Can't see the poll. Which Url is correct for the settings line? This one http://bla/index.php?showtopic=1 ?

No, it's not working that, only in friendly url version, unfortunately. I've just cheked it on my forum.

Can't make it display as well. Sidebar block just doesn't show up, however I set full topic URL.

I've updated the hook file with a fix, you'll need to re-import the hook file again to update.

Now it works, thank you.

I'd also suggest you to make this block better looking. Now you have a block inside block which looks a bit ugly. Would be great if you got rid on inner frame which surrounds the poll.

[Shrimpkid]

Is there copyright removal for this?

Most of the look is just pulled from the poll function, so unless I recreate the whole function it can be changed easily. You can however remove the outside box. Open Admin CP > Look & Feel Tab > select skin > Board Index > sidebarPollWrapper.

Replace the contents of the template bit with the follow then Save.

{parse js_module="topic"}
{$pollContents}

Well, this way it just removes sidebar block wrapping, that's all. Still looks ugly, to be honest.
And my point was to have a more conventional poll view inside the standard side block.

Anyway, if you're planning to develop your hook any further, would be great to have more options for it. Maybe it's indeed wiser to have your own poll template, so we could change it. Right now I can't even change a poll template for the sidebar, because it's pulled from poll function :-(

Clicking to view who voted for what on public polls does not work. D:

Could you clarify what you mean, do you get any error? An example I can look at ?

[Shrimpkid]

Well this is what I want to see.


But when I click on it below


I just get taken to the top of the index.

[Monkeyman]

Actually, I must say, that this is a very, very useful hook, but it definitely needs a fine tuning.
Michael, I hope, you'll find some time to improve it.

[Makaaveli]

There's only one bug and shrimpkids mentioned it.

For public polls it doesn't let you view who voted, it just takes you to the top of the board when you try to click it.

Please can you fix this :S

[MichaelJohn]

Regarding the public poll problem, try this edit and let me know how it goes.

Open Admin CP > Look & Feel Tab > select skin > Board Index > sidebarPollWrapper.

Find:

{parse js_module="topic"}

Replace With:

<script type='text/javascript' src='{$this->settings['board_url']}/public/js/ips.topic.js'></script>

Save.

[Shrimpkid]

Looks like it worked. (:

[Makaaveli]

Do I need to do that for every skin? Or can i re-import the hook (would be alot quicker)?

Yes or you could apply the file edit to the hook.xml file and re-import it.
