Poll block

[Deacon]

I downloaded DynamicPoll and had no problem setting it up, but I'm having problems when trying to get it to show, either on the right side or frontpage. I tried to use a php block and inserted:

<?
include("dynamicpoll/poll.php");
?>

as it was suggested, but I keep getting a parsing include error. I'm sure that this is a simple issue of me inserting the wrong code...

Can anyone shed some light on this?

(I've already gone ahead and created a number of polls that are waiting in the queue)

you cant put the "<?" and ">"...
just include("dynamicpoll/poll.php");

Thanks. Using this I can get it to display as a Frontpage block. BUt now when I navigate to the next poll, the poll show up in it's own browser page. THe include works for the first poll but then successive polls aren't contained in the block. THey go off on their own.

i had the same issue...I wanted the polls to only show the results and stay in the block...but when someone votes it takes them off-site

I went ahead and emailed James about it to see if we can't get it resolved....

for that my friends, only if you use an IFRAME i guess...

i thought about doing that...but i would really like to keep from doing that.

Will do. Actually, I have a similar type of function running in a Xoops site where I insert an iframe reference to an php page:

<?

include("../../mainfile.php");
include($xoopsConfig['root_path']."header.php");


// url opened
$urladdress=rawurldecode($urladdress);
include($xoopsConfig['root_path']."header.php");
OpenTable();
echo "<iframe SRC=\"http://www.mysite.com/acars/pilot_roster.php\" WIDTH=\"100%\"  HEIGHT=\"500\" FRAMESPACING=0 FRAMEBORDER=no  BORDER=0 SCROLLING=auto></iframe>";
CloseTable();

include($xoopsConfig['root_path']."footer.php");
die;

?>

Now there are also links in the pilot_roster.php which open up in the block (iframe, I guess). SUppose there's a little snippet that would work here that's similar to this one? Obviously I'm not a php guru, but I do understand enough to be dangerous!!

the funny part is the include for the poll system works perfectly in a right or left block...it's just if someone votes...if it could only do like a lot of polls on other sites and just show the results after pressing vote it would be perfect!

Now this site also has a decent php poll, which may work like ya'll want it to:
