OK, so it does work if I stick it in a template. Sorry.

What I'd like to be able to do though is include it in my custom right hand side menu I have. Which would require me to insert it into a global_start plugin. This does not work. I assume because you're plugins aren't active yet?

No worries, I'm now using parse_templates as my hook for the plugin. Works a charm!

What i mean is: to make a poll which can be shown on the index page without making a topic for it in the forums
We should be able to create a poll from ACP where we choose the poll questions, how long will it be displayed and who can vote

Slightly limited. Good mod because its sorta what i was looking for. However there should be an option to select newest poll or all polls in that forumid. Also an option to show more than one forum id.

[Fynnon]

it should say how many voters are and a button to see the results of the voting without voting

after a short fight with it i managed to install it ...here it is: http://bvlist.com

i had to delete this part of the mod because it didn`t integrate well with my skin:

<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" align="left">
			<strong>$vbphrase[sidebar_poll]</strong>
		</td>
	</tr>
</thead>

Thank you, another great mod from Viet Vbb-Team ...could be improved in the future!

Congratulations on the mod.

But I have some problems:
If I put it on display all the pages it does not in any (FACEBOOK Style).
No avatars .Gif

Tip:
Option to show members to guests, or both.

thanks

Hmmm, this mod, when enabled stops my polls from working in the normal threads. Like wise, when I try and vote in the sidebar poll, it doesn't work because the poll functionality isn't working....

[dfc005]

Actually, if I have this mod enabled and I edit a poll, it also causes trouble. Any ideas?

[dfc005]

Any updates ry215? Love the idea behind the mod and would love to be using it but it's just breaking all my polls.

The poll is being displayed in my sidebar ok, but I says I have already voted, but I haven't.
How can I fix this?

Thanks
