Font Does Not Display For Poll

1 Attachment(s)

When I post poll, the text is not showing up even though it is there when I edit it. See image below. I must have changed something, somewhere. I cannot find what I did wrong. See image attached.

Is the text there only it is the same color as the background? Can we get a link to see this?

Thanks for the response.

That was my first thought also. I used mouse to select font, which will usually make same color font appear. That did not make the text show.

What is the variable name for font poll and I will check that.

I will gladly allow you access to the Forum, however I don't want to publish information in the open here on this forum.

Send me a personal email and I will get you setup. Or just join up and I will approve you for membership.

Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse that thread using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

How about disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:


		
			
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Disabling hooks did not make the poll test show up. I changed site back to original config.php

Anything else to try?

Thanks for your assistance.

I also tried disabling the hooks, then setting up a new poll. Still did not work.

Thanks for your help.

Check your "poll" table - are the options showing up in the options field - what are the contents of that field? Is the field pollid set to auto_increment? How about a screen cap of the poll table (just a couple rows) and a screen cap of the poll table structure.

I do not know where to find the poll table.

I am very new at this!

Thanks for your help

How do you access your database? Many users use phpMyAdmin and you can view the database there.

RogerBerke

06-25-2011 02:42 PM

?? I have never accessed my data base.

I use Administrator control panel in vBulletin. I can also use FTP to access the server.

Sorry... I am just dumb hydronic heater repair person and certainly not a programer.

I can, however follow directions.

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm, firstly I would strongly suggest asking your host about database access. I'm not really sure what else I can do at this point. You could try to go to maintenance > repair/optimize database and do a repair/optimize on the poll tables and see if that fixes the issue.

RogerBerke

06-25-2011 03:41 PM

Lynne

Thanks

I am sure there is a way, I have just not figured it out yet. I will post follow up, after I get access.

Is this what your are looking for?

I did a repair/optimize on the poll tables. No change

Thanks for your help.

This is definately the most interesting bug I've seen posted so far lol

Try going to AdminCP > Maintenance > Diagnostics > Suspect File Versions > Submit

What does that tell you?

Everything appears normal except two entries shown below.

Thanks for your help.

Everything looks OK in your database. :/

As Brooks said, run Suspect File Versions and make sure all your files come out as default.

edit: whoops, posted after you. What version are you running and how long have you had this issue?

What is in the source code? It will be something like this:

HTML Code:

<div id="polloptions" class="blockrow">

                 <ul class="checkradio group">

                      <li><label for="rb_optionnumber_1"><input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="1" id="rb_optionnumber_1" tabindex="1" /> Yes</label></li>

   <li><label for="rb_optionnumber_2"><input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="2" id="rb_optionnumber_2" tabindex="1" /> NO</label></li>

                  </ul>

             </div>

Brand new forum setup June 17th, 2011. Version 4.1.4.

This is the first poll that I have setup.

I don't know where to look for the source code requested. A little help in locating it please.

I did a FTP search on my server. Several of the Poll.* PHP files are in two places. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.

Check to see if any of those have been edited and/or need to be reverted

Source code is the html source for the page. In firefox, I can go to View > Page Source and get the code. Do that and then you can search on your question and find the area of the html we are interested in.

Your page source clearly shows that the text is there.

Code:

<li><label for="rb_optionnumber_1"><input type="radio"  name="optionnumber" value="1" id="rb_optionnumber_1" tabindex="1" />  Yes</label></li>

 <li><label for="rb_optionnumber_2"><input type="radio"  name="optionnumber" value="2" id="rb_optionnumber_2" tabindex="1" />  No</label></li>

You either have some css that is setting the display to none or your text is the same color as the background.

I fooled around until I got the background on the poll changed to a different color (variable is poll_background). I don't think that the font is the same color as the background.

Thanks for your help.

Then I would guess your CSS is setting the display to none or the font color is transparent. You can check that with firebug if you are familiar with it.

I used Firebug to get a listing of CSS content from poll page that will not display correctly.

I could use a little help in interpreting the results. The text file is very big (runs 58 pages in Word), so I am not sure if I should post results here. Can I post it as a 'text' attachment?

Thanks for your help.

- Roger Berke -

Lynne

06-26-2011 02:02 PM

A text file? I'm not sure what you are ending up with. firebug is something I only use in the browser - I get no text file to go with it.

Why don't you PM me a link/username so I can take a look.

RogerBerke

06-26-2011 03:08 PM

Lynne

PM Sent!

I did a 'copy' and 'paste' for the results from the firebug window.

Thanks for your help.

I PMed you with what the problem was. You had set a font-size to 0, so the options were not showing.

You are the BEST! FIXED!
