[Block] Poll specified or most recent specified board

[martino]

Hmmm...I guess that makes sense. Thank you for the reply.

Also, one more thing which I found was that when I have two polls in one block (http://evaforum.com/forums/index.php) and when you click on one option from either one of the polls the corresponding number of the chosen option will be selected in the other one, but the vote will be submitted just for the one that was selected by the user. Is this some kind of a bug?

P.S. Sorry, but if you want to test it out on that site I posted you'll have to register...

Great code!!     

I wonder if it would be possible to have a random poll block from all of the polls that are still active (voting still allowed).  That way it even new members could find old polls..

Hm... I suppose it's not a bug it's a feature
I didn't actually check two polls voting, but I understand what is happening.
Unfortunately it can't be fixed. Not in easy way at least.

this snippet isn't working well with me
i'm using SMF 1.1.2 and TP 0.9.7.1 .

when i specify a certain poll

Code Select Expand

// show the poll from topic 6
tp_showPoll(6);   
it displays the poll (id=6)
(this is the working part of the snippet for me)

but when i specify board 2.0 to display the newest poll from board 2.0

Code Select Expand

tp_showPoll(null,'echo',2);
it keeps displaying the overall newest poll that i created in board 3.0 !!

same thing happens even if i specify the poll's id (id=5) from board 2.0

Code Select Expand

tp_showPoll(5,'echo',2);

what i'm doing wrong ?

hm...
About your board number 2.
No idea.
It works for me just fine... Did you check it, if it's really the 3 board, not the 2?

to the second one:
// show the most recent poll from the board number 5
// tp_showPoll(null,'echo',5);           
//
// keep in mind, that if board given, topic is ignored
// so it will display the same as above
// tp_showPoll(34,'echo',5)

Worked great on my website, http://www.bamanation.net

I am hoping I can figure out how to add a specific poll instead of the most recent because I want the one on there to stay for a little while.

My friend found an error (and solution ), that was causing strange behaviour when not only one board had polls.
I'll update the code in few minutes.
