Did you add all of the poll mod code to your config.asp file?
Try downloading your config.asp file and comparing it with the config.asp file that came with the poll mod and make sure you added all the code.
You could also try going to setup.asp page, so the forum can reset all the variables. |

Thanks Davio, Now it is saving the settings but still I am unable to use this features,
I was reading readme and found the following,
Q: How do I create a poll?
A: There will be a "New Poll" link on the forum.asp and topic.asp pages of your forum beside the "New Topic" link. If you don't see it, edit your forum properties and make sure the poll permissions are set to "Allow Members" or "Admin/Moderator Only". Also check if your have turned the polls option to "On" in your Poll Configuration.
I am unable to locate "Allow Members" or "Admin/Moderator Only"? |

| I have created a Poll but few users are not able to see voting option and it is showing them the result. Even myself can't vote in that Poll. It showed me first time but when I pressed the View Rresult button then I can't vote just viewing result bars with percent. I have tried many options in the admin but no gain. I know you can vote only once but in my case I have not yet voted. |

Once you view the poll results, you can't vote after that. Some users want to view the results, to see what everyone else has voted before they vote. Once you view the results, you give up your chance to vote.
You can turn this off in the admin poll options. I think the option is something like "Allow members to view poll results before vote" or something close to that. |

This is per forum. Make sure you have all forums set to this option, if you want to restrict new polls to only admins/mods. I can assure you, that if you added all of the poll mod code to your files correctly, no normal user will be able to create a new poll. Only admins and members.

This works for any new polls AFTER you have turned this on. This won't work for existing polls. The View Result button will always be there, but it won't mark it as a vote when you view the results. You will be able to vote afterwards. |

Yes I have set in the each forum but as you know when a user click on "view results" before voting then he can't vote later so I am trying it to disable permanently.
If it is allowing to create all the users then which .asp file I should config?
Thanks for your time and cooperation |

The admin option is that use can view before voting "Allow Users to View Poll Results Before Voting" but you said,
"Once you view the poll results, you can't vote after that. Some users want to view the results, to see what everyone else has voted before they vote. Once you view the results, you give up your chance to vote."

Even I have only allowed admin/moderators to post a poll but still normal users are able to post a poll. Here is the code from my topic.asp,
select case strRqMethod
case "Topic"
if (Forum_Type = 1) then
Go_Result "You have attempted to post a New Topic to a Forum designated as a Web Link"
end if
if (blnCStatus = 0) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
Go_Result "You have attempted to post a New Topic to a Locked Category"
end if
if (blnFStatus = 0) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
Go_Result "You have attempted to post a New Topic to a Locked Forum"
end if
'################################# Poll Mod ###############################
if Request.QueryString("poll") = "1" then
if strPolls = "0" then
Go_Result "Polls are turned off for this Forum"
elseif strPolls = "1" and Forum_Polls = "0" then
Go_Result "Polls are disabled for this Forum"
elseif strPolls = "1" and (Forum_Polls = "2" and AdminAllowed = 0) then
Go_Result "Only Admins and Moderators are allowed to create polls"
end if
end if
'##########################################################################
case "EditTopic"
if ((blnCStatus = 0) or (blnFStatus = 0) or (blnTStatus = 0)) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
Go_Result "You have attempted to edit a Locked Topic"
end if
case "Reply", "ReplyQuote", "TopicQuote"
if ((blnCStatus = 0) or (blnFStatus = 0) or (blnTStatus = 0)) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
Go_Result "You have attempted to Reply to a Locked Topic"
end if
case "Edit"
if ((blnCStatus = 0) or (blnFStatus = 0) or (blnTStatus = 0)) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
Go_Result "You have attempted to Edit a Reply to a Locked Topic"
end if
end select

Post a link to your forum. I will need a username and password I can use to login to your forum.
Also post a link to a txt version of your post.asp and post_info.asp file. |
