[Release] Poll Hack v0.9

Yep, here it is, the poll hack for vBulletin, tested on 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 Beta3.

The hack incorparates a poll as a thread starter, where users can vote and reply normally. You can view the test forum at http://www.naboonline.com/polltest/index.php

I hope the instructions are clear, any questions should go here.

Download the zip here!

Enjoy!

hm... if you use addslashes() in the right way, there shouldn't be a problem.

Unless magic_quotes is activated in your php.ini file.

Magic_quotes is on (1?), but that doesn't cause any slashes to appear in the posts. I've only got this problem in the poll options.

Doron, in the vote options (the options you vote for) it adds a slash ahead of an apostrophe, like "It\'s"

Wierd I don't get that on the test board. Could you show me the poll that is doing that? http://www.naboonline.com/polltest/s...hp?threadid=34

I tested it, seems to work. It adds the slashes to them, but should not show em when viewing.

As for the Poll: code, add after the line (in showthread.php)

if ($pollquery[pollid] <> 0) { //post has a poll

add this:

$threadtitle='Poll: ' . $threadtitle;

that will add a Poll: only if it is a poll

Ok, i uploaded the new zip with the fix for the forumshow (what a stupid mistake). The reason is that I had poll.php and pollshow.php at one time.

As for the user "pollvote", I think what I will do is a "pollban" field where you enter there userid's. that's for 1.0, in say about a month's time?

Doron, here - I made a sample for you: http://www.atlasf1.com/bb/showthread.php?threadid=7213

Please note that this is the only place where we have this slashes problem

Thanks for the "Poll" prefix - however it's not much help if it only shows on the actual thread itself. If you're there, you can see that it's a poll, heh. I wanted a prefix to the title on the forumdisplay page.

And also thanks for adding the userban

very wierd, I can't dupe it. Are you using php 4 perhaps?

could you check if the slashes are existent in the db? They should not be. That is the only way to explain this.

doron, I'm using php3 and the slashes exist in the database.

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO poll (pollid,options,question) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes($polloptionsstring)."','".addslashes($question)."')");

It addes the slashes to $polloptinsstring, but when it gets added into the db, they should be stripped by the db itself. Sounds like a php error not removing the /'s.

ok, new zip is on the server with a postpoll graphic from menno.

doron, so what are you saying? That's it's not fixable?

what I am saying is that I really have no idea how that can be. I'm looking into this, but my guess is that

a) This is some wierd php bug with your system
b) you copied the hack somehow wrongly (even though i do not see how).

Do you get this when a poll is not closed as well? What about if you edit that poll - do you get the '/' also in those textfields?
