I have found problem with Poll in CMPS custom pages.
I added new 'template' pages, some with guides to different beaches, some for towns. I also created separate threads with polls in vB. On each of my custom vBa page, I try to specify corresponding poll, so visitor to each page can rate this beach or town and view current rating (Brian, remember venue hack that you wrote for me some years ago which did the same thing).
Problem arises when assigning particular poll to a particular page in Admin > vBa CMPS > Edit Pages. As far as I understand this, each new page added through CMPS can show unique Poll, as specified in 'Edit' page. But whole process is very messy and unreliable - or is it just me doing something wrong.
I would specify poll 1 for page 1, and check to see if it works. I would then specify poll 2 for page 2, and check this for correctness. Poll 3 for page 3 etc. But going back to page 1 would reveal that this page is now showing Poll X - last one I setup in Page 3 or default poll appearing on CMPS index page, and not related to these polls, or whatever. Correcting poll in Page 1 would mess Page 3 etc.
Another problem is trying to specify poll in Admin > vBa CMPS > Edit Pages > Edit Page X > Current Poll Options > Current Poll Threads > Edit Threads > new window. Here, I would be presented with Poll X (which I did not select previously) and a check-box to remove it, which would not do so. So I would then choose another poll, and would have, say, Poll 1 and Poll X as selected polls. I would use check box to remove Poll X, which would actually remove Poll 1?!?
I seem to be chasing my own tail trying to set up different poll on different pages, and for me this is the must have feature in order to get branding free licence. Is this a known problem?
note: this problem occurs on my test site, and not on one in my sig.
