[technodragon73]

Ok...I give up...the first poll wouldn't stay in the forum...the new one just outright refuses to cooperate with smf/tp

Forget it...i'm done!

The advance poll one will work fine in a block.

You just need to create php file with the poll you want shown (using the code snippet it gives you), then in a php block, call that file in an iframe.

Works fine for me

Could you show me an example of the php file?

Just something like this, I havent really played with it much yet to pretty up the template to match my site yet.. but this would be all ya need for a php file. I named mine poll5.php, after the poll id i was showing.

Code Select Expand



<?php
// Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "/path/to/your/polls/poll_cookie.php";
?>

<html>
<body bgcolor="#000000" link="#E6F101" vlink="#E6F101" alink="#E6F101">
<div align="center">
<?php
include_once "/path/to/your/polls/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(5);

?>
</div>
</body>
</html>



Then, in a php block, something like:

Code Select Expand




echo '<iframe src="http://www.path/to/your/poll5.php" height="350" width="100%" Scrolling="No" align="texttop"></iframe>';





*edit*Forgot to mention, dont think it would matter so long as the paths are correct, but I dropped the file in the folder where I installed advanced poll.
