Hi,
It seems in the current Polls module you can have only one poll active.

You can try changing the first line in action.default.php from

Code: Select all

$pollid=$this->PollToShow();

to

Code: Select all

$pollid = isset($params['poll']) ? $params['poll'] : $this->PollToShow();

and pass a pollid as parameter

Code: Select all

{cms_module module=Polls poll=1}

(untested)

Regards,
D

As soon as I have the time I will implement some stuff for selecting Poll randomly or specifically. But I have a couple of other modules I have to get to a useful stage first...

hi
i found a solution

description:

1. i call my poll module in this way
{cms_module module='polls' lang="fr_FR" poll_id="opinion_de"}
where poll_id is a parameter added by me

2. in table cms_module_polls add a new column i named it poll_id
alter table cms_module_polls add column poll_id varchar(30) default ''
this id i will use it to identify the poll which i want to put on the page

3. i change the polllist.php file also
this is the new one

Code: Select all

<?php

?>
<table cellspacing="0" class="pagetable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="pagepos">Poll ID</th>
<th class="pagepos"><?php echo $this->Lang("pollname");?></th>
<th class="pagepos"><?php echo $this->Lang("pollstatus");?></th>
<th class='pageicon'><?php echo $this->Lang("activepoll");?></th>
<th class='pageicon'><?php echo $this->Lang("edit");?></th>
<th class='pageicon'><?php echo $this->Lang("delete");?></th>
<th class="pagepos"><?php echo $this->Lang("pollstartdate");?></th>
<th class="pagepos"><?php echo $this->Lang("pollclosedate");?></th>
<th class="pagepos"><?php echo $this->Lang("pollinfo");?></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>

<?php
//tr row1/2
$db=$this->GetDb();
$q="SELECT * FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."module_polls";
$result=$db->Execute($q);
if ($result && $result->RecordCount()>0) {
	$rowclass="row1";
	while ($row=$result->FetchRow()) {
		echo "<tr class='$rowclass'>";
		echo "<td class='pagepos'>".$row["poll_id"]."</td>";
		echo "<td class='pagepos'>".$row["name"]."</td>";

		$status="";
		if ($row["closed"]==0) {
			if ($row["id"]==$activepoll) {
				$status=$this->Lang("open");
			} else {
				$text="<img src='themes/default/images/icons/system/false.gif' class='systemicon' alt='Close poll'>";
				$status=$this->Lang("open")." ".$this->CreateLink($id, "closepoll",$returnid, $text, array("pollid"=>$row["id"]), $this->lang("confirmclosepoll"));
			}
		} else {
			$status=$this->Lang("closed");
		}
		echo "<td class='pagepos'>".$status."</td>";

		echo "<td class='pagepos'>";
		if ($row["closed"]==0) {
		if ($row["id"]==$activepoll) {
			echo "<img src='themes/default/images/icons/system/true.gif' alt='Active poll' class='systemicon'>";
		} else {
			$text="<img src='themes/default/images/icons/system/false.gif' alt='Close poll' class='systemicon'>";
			echo $this->CreateLink($id, "activatepoll",$returnid, $text, array("pollid"=>$row["id"]));
		}
		} else {
			echo " ";
		}
		echo "</td>";

		echo "<td class='pagepos'>";
		$text="<img src='themes/default/images/icons/system/edit.gif' alt='Close poll' class='systemicon'>";
	  echo $this->CreateLink($id, "editpoll",$returnid, $text, array("pollid"=>$row["id"]));
		echo "</td>";


		echo "<td class='pagepos'>";
		if ($row["id"]==$activepoll) {
			echo " ";
		} else {
		  $text="<img src='themes/default/images/icons/system/delete.gif' alt='Delete poll' class='systemicon'>";
	    echo $this->CreateLink($id, "deletepoll",$returnid, $text, array("pollid"=>$row["id"]),$this->Lang("confirmdeletepoll"));
		}

		echo "</td>";

		echo "<td class='pagepos'>".date("d/m/Y",$row["createtime"])."</td>";

		echo "<td class='pagepos'>".($row["closed"]==1?date("d/m/Y",$row["closetime"]):" ")."</td>";

		echo "<td class='pagepos'>";
		if ($row["closed"]) {
			echo $this->Lang("pollranfor")." ";
			echo ceil((($row["closetime"]-$row["createtime"]) / (3600*24)));
			echo " ".$this->Lang("days");
		} else {
			echo $this->Lang("pollhasbeenrunningfor")." ";
			echo ceil(((time()-$row["createtime"]) / (3600*24)));
			echo " ".$this->Lang("days");
		}
		echo "</td></tr>";
		if ($rowclass=="row1") $rowclass="row2"; else $rowclass="row1";

	}
} else {

}
?>

</tbody>
</table>
<?php

echo $this->CreateFormStart($id,"addpoll",$returnid);
echo $this->CreateInputSubmit($id,"addpoll",$this->Lang("addpoll"));
echo $this->CreateFormEnd();

?>

this is not neccessary to change for the functionality-just in case if you want to see the poll_id s

4. i change the file action.addpoll.php to this

Code: Select all

if (!isset($gCms) || !$this->VisibleToAdminUser()) exit;

$value="";

if (isset($params["submit"]) || isset($params["submitadd"])) {
	if (strlen($params["pollname"])>1 && strlen($params["poll_id"])>1) {
	  $db=$this->GetDb();
	  $newid=$db->GenID(cms_db_prefix()."module_polls_seq");
	  $q="INSERT INTO ".cms_db_prefix()."module_polls (id,name,closed,createtime,poll_id) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)";
	  $p=array($newid,$params["pollname"],0,time(),$params["poll_id"]);
	  $result=$db->Execute($q,$p);

	  if (isset($params["submit"])) {
	  	$this->Redirect($id,"defaultadmin",$returnid,array("module_messages"=>$this->Lang("polladded")));
	  } else {
	  	$this->Redirect($id,"editpoll",$returnid,array("module_messages"=>$this->Lang("polladded"),"pollid"=>$newid));
	  }

	} else {
		echo $this->ShowErrors($this->Lang("pollnamerequired"));
		//Fallthrough to form
	}
} elseif (isset($params["cancel"])) {
  $this->Redirect($id,"defaultadmin",$returnid);
}

echo "<h3>".$this->Lang("addnewpoll")."</h3>";
echo $this->CreateFormStart($id,"addpoll",$returnid);
echo $this->CreateInputTextWithLabel($id,"pollname",$value,40,128,"",$this->Lang("pollname"));
echo $this->CreateInputTextWithLabel($id,"poll_id",$value,40,128,"","Poll ID");
echo "<br/>";
echo "<br/>";
echo $this->CreateInputSubmit($id,"submit",$this->Lang("add"));
echo $this->CreateInputSubmit($id,"submitadd",$this->Lang("addandaddoptions"));
echo $this->CreateInputSubmit($id,"cancel",$this->Lang("cancel"));
echo $this->CreateFormEnd();

in this way i insert a poll id in the table also which is a string

5. i change the action.default.php file
i add this code at the top of the page

Code: Select all

$pollid=$this->PollToShow();

if(isset($params['poll_id']))
{
	$db=$this->GetDb();
	$q="SELECT id FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."module_polls WHERE poll_id = ? ORDER BY createtime DESC";
	$p=array($params["poll_id"]);
	$result=$db->Execute($q,$p);
	if ($result && $result->RecordCount()>0) 
	{
		$row=$result->FetchRow();
		$pollid = $row['id'];
	}

}

in this way if the poll_id parameter is set we take the last inserted id from the db for that poll_id
if it is not set or it not exist than the id remains the active one

thats all folks
i hope it is useful for someone

special thanks for Dee for the suggestions - thanks

THank you very much for the fix! It's now in svn-version. If you would like to be added as a developer on the module you're more than welcome!

Can someone give me a URL to a site using Polls that I can look at.

I am interested in installing the mudule but would like to seee it in action first.

Thanks,

Dane

You can see the module in action on www.svk73support.dk although you may not understand the language, it should be obvious how it works.
