Web Poll Content Type

Thought I'd share my latest enhancement, a web poll for phpwcms.

See demo and download from: http://www.ikfrej.se/index.php?downloads

Cheers!

The results are shown once the user hits send. However, minutes after I released the code I actually added code so that the results can be seen in the backend. Now I'm too lazy to wrap up another package, it'll come in the next version along with code that allows the poll and results to be rendered using templates. Replace inc_tmpl\cnt89.list.inc.php with this to get it to appear in the backend:

Code: Select all

Hi,

made a test here:
http://www.piezoworks.be/mulieris/index.php?fr_mulieris

Works like a charm!!!

Some questions though... You might think "they're never happy, I break my b* to do a nice CP and they complain!" No, no, I was just wondering about these things:

Q: what is the time limit to re-enter the vote? (cookie based/session?) I suppose I can change the value?
Q: every time I edit the poll, it resets the results to 0... no tbig deal but can be annoying for future aplpications.
Q: I don't get th eimage thing, it only shows under the first choice...

Anyway, very nice job!
Thanks again!

Cheers

Nope, it is based on IP. One visitor, one vote. However, it can be reset by updating the content part in the backend, but that will reset all the votes. Maybe I'll put some reset logic in the next version...

hey,

what about placing the total numbers of votes....?

OFftopic - how did you made this:

Läst 411 gånger (idag: 7)

Updated 2 sec after I posted..

Display number of users currently online, number of visitors, number of times a page/article has been viewed, and more. Requires VTS

JensZ · Post by **JensZ** » Mon 31. Oct 2005, 09:28

Frold,

To show the total number of votes replace

Code: Select all

		$html .= "</table></td>\n</tr>";
		$html .= "</table>";

with

Code: Select all

		$html .= "</table></td>\n</tr>";
		$html .= "<tr><td><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">total votes:</span> ".$total_votes."</td></tr>";
		$html .= "</table>";

To get the number of times an article has been read, install the vts_users_online.zip package and put something like this in your article template:

Code: Select all

<div>
[TITLE]<h1 style="margin:0 0 5px 0;">{TITLE}</h1>[/TITLE]
[SUB]<h3 style="margin:0 0 5px 0;">{SUB}</h3>[/SUB]
<p style="margin:5px 0 5px 0;">
<span>{DATE:Y-m-d:EN}</span> 
<span>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Read {VTS_DOCUMENT:total} times (today: {VTS_DOCUMENT:today}).</span><br /> 
{SUMMARY}
</p>
<br/>
</div>

cheers

/Jens

Another awesome content part..!!.I use both of your {SHOW_CONTENT} and {NEWS_FLASH} hacks....I haven't installed this one yet as it looks that this one involves modifying the same core files...Is this the case..??

JensZ · Post by **JensZ** » Mon 31. Oct 2005, 13:42

Yes, changes are made to the same files, but the changes are minor. A function in front.func.inc.php and a line or two in the other files. Just look for "jens" to find the lines that changed and merge them in.

Fine this MOD, but I have one question. How to hide the poll results to end off poll period (secret poll)?

eg.: after user vote, say "thx, the vote. Results later..."

Thx, Paul
