command in there !

Look inside this file
any other include(vbp... .php)
or it can be just in index.php or vbphome.php

there many other includes, but nothing with vbp starting the the brackets

shall I send u all the root of vbportal files ?? lol

Ok. Do it

By the end you can change the P_polloptions template and have the permanent multi poll form on the main page. It works in all cases.

ok, im lost again

this is hopeless :(

Ok, Cyrus. Just install FireFly hack, then open P_polloption and replace with thatTry it.

this is what i gt in P_polloption

<form action="$bburl/poll.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[dbsessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="pollvote">
<input type="hidden" name="pollid" value="$P_pollinfo[pollid]">
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" align="center" colspan="4"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>$P_pollinfo[question]</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
$P_pollbits
</table>
</td></tr></table>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" {tableinvisibleextra} align="center">
<tr>
<td style="font-size: 8pt"><smallfont><input type="submit" class="bginput" value="Vote!" style="font-size: 8pt">
<a href="$bburl/poll.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showresults&pollid=$P_pollinfo[pollid]">View Results</a>
</smallfont></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

not anything you mentioned to change

thanks

You should have in php files the line

It gives you name of template to change.

This will be part of the next version due out in a few days so I suggest waiting until then.

Does having this hack installed cause problems when upgrading to 2.2.0 ?

Should I uninstall this hack, and then upgrade?
Or will I be fine?

Just wondering before I upgrade tonight...

Thanks

freddie (I think it was him?) added a check to the last upgrade script that checks if you have a field named multiple, and if you do, it skips that part of the upgrade.
I upgraded a test board using this hack to v2.2.0 with no problems. :)

The frontpage multi-choice poll is installed in the latest vbPortal beta pr7.1 for vBulletin 2.2 please inquire on phpPortals.

The installer link up top need to be changed to this url to work.

I haven't installed this hack yet, but I definitely will!

But I have a question: Can I limit the number of selections a user can make? Such as, there are 10 choices, but I only want the user to choose three: can I set a limit?

And thanks for your hard work :)

Well I found out the hard way (via a MySQL error) that 2.2.0 has Multiple Choice Built in!!! I did not see a way to limit the amount of times they could vote. I voted for 3 outta 4 on my test.
