Poll images in front page block

[lurkalot]

Here you go.  I made the poll topic a variable now so it gets used for the links, so you just need to set $pollTopic instead.

I also added some padding to the bottom of each cell too so they space out a bit more.

Freddy, sorry for the delay getting back to you, been at work. 
 
Hey that's great and the new code works nicely.    http://cameracraniums.com/

Will I be able to see the votes before I vote, or only after?

I'm not sure to be honest, try it out... lemme know...

Thanks Freddy.  I'll set up a test poll and see. 

Edit:  OK set up a test poll.  it looks like the front page block is bypassing the following settings for the poll,

Show the poll's results to anyone.
Only show the results after someone has voted.
Only show the results after the poll has expired.

I'll wait until someone has voted to be sure.

OK the guys have a poll running now.  You can see the votes before voting yourself.   

Is there any way around this Freddy?

Well I can mimic what SSI normally does... try this :

Code Select Expand

/////////////////////
// Set up the topic where the poll is.
$pollTopic = 11;

// Images per row.
$imagesPerRow = 4;
/////////////////////

$pollResults = ssi_showPoll($pollTopic,'array');

// Just a counter..
$imageCount = 0;

global $scripturl;

$patternImg = "/src=[\"']?([^\"']?.*(png|jpg|gif))[\"']?/i";

echo '
<table style="width: 100%">
<tr>';

foreach ($pollResults['options'] as $pollItem)
{
preg_match($patternImg, $pollItem['option'], $image);

$imageCount++;

if ($imageCount > $imagesPerRow)
{
echo '
</tr>
<tr>';

$imageCount = 1;
}

echo '
<td style="width: 25%; text-align: center; padding: 1px 1px 10px 1px;">
<a href="' , $scripturl , '?topic=' , $pollTopic , '">
<img ' , $image[0] , ' alt="Go Vote !" title="Go Vote !" border="0" width="100" />
</a>
<br />
Member : ' , strip_tags($pollItem['option']);

if (!$pollResults['allow_vote'])
{
echo '
<br />
Votes : ' , $pollItem['votes'] , ' (' , $pollItem['percent'] , '%)
<br />
' , $pollItem['bar'];
}

echo '
</td>';

}

while ($imageCount < $imagesPerRow)
{
echo '
<td style="width: 25%">
</td>';

$imageCount++;
}

echo '
</tr>
</table>';

Woohoo, it works. 

Thank you Freddy, you're a star.    I'm sure the guys will love this.

Welcome

[lurkalot]

  I spoke too soon.  All works well but now if you sign out you can see the votes. 

[Freddy]

Yeah it's the same with SSI.  I guess they figured that if they aren't a member then it might not matter if guests could see the results.  OR they never finished doing it properly...

We could hide the results from guests...would that do ?

That would be great, and would cure the problem   I'm assuming the poll images etc will still be visible etc, but just not the votes.

If worst comes to worst and as a last resort, I could always hide the block from guests.

Thanks again
