New poll feature: Multiple choice poll!

I know a lot people wanted and asked for this, so here it is, just for you! (and me )

Pretty simple actually.
This adds an option to the new poll screen (screenshot 1), that lets you choose between a regular poll (like it is now), or a multiple choice poll.
If the latter is selected, instead of radio buttons there will be check boxes (screenshot 2).

I also must say that installation is rather simple.
All you need to do is edit 2 files, and 1 template.
The rest is done automatically.
This is the place to thank Bane that generously let me use his great installer!

Without further ado, here's the installer:
Installer - just upload to your admin folder and run in your browser.
(note: all installation is reversable. uninstallation can be done from the installer)
For a small add-on (not included in the installer), please see this page.

O, sorry. The original looks practically the same

<tr>
  <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" width="5%"><input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="$P_option[number]"></td>
  <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" colspan="3"><smallfont>$P_option[question]</smallfont></td>
</tr>

[QUOTE]<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">

You need create new template as shown above
and modify php file which use this template simular as made by FireFly for vB or in my first post.

You need P_pollbits temlate if you have.
In my case $P_pollbits based on P_polloption temlate. I guess you have P_polloption also.

BUT, I do have P_polltions as stated above

wht should I do ?

[GenSec]

Just what I say in first post.
Create new template and look for php file which create P_pollbits from P_polltions
