UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback Polls, category names and others

Scream,
The poll "view result" could do with a percent for each option along with the absolute number of votes. Also, a small gif bar can be shown as well, with the width being proportional to the percentage. Also, does it allow multiple votes from teh sam eIP if the votes occur a certain number of minutes apart? I mean if some one uses the library or a cyber cafe, then only one person can vote from a PC!! That may not be the best thing. So does the code check for time gap as well when matching the IP?

Also, has the category NAME feature being included in the new version? The one where you can use category name instead of number in the URL.

Also, a good feature I saw on another board, is to provide a link for "Printer friendly format" that does away with all the coloring and excess tables etc.

thanks,
Shashi

A little poll graphics would be killler as well as a percentage to better show what category is ahead, and by how much.

You mean like this - <img src="http://amdragon.com/images/pollpic2.gif" alt=" - " /> ?

Sort of changing subject but Scream, could you please make the poll markup language specific?
I can hack it into my own language, I will when I update. But I think it would be nicer if you allow language translation on the poll markup.

The polls markup is already complex enough as to not even understand the markup because it is in another language.

Read the FAQ. The poll mark up is there.

I think he meant graphical bars horizontally showing how much each had.

Wot? Er well, that too... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Yes. Keep the tags 'lingua franca' English - but you could translate the instructions in each FAQ into the appropriate language.

I also have a tag which allows you to insert the whole poll with one click. <A HREF="http://www.amdragon.com/cgi-bin/wwwthreads/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=hack&Number=1039&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&vc=1#Post1039" target="_new">InsertTagsWithOneClick</A>

No, markup for polls is choosen in addpost.pl lines somewhere by lines 616 and 617 -I am looking at v.5.1b1, and only the default values are language specific, not the markup itself.
See <A HREF="http://www.wwwthreads.com/perl/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=china&Number=22988&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5" target="_new">this other post</A> I made to see what I mean...
