Fix Poll Appearance

March 20, 2006 Author: Chris T Posted in: Seditio Core Hacks

 

This is how polls are looking by default. Notice that it doesn’t look like a poll so don’t expect many votes from visitors.

Also notice that ugly space in the second pic above the first option. These things we are going to fix now.

Open plugins\recentitems\recentitems.php. Note that recentitems haven’t change much so the directions may be also applied to ldu version.

Find this line

$res .= stripslashes($row['poll_text'])."<p>";

Replace by this

$res .= stripslashes($row['poll_text'])."<br /> <br />";

Find this line

$res .= stripslashes($row['po_text'])."</a><br />";

Replace by this

$res .= "<input type='radio' name='pollbutton' class='radio' /> ".stripslashes($row['po_text'])."</a><br />";

Find this line

$res .= "</p><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"javascript:polls('".$poll_id."')\">".$L['polls_viewresults']."</a> &nbsp; ";

Replace by this

$res .= "<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"javascript:polls('".$poll_id."')\">".$L['polls_viewresults']."</a> &nbsp; ";

Now let’s see what we have done

Much better in the next update of this quide i will add a vote button because usually visitors don’t understand that they have to click on the option to vote.

Well, Don’t know what you are doing wrong, but the hack works perfectly for me, and I have the latest stable version of Sed (v121)
