poll

I Often get the question how I installed the poll on
www.uisge-beatha.eu
I'm using Advanced Poll
http://www.proxy2.de/poll/index.php
Installed it in folder called Poll in the root of the website
Made some changed to demo_1.php
Code: Select all
/* fourth poll */
//echo $php_poll->poll_process(4);
echo $php_poll->poll_process($pollnr);
In the template I added:
Code: Select all
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="/uploads/Javascripts/resize_iframe.js"></__script>
Don't know where I picked up the js-file. Suggest to google it.
Created a UDT named 'poll', containing:
Code: Select all
echo '<__iframe width="190" id="the_iframe" onLoad="calcHeight()" frameborder="0" src="poll/demo_1.php?pollnr='.$params[pnr].'"></__iframe>';
Created a UDT named 'include_poll', containing:
Code: Select all
include_once "/home/gregor/domains/uisge-beatha.eu/public_html/poll/poll_cookie.php";
In the page I call the UDT:
{poll pnr=8}
This refers to poll number 8.
Hope this helps.

Hi Gregor,
thanks for your T&T !
Please correct me if Im wrong, but your Poll is now only icluded into your template, it isnt managed from the CMS MS backend, isnt it?
Actually, I played a little bit around with the official CMS MS Polls and I get a very similar result (find the file attached). I also added the possibility to create categories into it including the new parameter to show only polls from concrete category.
All the best,
Miro

Hi Miro,
You're welcome.
When I had the 'need' for a poll, the cmsms poll was different than I would like to have on my site, so I looked for another solution outside cmsms. I included my poll in the site page instead of the template. Maybe I should have a look to the cms solution again.
Greetz, Gregor

To give it a try, I installed polls made simple, added a poll, added the reference to the ajax-java script to the template. I can see the poll
http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/index.php?page=test, after voting I return to the home page. The link shown is:
http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/?pollvotingchoice_1=1&vote=Vote#
Any ideas?

I think you have issues with ".htaccess". I am not using pretty url.

Thnks for reply!
Hmm, would be a pitty if that is the case. I'll give it a try on one of my other site.
Let's assume pretty rl's is the reason why, any idea how to solve it?

I gave it a try on a non-pretty url website and there it worked out fine.
Any idee how to get bars to show the number and percentage after the given answers?

Here is simple idea.
Copy this Poll result template.
{$max_width} max bar length
{$extra_width} percent value label width
Code: Select all
<div id="pollresults" style='margin: 0 10px;'>
<table cellspacing="0" style="border-style:none;">
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan='2' style='background-color:#ffffff;'>
{$pollname}
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<br/>
</td>
</tr>
{assign var='max_value' value='0'}
{foreach from=$options item=entry}
{if $max_value < $entry->votes}
{assign var='max_value' value=$entry->votes}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{assign var='max_width' value='100'}
{assign var='multiplier' value="`$max_width/$max_value`"}
{assign var='extra_width' value='40'}
{foreach from=$options item=entry}
<tr>
<td>
{$entry->name}
</td>
<td>
<div style='position:relative;width:{$max_width+$extra_width}px;'>
<div style=' background-color:red;width:{"`$multiplier*$entry->votes`"|round}px;float:left;'>
</div>
<div>
{$entry->percent}
</div>
</div>
</td>
<td>
({$entry->votes}{if $entry->votes==1}{*$votetext*}{else}{*$votestext*}{/if})
</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<br/> {*$totalvotestext*}Viso balsų: {$totalvotes}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
{$voteform}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Great, thanks! It does work with non-pretty url's.
On another site with pretty url's, poll ms does not work

I noticed that the bars all have the same color. Could it be possible to create an array with different colors and that for each bar a different color is picked from the array? Suggestion on how to do it?

Bar colors are "#39e,blue,#999,red". Write comma separated values you need.
Actually bars with background image instead of plain color would look better.
Code: Select all
{assign var='bar_colors' value=','|explode:"#39e,blue,#999,red"}
{foreach from=$bar_colors item=color key=color_key}
{/foreach}
{assign var='colors_count' value="`$color_key+1`"}
<div id="pollresults" style='margin: 0 10px;'>
<table cellspacing="0" style="border-style:none;">
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan='2' style='background-color:#ffffff;'>
{$pollname}
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<br/>
</td>
</tr>
{assign var='max_value' value='0'}
{foreach from=$options item=entry}
{if $max_value < $entry->votes}
{assign var='max_value' value=$entry->votes}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{assign var='max_width' value='100'}
{assign var='multiplier' value="`$max_width/$max_value`"}
{assign var='extra_width' value='30'}
{foreach from=$options item=entry key='option_key'}
<tr>
<td>
{$entry->name}
</td>
<td>
<div style='position:relative;width:{$max_width+$extra_width}px;'>
<div style=' background-color:
{assign var=color_key value="`$option_key%$colors_count`"}
{$bar_colors.$color_key};width:{"`$multiplier*$entry->votes`"|round}px;float:left;'>
</div>
<div>
{$entry->percent}
</div>
</div>
</td>
<td>
({$entry->votes}{if $entry->votes==1}{else}{/if})
</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<br/>Viso balsų: {$totalvotes}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
{$voteform}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Looks nice. Don't quite understand what you mean with: "Actually bars with background image instead of plain color would look better. "
Do you have a suggestion how to print the label before the bar? I tried:
Code: Select all
<div style=' background-color:
{$option->label}{assign var=color_key value="`$option_key%$colors_count`"}
{$bar_colors.$color_key};width:{"`$multiplier*$entry->votes`"|round}px;float:left;'>
</div>
But that didn't work out....

In this one i have mixed background patterns (4 in 1 picture ) and background colors (3).
If you want to see pattern only - comment {*$bar_colors.$color_key*}, to see colors only - {* url("{$bar_pattern}")*}
Also values you most likely want to change are marked.
{assign var='bar_pattern' value='/uploads/images/bars_pattern.png'}
{assign var='bar_pattern_count' value=4}
{assign var='bar_colors' value=','|explode:"green,#999,red"}
{foreach from=$bar_colors item=color key=color_key}
{/foreach}
{assign var='colors_count' value="`$color_key+1`"}
{assign var='extra_width' value='30'}
{assign var='max_width' value='100'}
{$pollname}
{assign var='max_value' value='0'}
{foreach from=$options item=entry}
{if $max_value votes}
{assign var='max_value' value=$entry->votes}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{assign var='multiplier' value="`$max_width/$max_value`"}
{foreach from=$options item=entry key='option_key'}
{assign var=color_key value="`$option_key%$colors_count`"}
{assign var='bg_offset' value="`$option_key%$bar_pattern_count`"}
{$entry->name}
votes`"|round}px; float:left; height:20px;'>
{$entry->percent}
({$entry->votes}{if $entry->votes==1}{else}{/if})
{/foreach}
Viso balsų: {$totalvotes}
{$voteform}
P.S.
{$max_width} max bar length
{$extra_width} percent value label width
Units are px.
I am sure your patterns will be better than mine
