Poll system (0.9)

[Falconer]

Cool little poll script indeed! I spent probably a day finding a decent poll script, then found this one. With a little love&care, it can look great too. Check:

I seem to be running into some problems.



> I have several people who report to me that the first time a new poll is made, they can vote normally.

> When they return to the page, they are asked to vote again but when they do, nothing happens, it just keeps showing the questions and the vote button.



My first response was to ask them to clear their cookies. Didn't make any difference at all.



Any ideas?

Same exact problem I am receiving. All it does is allow you do select the answer, click Vote and then it just brings you back to the page with no results. Does anyone have a fix for this?

[Falconer]

Still experiencing this, but got a little further with the troubleshooting.



It's no cookie problem (not even sure if the poll sets cookies) because I experienced it just now in a browser I have never used to view the site with.



It's also no browser related. Problem appears in Firefox and Internet explorer.



The only thing I can think of is that IP adresses that were used before, are not always allowed to post again...



*edit*



I think I may have found something, but a programmer needs to tell me what I found hehe.



Check out the IP's that have posted:



|83.160.207.66|67.173.65.22|86.59.104.141|74.135.177.121|62.163.251.12|82.42.182.124|80.62.42.106|81.156.42.33|209.33.211.54|86.136.242.203|24.85.22.126|209.9.216.49|80.229.26.100|24.24.201.112|195.156.245.50|205.71.87.21|84.41.133.32|70.181.21.190|130.36



See the last IP? It's broken off. If you count them, there are 255 characters. In myphpadmin, I can see that the field that these IP's are in, will only accept 255 characters... How do I change this to unlimited? I'm certaing this will solve the problem.

[Falconer]

Okay, via PHPmyadmin, I was able to change the value from var255 to text. Seems to work now.



The mod should be changed because every site that gets at least a little bit of traffic, will get this problem.

[FI-DD]

Done. Thanks for finding this.

Nice one Falconer.



Could find it myself

[Falconer]

Yup, glad I did too. Really loved everything about the poll, would have hated to need to deinstall it.



Besides, my first official bug fix! (my programming skills end at $date = hehe).

Hi all.

Is there a possibility to make poll with multiple choice (checkbox not radio)

[Reddox]

Swizzer, are you still working on this script?

[RDM]

Where is the admin area? Or how i can manage polls? I activate it from manage plugins.. i inserted this <?=cn_poll(); ?> and nothing appears .. but where is the admin?

[RDM]

No one can help me?

[RDM]

I figured it out.. i didn t upload poll directory in plugins/ ..

Is it possible to sort the results by "size"? The one with the highest % on the top...

[x-byte]

Just bumping to check about to things i want to request if possible.

What about a link under the vote buttom which let you view the result, and mabye count that as no vote (user can't vote again)?
