[beta test] Poll Hack v1.0

<a href="http://www.naboonline.com/polltest/" target="_blank">http://www.naboonline.com/polltest/</a>

v1.0 is up there for testing, had to prune some threads cause my conversion script somehow got messed up on ftp upload.

Anyways, it is converted now, and boats these new features:

-Speed improvments (means more hacking though)
-Modulare hack - about 70% of the hack code is in a file that is included() [not sure if this will make it, as it might slow down bigger sites]
-Fix for ';' causing wierd stuff - the delimiter I used was ';', that was changed
-Improved login checking - displays a login field if you vote without being logged in.
-bar graphs for results, fully customisable

Some features were cut due to time constraints. Probably, this hack will be used in the next vB version

Hello Doron,

Looks good!

I can't wait for you to release it.

Thanks for your hard work.

yep as i said great stuff

i don't know anything about php/mysql but would indexes be added to the poll related tables or needed ?

Awesome! Woohoo! Can I easily upgrade from your earlier poll hack without losing my precious polls?

I can't wait any longer....the suspense is killing me j/k

yep, obviously

Gonna release it soon, then?

Suggestion: Make it so that the poll icon is only used when a poll is posted. As of the last version...the poll icon appeared in the icon list for regular posts as well.

Thanks.

There is a bug in there. If you click on "new thread" in main page you get a poll w/ capability to create a message (no icons though).

When u go inside a thread and click "new thread", you get just a regular post.

Three feature requests:

1) let users click to open a new window with the html code for them to copy and paste into their own sites/pages so they can encourage voting from elsewhere as well. This is great for those sites that don't require registration in order to vote.

2) speaking of no registration required to vote. You should make this an option too, so admin can specify if anyone can vote, or only registered users can.

3) let users be able to reply with another poll.

Very cool polling interface and features.

Doron, would you like my help in this hack? I'd like to help out and get some much needed features into the hack.
