Survey/Poll Fix!

Site Admin/Owner Joined: Aug 27, 2002 Posts: 17088

There have been many posts concerning the Survey block not working in 7.6 (and possibly other versions). I am making this replacement block available that Chatserv provided me (Thanks again Chat!) and it solved my problems. This may well work on other versions too. Note that depending on which Patch Level you are using, you may need to replace

Code:

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}

with

Code:

if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "block-Survey.php")) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}

Replacement Block

Code:

Multiple voting still can happen on my site. Is there a way to fix it besides the poll collector fix that uses the IP? I have some members that are from the same IP address, so once one votes, the other can't when I use the poll collector IP fix.

Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2006 6:40 pm

Just expand the fix to look at username along with IP

I pasted the code into the block file, and my donations block is still bleeding into the survey block.

What are the first 2 blocks active on the right?

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:40 pm

Well, thats my problem.......Its the survey block, but the donations block is also being displayed in it.

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:34 pm

is the donations block activated??

Thats what im asking, Is the first 2 blocks set to the right donations then surveys?

If not, then that means that the survey block has the code for donations built into the block, You dont want this.

If (all this is true){
paste the block code
}else{
correct me where wrong
}

Forgive me but I'm in a laughing mood and that just made me laugh.

ok that makes no sense.

Are you positive that you do not have something active above this block?

Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 12:16 am

lol........yes.

I searched the forums, and found that apparently other people are having this problem too.

And yes, I am 100% sure. Look.

http://www.clangoat.com
http://www.clangoat.com/rnuke
http://www.clangoat.com/pnc

3 different CMS's.
rnuke is the one having the block problem.

funny, try removing the $content variable from the globals.

WTF is funny?

I removed the variable, and it got rid of the problem.....but seriously.

Are you here to help, or be a smart elic? Why is that variable in this post, which is supposed to be the fix.....if the variable is not supposed to be there?

As you can see, its apparently a common problem.

I think darklord meant funny (thats peculiar) not funny (hahaha), perhaps you should keep that in mind when using forums with multiple nationalities, language and try not to read a 'tone'.
I have done it myself many times.

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 3:28 pm

Ahh, understood, my apologies.

Thx for your response.

Also, has anyone else noticed the bug when you run IPN Reconsile?
The script seems to run right, but the table is cutoff at the bottom once you run it.

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 6:13 pm

Just to respond, I did mean peculiar and I asked you to remove that from the globals because I believed it was calling content from another block and causing your error, It was a shot in the dark and I had not seen it before myself.

My apologies if I was misunderstood but I had no intension of giving you the idea I was laughing, It actually had me baffled for a minute but now that you have verified my thinking, Thank you.

To answer your question, $content is a variable blocks use to varify there is something within the block, It is in almost ALL blocks and therefore globalizing it may cause it to "merge" 2 blocks. I stated that with a theory, I was not positive of the outcome of my sudjested fix.

Thank you for verifying that and now, Glad to see you are up and running correctly.

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 6:36 pm

ahh, nicely put.
Thx dude.

Just to expound upon the "knowledge base" here, I want to mention that every block needs to initialize the $content variable right up front! Either the first "assignment" needs to be of the form:

$content = "whatever first sting is being set";

(i.e., NOT $content .= ) <- see the "."?

or, it needs to be:

$content = '';

or

$content = "";

That is the only proper way of starting off each block "on the right track" so to speak and to ensure that NO prior string in the $content variable carries forward into another block.

Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2006 12:00 pm

but $content SHOULD NOT be in the globals right?

Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2006 12:28 pm

Does not matter if it is used properly as I have mentioned in the previous post.

Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2006 9:06 pm

Ahh true. $content will be redeclared if used properly like montego stated.

if ($pollID == 0 || empty($pollID)) {
$content = "";

Id almost bet that is the root of the problem.
