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.

You need look for phpportal file which has string

eval("\$P_pollbits .= \"".gettemplate("P_polloption")."\";");

[cyrus]

looked in P_polloptions, nothing of that nature in there !

[GenSec]

Forget P_polloption.
Just create new template with name P_polloption_mult:

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

Then take on your local comp dir with your files.php for portal and look for one that has line

eval("\$P_pollbits .= \"".gettemplate("P_polloption")."\";");

.
It's not in templates.

ah ok, so templates is out of the story, although I have added the one u said !

But as for the php file, I have searched ALL of the files in vbportal dir and NONE of them have that command in it anywhere. Am I mistaken ?? if so, where would it be ? I see Gen you have done multiple polls on your vbportal, which file did YOU change ?

thanks guys

vbpstuff.php

[cyrus]

lol

back to square one :-

I dont HAVE any file caleld vbpstuff.php anywhere on my server let alone on the vbportal directory

thats the problem

what version of vbportal are you using ? coul THAT be it ?

[GenSec]

Let say It based on v2.01
In any case you have file which includes the same line as above
Just search

[GenSec]

First of all look for the file included in phpinclude template

[cyrus]

ok, I think the file I need to edit is

vbp_includes.php as it refers to that in the phpinclude template

Although I STILL dont see the eval.... command in there !
