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.

Look inside this file
any other include(vbp... .php)
or it can be just in index.php or vbphome.php

[cyrus]

there many other includes, but nothing with vbp starting the the brackets

shall I send u all the root of vbportal files ?? lol

[GenSec]

Ok. Do it

By the end you can change the P_polloptions template and have the permanent multi poll form on the main page. It works in all cases.

Ok, Cyrus. Just install FireFly hack, then open P_polloption and replace

<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>

with that

<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>

Try it.

this is what i gt in P_polloption

<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>
$P_pollbits
</table>
</td></tr></table>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" {tableinvisibleextra} align="center">
<tr>
<td style="font-size: 8pt"><smallfont><input type="submit" class="bginput" value="Vote!" style="font-size: 8pt">
<a href="$bburl/poll.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showresults&pollid=$P_pollinfo[pollid]">View Results</a>
</smallfont></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

not anything you mentioned to change

thanks

[GenSec]

You should have in php files the line

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

It gives you name of template to change.

This will be part of the next version due out in a few days so I suggest waiting until then.

Does having this hack installed cause problems when upgrading to 2.2.0 ?

Should I uninstall this hack, and then upgrade?
Or will I be fine?

Just wondering before I upgrade tonight...

Thanks
