Polls Made Simple Not Showing or Logging Results

[Wizard's Apprentice]

I've just installed the polls made simple module and, as documentation is scarce, I have a couple questions:

1) Is there a way to have more than one poll active at a time?
2) If so, how do I target the polls by their poll IDs?

And now for some troubleshooting...

I am able to get a poll installed on a page, however voting and choosing to "peek" at results reroutes me to the home page. I never see a thank you for voting type message, nor am I forwarded to a page revealing the results.

In the admin, I cannot see that any votes have been logged.

Anyone else have this problem and solve it? Any help would be appreciated.

I am using Polls version 0.1.6 and version 0.1.3 of AjaxMadeSimple.

hi

last month i think i worked on this module
and i do some modifications

in this way you can add more than 1 poll to the page
please read this thread

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 231.0.html

and with the peek problem
you must set the template to default or write your own template

by default it is empty

hope it is for help

First, let me say thank you for responding. I was beginning to think no one would.

Okay, now I got the multiple poll thing, I think. I am able to create two polls, and put them both on the same page, so I can see them both. However, in the admin area, when I choose to make a poll active, it will only allow one to be "active." In other words, if I have two polls and one is clicked to active (showing a green check) and I try to make the second poll active it will show a green check, but switch the first poll back to the red X, indicating inactive. So are both polls active in spite of this visual inconsistency, or is only the one poll active.

As for the other part, what "default" is it that I'm to set?

I attempted clicking the "Reset to Default Template" buttons on both the Poll Template and Results Template tabbed sections, but neither has an effect. I can choose an option and click Vote, or I can simply click the Peek Results button, and either action sends me to the home page of the site. There are no results show (and there shouldn't be on the home page because the poll is on a secondary page, which is where the results should be ... arrgh!) and no votes are shown as having been cast in the admin area.

I'm not sure if I'm missing a step here or something. Can you please enlighten me?

I really think this module needs some documentation in a very big way.

hi

about the active thing
yes it is just a visual problem - before i made this changes to the polls it was only active
and the active poll was displayed only
and this is why it is working in this way the admin part
but after the changes it is not displayed just the active one
it is displayed depending the id

so that i must make some changes in visual part also

but if you give the id for the poll the active thing has no influence

about the other one thing - results thing
if you has made the reset to default template and in the form it is the template than it must working
also you need the ajax module for the poll
you installed this one?

i hope it is for help

Ah, okay, that's what i was thinking, that it was a visual thing.

As for the other, yes, I used the "reset to default template" on both tabs and got nothing. Yes, I have the Ajax Made Simple Plugin.
Is there a step that maybe I've missed?

hi
if it is not filled the form with default data
than you can copy manual

the default templates are located in polls/templates

copy the corresponding file to the textarea and save it

i hope it is for help

[Wizard's Apprentice]

I checked those default templates and they contain the template code. I'm not sure why this still isn't working. Any other ideas?

hi

yes this files contains the default templates
but you must copy this files in admin area /polls to the poll teplate textarea and result template textarea and save it

when you done it than normally it must be working

you must call teh poll module in this way
{cms_module module='polls' poll_id=$pollname}

this must be working normally
