This is a mod I've been working on for a while now. Previously there were only two other Poll mods available for punbb 1.2/fluxbb 1.2: Easy Poll and Easy Poll+. I did not like the way how the Easy Poll mod would break other mods you had installed (it required you to replace very big portions of code). Easy Poll+ on the other had is much better, with more features and permission settings, but is quite a chore to install (has more than 120 steps in the readme!). I also did not like layout of the links (e.g. putting the 'Create new poll' link below the 'Post new topic' link), and that one had to go to the admin cp to edit polls.

Auto Poll is mostly based on Easy Poll, and also includes all of the features available in Easy Poll+, and more. When creating this mod, I tried to make it as simple as possible to install.

Here is a list of some of the features:

1. Polls can be edited, delete and reset by admin and moderators on the poll itself. Admin can specify in the admin cp whether moderators can delete, edit or reset polls. There is also the option to 'Silent edit' a poll.

2. Can create regular or multiselect polls. To create a multiselect poll, just select the option 'Allow users to select more than one answer', when creating a new poll.

3. Made some style fixes to the percentage bars shown when displaying poll results. Also fixed numerous other bugs that were present in the Easy Poll mod.

4. The total number of voters are now shown below poll results, instead of total number of votes.

5. This mod is also compatible with PostgreSQL.

Awesome mod

Great mod! And very clean install!

Just keep in mind, if you do use other languages than English you need to copy the /lang/English/poll.php -file to your language folder as well!

Thanks

Have just installed this in the wild - will report any problems. Thanks for writing!

How do I update to this? I would like to be able to edit polls.

I installed this on my site, I love it, easy to use, one question, how can I change the color of the result bar?

doki · 2010-06-15 03:32:35

hi koos, any chance to update this mod for version 1.4? Thanks

artoodetoo · 2010-06-21 21:30:02

Great job Koos!

I have my own fix for v1.4 + Russian lang file
http://fluxbb.org.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3241 (topic on Russian, but code is clear for all)

ERRORS IN LANG FILE:
Missed entry: 'Too long option',
Never used entry: 'Cannot edit poll'

doki · 2010-06-23 05:58:17

Hi R2D2 thanks for the fix. I've check your fix tru google translate. If i'm correct the fix is for new installation right? how about if autopoll is already installed (upgraded to 1.4) do we need to modify the database?

artoodetoo · 2010-06-23 19:38:26

IF your groups table haven't field g_post_polls, you shoud alter table manually.

It finally works. thanks for your help...
