Is http://209.35.175.12/snitz/polls.txt the most up-to-date code?

Yes! That has the bug fixes mentioned above in it. Haven't had time to clean it up and make it easy to go through but it's all there.

I have added the poll mod to clean install of 3.1sr4. If you want the files you can dowanload it here: http://www.dsilvera.com/forum/mods/snitz_polls.zip
The changes to the files have been clearly commented. The only thing you would have to do is setup the database fields as slemieux says in the readme file.

Has anyone successfully installed this mod using the files in this Zip? When I installed it, all of the first messages in each thread started coming up blank...

Did you add the database fields for the mod?

I provided the files in the zip so you wouldn't have to go through the instructions and adding the mod manually. So all the changes slemieux mentioned in his polls.txt file are already done in those files. You would have to do the database changes yourself, as is stated in the instructions slemieux posted.
Unless someone could create a .dbs script so you don't have to do the database changes manually.

Note: I added the admin_poll.asp file to the zip which was missing from it.

Yep, I added the database fields specified in the readme, and copied the files in the zip directly over the SR4 files.

The first message in every thread displays a blank message (although the text for the message is in the database, its just not showing the message body).

Another problem:

After I turn on the option to show the featured poll, I get this error when the main page reloads:

ADODB.Field error '80020009'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted; the operation requested by the application requires a current record.

?

I've noticed a similar error popping up on the demo site that was listed earlier in this thread.

Sorry for that duplicate post above...

Anyways, there appears to be the following bugs in the poll mod contained in the archive:

1) If there is no featured poll selected, and featured polls is turned on, it results in this error when you try to view the main forum page (this error seems to exist in the mod itself, since the demo site has the same trouble):

ADODB.Field error '80020009'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted; the operation requested by the application requires a current record.

?

2) The option to set the Featured Poll appears to be missing from the main Admin menu.

3) The first message in every thread is blank (although the messages themselves still exist in the database, the message body text isn't being displayed).

Any chance of a bugfixed version of the archive going online? I *really* like this mod!

Don't know why I didn't think of that extra check. Simply a matter of putting and if EOF or BOF statement around the Poll table. I will add it.

Will add that in. It's also very easy, just put a link in with the rest

This is probably due to if answer1 = " ". hamb0n3z posted the fix above just add trim(rs("answer1")) = "" I did that without looking at the code so the "rs" may be different.
And yes, I will update the text file ASAP

Uploaded the fixes mentioned above, I do believe it should take care of those problems.

Again this isn't a mod you can add quickly, simply because the instructions are not layed out very well. I will do that as soon as I get a few extra minutes.

I forgot to add the admin_home.asp file to the zip, which has been updated. So it includes the Set Featured Poll link.
The only thing left to complete this mod is a script to setup the necessary fields in the database. Most of these problems that are being encountered is because the db fields aren't being setup correctly.
If only we could get HuwR or Rich to make a .dbs script for this mod.

Can you tell me where in the instructions this check is? I'll add it to the file from Davio's archive. Thanks!

I've installed the mod per the instructions at http://209.35.175.12/snitz/polls.txt. The error with the featured topic appears to be fixed. However, I am still getting the error with the first message in each thread displaying a blank message. Any ideas?
