CMS Made Simple Forums

I am trying to use Polls Made Simple and am encountering some issues.

1). The Result template has "poll list template" which of course just displays "poll list template".  Do I click the "Reset to default template" and will that make something display?
2). Do I need a specific stylesheet to use this module?  It does not display the options results.

Any tips on how to use this module properly?

I had to reset to default template.....
Try that first!

I did reset to the default.  Nothing displays but the vote & peek buttons.  Then when I vote nothing displays.

I am using a clean CMSMS 1.0.2 install with the Left simple navigation + 1 column template.  Really a plain vanilla setup

Okey dokey...
You need Ajax made simple 1.0.2 installed as well.
Plus, have you done a poll and made it active?

Yes, AjaxMadeSimple 0.1.3 is installed and a poll with one option was active.  It is working now, I went back in and the poll was inactive.  Is there some sample polls out there that someone could provide a link to?

Excellent....
Haven't seen any sample polls out there, but there are plenty of other systems in use!

I am also having problems with "Polls made simple." I have installed the current version of the Ajax module,  given the right permissions to the admin, and activated the poll,  but pressing the button "vote" and "peek" go to the default page instead of the results template. 

Yes, I updated the results template to the current version.

Any ideas?

Are there parameters we can use that are not documented? Like resultpage="alias"?

I'm having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM, and I think I know why. It has something to do with using Pretty Urls. 

I've used polls made simple a few times before, and it worked on this website, until I turned pretty urls on, then it went to front page. It might have something to do with the form's "action" tag pointing to a page that the pretty urls messes up??

Any ideas how that could be fixed??

I have installed Polls Made Simple 0.1.6 with AjaxMadeSimple 0.1.3 on CMSMS 1.0.6 Niihau and set the correct admin permissions.

Every time I go to add a poll I enter the Poll name (test) and ID (1) and click 'Add' and get the following error :

A name for the poll is required

I have also tried clicking 'Add poll and options' rather than just 'add' but I get the same error.

Does anyone know what's going on?

no ideas then...?

I am now runing this module on two seperate CMS installations with the latest versions of both CMSMS and Polls with the same problem.

I'm using the poll from Advanced Poll 2.0.7 Look at http://proxy2.de/scripts.php
For a working version, have a look at http://www.wsv-herkingen.nl/

I call it with a UDT {poll} and changed the php-code fromAdvanced poll a very little.

Ran into the same problem.  Turns out the poll isn't active when you first create it.  It's misleading because it says "close poll" when you hover over the red X under Active. 

I'm having the same problem as those above. Has anyone found a solution?

- When you vote in a poll, you get taken to http://www.domain.com/?pollvotingchoice_2=6&vote=Vote# . No vote is registered.

- CMSMS 1.2.2
- Polls Made Simple 0.2.0
- Installed Ajax Made Simple 0.1.5

- I created a poll
- I added three options
- I made it Active--there's a green checkmark showing
- I also reset the default templates just in case
- It shows up on the page with {cms_module module='polls' poll_id=$pollname}
- I see the form and submit and peek
- When you select one and click submit, it doesn't get logged
- Peek also takes you to the wrong place

The form action is to #   

Q: Could it be an Ajax Made Simple problem? Is there something in the HTML or elsewhere that I can see that it's working?

Q: Is it a Pretty URLs problem? I am new to CMSms so don't know anything about it. Just modifying someone else's installation. Also, I don't have FTP access. So I can't change config.php or .htaccess

I searched through the forums and many discussions about this topic are dead ends, not solved... Does anyone have it working?

Thanks,
James

Have the same problem.

- CMSMS 1.2.4
- Polls Made Simple 0.2.0
- Installed Ajax Made Simple 0.1.5

- I created a poll
- I added two options
- I made it Active--there's a green checkmark showing
- I also reset the default templates just in case
- It shows up on the page with {cms_module module='polls'}
- I see the form and submit
- When you select one and click submit, it doesn't get logged

I really need a poll system.

Is there a solution or do I need to use an other 'not cmsms' poll system in an iframe.

Please help !!!
