Poll Problem

[cLord]

When a poll has more then 6 possible answers then the image paths are wrong!

The /images/polls/ dir only contains bar1.gif to bar6.gif
CMPS searches for bar7.gif, bar8.gif...

Ahhh, gotta love simple little mistakes. Moving this to the bugs forum.

For the fix, open your forum/modules/currentpoll.php and look for:

$option['graphicnumber'] = $key + 1 % 6 + 1;

Replace that with:

$option['graphicnumber'] = ($key + 1) % 6 + 1;

And that should fix the problem. :)

they don't seem to me corrected yet:confused:

the problem is the percentage is calculated by dividing the number of votes on a poll option by the total number of voters (NOT the votes!), which is a problem when the votes are multiple choice.

What is the variable used for the total number of votes?

Attached is a new currentpoll.php file. Upload that to your forum/modules directory, and then go to your Style Manager, edit your portal_poll template and look for:

$pollinfo[voters]

Replace that with:

$pollinfo[nvotes]

And that will fix the probelm. :)
