Poll_XH

Post by cmb » Sun Apr 15, 2012 8:07 pm

Hello Community,

I've just released Poll_XH 1beta1. It's available from my website.

Poll_XH facilitates to place polls on your CMSimple_XH website. You can have as many polls you like, with as many options you like (single or multiple choice). The voters are distinguished by cookie and IP address, so cheating is somewhat unlikely.

It requires a UTF-8 encoded CMSimple_XH installation. It is released under GPLv3.

Poll_XH couldn't be tested so far in various environments. It is a so called BETA version. Use with caution!

Any feedback is welcome!

Hi Frank,

this message is displayed immediately after voting. And strictly seen, the message is right as you have voted already. But I will improve this with an alternative message directly after voting: "You're vote has been registered" or something.

Hi B,

or perhaps being polite: "Thank you for voting!" :?

Or to be a little sarcastic: "Now it's your responsibility for final results. Don't blame the others!"

It's no shame to ask for an answer if all efforts failed.
But it's awful to ask without any effort to find the answer yourself.

Hello Community,

I've just released Poll_XH 1beta2. It's available from my website.

A bug regarding magic_quotes_gpc was reported by oldnema (thank you!), which caused options containing quotes to be handled incorrectly. I've fixed this stupid bug in the plugin, and fixed the mixed up poll on my website.

Another important change: %%%MODE%%% is replaced by %%%MAX%%% now (see manual).

And I've changed the message after the vote as discussed above (I've chosen the "polite" wording -- feel free to change it).

Any further feedback including bug reports is welcome! And your votes of course ;)

Hi everybody!

Poll_XH 1.0beta3 has just been released.

Several enhancements have been made, and the plugin is now compatible with CMSimple_XH 1.7. See the changelog for details. However, Poll_XH now requires CMSimple_XH ≥ 1.6.3, Pfw_XH ≥ 0.2.0 and PHP ≥ 5.4.0.

The terrible file format has not been improved(although, the data files are expected in content/poll/ now), nor has the long overdue administration of the data in the plugin back-end been implemented. Sorry!

Nonetheless, enjoy!
