I have loaded and tested the poll mod. The mod works as designed on my site. After installing the mod icons, such as NEW POLL, VOTE and VIEW the icons are not showing up in the spaces beside the lables for the icons.
I installed the icons in my image folder, then my root folder, then my forum folder with the same results.
I did a search in the current and archived areas of snitz and no similar situation found. It may be my implementation of the code for the poll mod.
I have installed several mods, gatekeeper, classified, password, site intergration, rules, faq, avatar and now poll mod in this forum copy.
1. After installing the poll mod the first avatar in a topic disappeared, however all avatars below the first post in a topic appears as expected.
2. The poll's icons do not appear in the forum as expected.
Are the two problems related? I am going to search my forums code and find a solution, but if anyone has a suggestion for the polls icon problem I could use a little help.
Poll is turned on in the inshore fishing reports.

Yes, I loaded one change to the inc_iconfiles
this is the section of code added. Is there more than one section of code for this file?
Const strIconUnsubscribe = "icon_unsubscribe.gif|15|15"
Const strIconUrl = "icon_url.gif|16|16"
Const strIconYahoo = "icon_yahoo.gif|16|15"
'#################### Poll Mod #####################
Const strViewComments = "view_comments.gif|108|16"
Const strViewResults = "view_results.gif|95|16"
Const strVoteNow = "vote_now.gif|72|16"
Const strIconPoll = "icon_poll.gif|15|15"
'###################################################
Const strIconAdobe = "icon_adobe.gif|16|16"
Const strIconElse = "icon_else.gif|16|16"

I did not turn on poll creation by all members, this is my fault. I have changed the access to create polls. however I am also reinstalling the poll mod code to each file as required, maybe this time it will work better for me.
under inshore fishing, if you will try it again use ID user: guest test pwd: testtest
As I update the files I am recieving other errors. But until I update the files I know I will have a problem.< |

For #1, post the link to a txt version of your topic.asp file.
For #2, the code is perfectly correct in the poll mod to display the icons. They should be in the same folder the rest of your forum icons are. No other place.
It's easy to figure out the problem for missing images. Can just check on the location that the browser is trying to find the image, in the html code. With Firefox you could easily right click, select View Page Info and click the Media tab. Scroll down until you see the Poll Mod icon listed and check if the location of the icon that it is looking for is correct.
With IE, can choose view source and search for the name of the icon in the html code (if you know the name of at least 1 of the poll mid icons), and check the location as well.< |

Davio, This is a link to my topic.asp in txt format.
http://www.georgiatacklebox.com/forum/topic.txt
We have a wedding to attend in Jamacia in November, so computers will be safe for the short time I am away. Davio, Jamacia is a beautiful place to live.
I followed the instructions by Classicmotorcycling and the results were good. I did infact put the icons in the wrong folder.
The icons are displayed as expected. The code is correct and will work if loaded in the proper fashion.
Thanks for the help on the icons, the whole look of the poll mod is better with the icons.
Now on to Snitzbitz to rate the mod. 5 stars plus< |

On line 112 of your topic.asp file, you need to add the following code in red.
", M.M_TITLE, M.M_HOMEPAGE, M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_LEVEL, M.M_POSTS, M.M_COUNTRY, M.M_AVATAR_URL" & _
Then on line 148, uncomment that line by removing the ' from the beginning.
'Member_Avatar = rsTopic("M_AVATAR_URL")
The rest of your file looks ok.< |

I knew it had to be something simple, as Davio's mods have never let me down in the past and quite easy to install.   < |

i have to respond in all lower caps, because i fell so low. the code correction you gave me davio works just fine.
i did not pay attention to the changes in the code from the poll mod like i should have in the topics file. i cut and pasted that file with out comparing it with existing mods.
i only added a comment mark to the line 148 because of an error i had after adding the poll mod, but the error was from leaving out the correct code from line 112.
again it works great, thanks for the help.< |

No prob. I understand why you commented it out. Just have to be more careful next time when different mods edit the same section of code. If it's just 1 line of code, can do a comparison and merge the code changes for both mods.
In this case, the poll mod code removed the changes made by the avatar mod and there the problem started.< |
