Currently i only know "Evan Nemerson"'s Blog (Here) he develops an PollBox Plugin, but hasnt yet been public released it.

U can workaround with an Html Block and use an IFrame, or try with the PhpBox Plugin(Here).

That PollBox Plugin looks to br exactly what i would like :). Your PhpBox Plugin looks pretty damn fine too, i can think of so many uses for it :) including building a poll script :D
Thanks for your help

/me wonders why his name is surrounded by quotation marks...

Here's what I have on my blog right now. The problem is that the configuration is a bit unfriendly... and I think I wrote this before there was an event hook in the CSS file, so everything is hard-coded. If you still want the code, though...

Code: Select all

Don't get mad at me if the planet starts spinning in reverse or anything... :)

LOL nope the planet didnt start spinning in reverse, and thankyou very much for the code :)
Just one question where abouts do i add the the text for the options ?

-----------
Poll

Question EG: What color is the sky

Option 1 EG: Blue
Option 2 EG: Red
Option 3 EG: Green
-------------

And Thanks again for the code

In the configuration screen, change "Number of options" to three and press save. Then press it again (one of the reasons I haven't really published the code). Options number one, two, and three should then be blue, red, and green. This time you only have to press save once (methinks).

Hey Even this really is a great script works perfectly :D

Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2004 6:53 pm

Um ok maybe i was a little hasty lol, the script does work great i just have a small problem with the options text all the options apear about 10 characters to the right of there respective radio button putting things out of alignment. I'm noy a guru php coder, so could you point me in the right direction to fix this small problem?

To install, create a new folder called "serendipity_plugin_pollbox" in your "plugins" directory. Copy the Plugin file in there and name it to "serendipity_plugin_pollbox.php".

polling

I Love the plugin. It setup quick and easy to use 4 stars. But, I have one question. After voting the poll doesn't go back to it's polling state. Is this normal? or can I fix this.


Thank you

Layout problem

Hi,

the plugin is excellent... better than use the phpbox, i think.
My problem is that i get the radio button in a line over the text of its option, and i tried everything, but i dont know how to make it...

Someone can give a little help?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem as above about not going back to the polling state. After you view the results, it just always shows the results!

I hope it's not just me!

Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:06 pm
by garvinhicking
davecjr: I think this is intentional; you already have voted and cannot vote again, so it shows you the results.

Regards,
Garvin

Hi. So does this problem have a solution? It's very annoying and just doesn't look good at all.
