Non VB Page Poll and Log in mods.
 

If anyone can show me how to do this I will love them forever and ever and ever.

1. Ability for users to log in on a regular .html page with their Forum Usernames.

2. This is the tricky part I wanted to do with the poll code.
I do photo competitions, and when it comes voting time, I have to do it by them emailing me their vote, and that kind of is an easy way to cheat since you can have multiple emails and I can't see the IP that it comes with. So I wanted it when they selected a picture they wanted to vote for, it acts as the poll that vbulletin has. But of course, not the same set up, for ex. lets say "| = 1 pic|"

I would like it to be set up like so:
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | | and so forth instead of:
|
|
| like vb has it done. I've looked for a script to do this, but it still wont allow the users to vote using their forum names.

So anyhelp will be very appreciative.

Thanks

Change the URL in your profile to match your forum's URL. Definitely don't keep it at it's current URL or you risk being banned.

Yikes, it says homepage.. that website is my homepage, never knew I'd get in so much trouble for being honest.

Thanks for the lookout though :D

Any help on the above request?

You may want to wait for loo-portal to be released and rip the code out of it. The 1st one can be done quiet easyly, the second is gann require some php in the page and a few querys on mySQL.

Anyway, to answer your frist question, just stick this html (edit it to your needs this is only a guide) in anypage, make sure to change the url's in the code to match yours. This has no layout really, this will allow you to log in however, i asume you know the basics of html and how to do tables etc.

------ code snip ------
<form action="http://www.yoursiteurl.com/forum/member.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login">
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="7">
<input type="password" class="bginput" name="password" size="7">
<input type="submit" class="bginput" value="Login!">

you are the owner of astalavita?

thats a huge warezx site isnt it? lol

Yea, I am pretty good with html and mysql, just not php.

Thanks for the code.

As for the poll mod, I was thinking it wouldn't be so hard if I made a thread with the poll information, and just made a php page, with a different layout just linking the votes to the poll thread? Like how vbhome and all those other portals have polls on the frontpage. Only question I would really have is how would I go about linking it from say http://mysitename.com/contest1.php to http://mysitename.com/forums/threadwithpoll.php

No, Home Page, when you open Internet Explorer, it takes you to your homepage. That is my homepage. I am not the owner of it.

I changed it already.

We really sould edit the reg templates so that it says "your forum url" and not "homepage". I know you have cp access filburt. Mabey you sould go fix that to avoid confusstion ;)

I only have mod CP access, not admin CP access...

O, i thought SD gave you guys admin cp access when he promoted you to, my misteak.

hey filburt1, did\can you post your forumhomedisplay mod that you have on your website? It's the best looking one I've seen in a long time.

I've posted small parts of it.

Also this is the last request: enter in your actual forum's URL. I find it doubtful that you don't have it uploaded anywhere.

I have it uploaded on localhost. Would you like a screen shot? I had to reinstall it due to some login errors I was getting, just browse to the template support forum if you want to see for yourself. But I will post a screen shot if you request.

Please do post one of the admin CP.

here.. quality sucks, but then again its paint so blah

heres one with better resolution and I replaced that halo cp logo.

nice to know someone likes my work :P

That's actually the VBT Admin CSS, I had the Halo one installed first, then replaced it but forgot to take out the image.

oh **** :P the only difference is the blue header font :P

yea its the one used here ;), i know cause it hurts my eyes every time i go into the cp.

lol, i used to be obsessed with dark colours, i like lighter better now.

Me to, but that still doesnt help me with my request :(
