Installation
Upload
all files to your server.
Set permission of your data directory to 777.
Run setup.php. It installs
the table which we will need and creates some files.
Go to the admin area
(both username and password are "admin1"), to "configuration"
and enter a value to each field.
Now you can create a poll and check if all works
fine. The poll may be added to any page by inserting
<script
language=javascript src="http://www.yourdomain.com/folder_where_the_script_live/poll.php"></script>
to the place where the poll should be viewable.
Each visitor voting in
the poll gets a cookie so nobody will be able to vote again in the same poll.
Customization
The
poll table is based on file
template.txt which may be found in the data directory. This is a file with
common HTML tags and may be edited
in your favorite text editor. If you will edit it, make sure to don't remove
special tags which are used to insert variables. These tags look like #%someword%#.
Below is a list of those variables which may be used.
#%question%# |
The question of the poll |
#%a1%# |
Clickable answers 1-5 |
#%votes%# |
Total votes in the poll |
