Hi, Matt!
For UTF-8 you need add mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'") in file poll_process.php after line $conn = mysql_connect($server,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die(mysql_error())

I took the time to test this, and it works flawlessly, I just made a test poll on my site (in danish) but it looks good.

Hi Tatsu,

If you want to "close" a poll, right now, the only way to do that is to set the "novote" option to 1 when displaying the poll.

Like this;

As for displaying the latest poll, you would have to write a small function to do such. Simply select the poll form the DB with the highest ID number and pass that to the show_poll function.

As for making the poll always show in X location, I use an extra within the admin interface to display on the page/categories I want.

Howdy,

once again i have a question. This mod is fantastic! But I have a idea...how could you make, that the mod will run allways at (example index.php below the cat)
That the poll will automaticly update for a new poll, or it would type or say, the poll is closed! VOTING ISNT ALLOWED ANY MORE! how would i make that? :D

tnx matt!

Thanks for the note salut. I just realized there is a problem with returning the poll via PHP in version 1.0.2, if you're not using my caching mod.

I have just updated the file, please download mod_poll_1.0.3.zip, and replace the poll_functions.php file and you should be all set.

Or you could just make sure to echo the show_poll function when calling via PHP;

Sorry about that!

Hello! Sorry for my English. Thank you for the addition to Snews. I did everything as written in the instructions, then created a poll and at his page, put the function call

But the poll is not displayed. What could be the reason?
Thank you.

Whoops, looks I left it out of 1.0.2, I have added it back in the zip file, thanks selo!

Seems like a great mod, but where is the poll.sql? It doesn't appear to be inside the zip file. Please check it.
