Hi,

I'm following the instructions found at the following link to add a plugin to my forum.
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173937

I'm trying to add the current poll script found at the following link to the side bar.
http://www.joedolson.com/poll-v2/

I have used the following code in the plugin php code box:

ob_start();
   include('../poll/currentpoll.php');
   $currentpoll = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Then in my sidebar where I want the poll to show up I added:

$currentpoll

When I make the plugin active it kills my board. Kills all styling and tells me I'm not logged in or authorized to view the current thread (which is viewable by anyone).

Here are the contents of currentpoll.php (the file being included in the plugin code)

<?php
require_once("jdp_functions.php");
require_once("mysql_connect.php");
// Define this poll
$pollname = "default_poll"; // Name of referenced poll.
global $formpath;
$formpath = "/poll"; // Absolute path to poll. No final slash.
global $ctype; 
$ctype = "p"; // chart type (regular pie chart = 'p', 3d pie chart = 'p3'
include("poll.php");
?>

The files referenced in the currentpoll.php reside in the same directory as currentpoll.php.

Any ideas? Could there be a conflict with using the the settings within mysql_connect.php which use the same settings as vbulletin? I don't think there is because the variable names are different but figured I'd ask.

TIA,
Scott
