oh, yeah, lib. sorry, working offhand. and less, you can just use the sample tags that I have on my website, put one in your content body, and add a question and answers as extra fields

Well, I must be too stupid for this plugin :-(
Still don’t know HOW to get those extra fields to show…

tmacwrig · 2004-09-01 16:57:22

click “Advanced Options” to the left of the content field.

Guess I found it: custom fields are added in v 1.19, so I just don’t have them…

Thanks anyway.

I must really be missing something obvious here :-(

The only sample tag I can find on your site is < txp:tcm_pollinput break=”<br />” wrap_q=“strong” / >, which I have put in the body of a page. Now how do I add the questions and answers as extra fields?

I’m not giving up :-)

lee- you are using 1.19, right? so you’ve changed them in admin_config.php, so just click advanced_options when posting, and add them. (and add the tcm_pollinput tag to the article form or the body of an article. I don’t think it will work in a page template)

I got it working, thanks for the help. A couple of questions if I may: 1. How did you get the percentage bar to appear behind the percentage figure? 2. If submit is pressed without selecting an answer the poll results are calculated wrong, it seems to be dividing by total submits, not votes. Can this be fixed? Maybe it should only go to the results if an answer has been selected. And what did you think about my idea of being able to view the results without voting? i.e. have a View Results link below the submit button.

1: That’s because of two divs and a little css

<pre>
#left #poll {

padding: 10px;

}

#left #poll .bar {

margin: 4px 0;

border: 1px solid #5A6D8D;

background-color: #fff;

}

#left #poll .bar div {

padding: 3px;

background-color: #5A6D8D;

}

#left #poll .bar div span {

background-color: #CFD6E0;

color: #000;

}
</pre>

but if you’re putting it in a different column, you’ll have to change #left.

2: I’ll see if I can fix that either by checking in the php file, or by some simple js.

3: You can view results without voting by adding a < tcm:polloutput /> tag to the page

Thanks for the css. The poll question is not displayed along with the results, be much better if it was.

Edit:
The wrap_q seems to make no difference. If I leave it out the question is still bold.

What are the options for Delay. How would I set 1 second or 1 minute?

delay is in minutes, the default is 5.

Lee, can you explain what you did to get it working? I seem to be running in the same circles you were.
Thanks

1. Install + activate tcm_polloutput and tcm_pollinput

2. Set your extra fields (any of them, it doesn’t matter) to “Poll Question

thanks for the little guide. the problem here, is that I really just made the plugin for a client and felt that it would also be useful to the community, so documentation and the like was not my top concern. I suppose I’ll work on the bugs and such, and include your manual with it’s description.

tmacwrig · 2004-09-02 16:29:04

alright, the plugins are updated, they should work with about 5 new options. some help included.

lee · 2004-09-02 17:09:27

That was quick. Many thanks and have a good weekend.
