[RELEASE] Poll Hack v1.0.1

[EDIT] Some users found a badley-coded part of the hack, I am rewriting that part and therefore have deleted the url from this post[/EDIT]

The Poll Hack for the vB, now updated for speed and fuctionality. Demo at http://www.naboonline.com/polltest/

new features from 0.9.2 (previous version)

- if a user votes without logging in, is asked to login and the pollvote still counts
(2 new templates,error_pollvotenologin, error_pollvoteinvaliduser)
- Graphical view of poll results available. Template pollyesvote has a new variable $pollbargraph. If you
do not want to have the graphical view, simply remove the variable.
- poll icon ist now not needed to be inserted into the vBulletin icon db.
- new file pollmodule.php - hacks in files only reference to it, much less code to enter into the new files!
- speed enhancements and less mysql calls.

Overall features

- Let registered users post a new thread that has a poll integrated in it
- Let registered users vote on the poll
- Multiple votes impossible as userid is stored on vote
- Define # of poll options in CP
- Limit who can post a poll by usergroups (from the control panel)
- Designed to be easily translated. Only some text is hard coded (see localisation section below)
- Fully templateable - you can customise the look of the poll
- Users who can not post can not vote as well
- Make sure person did not vote, press back, and vote again
- Admin/Moderator edit of Polls at all times
- Edit Poll while no votes (for user who started the poll thread)
- vB code parse for options
- closing a thread == close a poll
- Admin delete
- View results without voting
- Close a poll (admin/mod/author)
- Graphical view of votes (bar graph and/or pie graph) **NEW**

Note to upgraders: Due to a change in the how data is stored, the new poll is not backwards compatible. Therefore, you will need to run updatepoll.php

The poll hack will be intergrated into vBulletin 2.0, so if you are in no hurry, you should better wait

from what version? if you installed the 1.0.1 version went it first went up, you are best off reinstalling it


Virtuetech: that is an old zip of all the fixes for the bugs you guys found.

Hmm,
I've tried to install the poll, but I get an error-message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: checkipban() in /home/theotc/public_html/board/admin/poll.php on line 11

So the problem is with the IP-check.
Can anyone help me?

Thx a l0T

what version of the vB are you using?

The latest one.
It's 1.1.4

what system are you on? this is wierd, the function is used by other files in the vB too.

Hmm,

It's Linux I think.

hmm, where is the location of your vB?

All is ok in the poll and my test-board.
So but the poll looks bad.

http://213.61.114.140/~theotc/board/...php?threadid=6

This the link to my board and teh poll.
I mean the question looks bad, cause its not big enough.

*sorry for bad 'n poor english

Thx

i'm not even seeing a poll - check your templates (pollview).

I have added this hack for 1.1.4 on my test board... but it did not add any of the templates when I ran the makepolltables.php file.

Any ideas?
