Hi sump,
This is just a suggestion. I haven't tried it myself yet.
Assuming your "site_poll.asp" file is under the same folder as you website main page, do the following:
Open your website main page with Dreamweaver or Frontpage, and where you want the Poll to appear, create a table. Then do a Server Side Include. It should look like this,
quote:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<!--#include file="site_poll.asp" -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Back up any data before changes.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I am not the most knoledgable in these area's I just keep trying. I thought that the purpus of the script was to make the poll "pop" on the front page of the site ?
Yes the site_poll.asp file is in the same plasce as the Default.htm
I will try and play around with it a bit ??
thank you

Ok here's what i did ... i added this code that i got from another site that had the desired result..
i added this on my "default.htm"
<script language="JavaScript" for="window" event="onload()">
window.open("http://www.cluba.net/site_poll.asp", "myannouncer",
"scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,height=175,width=350")
</script>
i am sure that there is a better way to do it ?
i do not like that if you click to vote the original Window stays there, i would like it to go away as a result of clicking to vote ?
I still would like to know why the orignal script did not work ??
Thank you

Hi sump,
I'm glad you got it working.
The code in "site_poll.asp" was written so the Poll could reside outside the forum, but that doesn't mean that it would automatically appear on your website frontpage. It runs from anywhere the actual file is located, i.e. "http://www.cluba.net/site_poll.asp" in your website. Or if you want it included in any other page, you have to do a link.
As for the option, Poll On or Off after you vote. It's under Admin Options/Poll Configuration, but again I think that's only for the Poll in your forum and not the one on your site.
Good luck!

The site poll mod wasn't meant to "pop-up" on your site. It was meant for to include it in your front page. Just like many other big sites (like news sites) have a poll on thier front page where you can vote.
I never had it mind for it be used in a pop-up window, but I'm sure you can do some tweaking to make it work. |

Ok thanks,..
2 issues ...
1 i would like to learn how to make it work as intended ....
2 as it is now it does Pop Up but it uses the old poll for the pop up and then if you click to vote it goes to the poll that is chosen to be featured ?
thank you

Ok wait a sec. I might be understanding you here. I just looked at your site_poll.asp and realized you have the featured poll set to open in a new window so the users can vote. Was that what you were reffering to as "pop_up"?
1) The way the script was meant to work was for you to include it in to your front page. You can access the site_poll.asp file directly first to check if it works ok, before including it unto your site.
2) What do you have set for your strPollAppURL? |

I think for your previous question you need to go into your admin options, click "poll configuration" and make sure the "Open Featured Poll in New Window" option is turned off. This will stop the vote button from opening another window.
You can also make the site poll colors fit the colors of your site. Just need to edit them in the site_poll.asp file. Instructions are in there to make the colors fit your site.
I'm not sure why the site_poll is showing the wrong poll as the featured poll. Did you previously set the "What do you think is the main cause of a Relapse ?" poll to be a featured poll?
Also check the admin options --> forum variables information, and see what the value of strFeaturedPollID is. |

Yes i had that poll for a bit and then the other day decided to play with the scipt on the web site.
i made a poll for "what O/S" you have. went in and made chages in the admin options so it would be the featured poll. ( i will change it back to it now)
when it is the First "pop" you see is to vote in the "relapse" poll but when you click to vote the "O/S" poll comes up.
thank you
