QUESTION : POLL FOR LEFT & RIGHT COLUMN

[ixl]

Hi.

1, I just wondered what is the reason why the Poll ( Vote ) cannot be used in the left or right columns. Can anyone please advise? These would be great and were working in the 2.0.0b version but not in the final latest release.

2, Some theme Polls look really awful in the centre middle column because the vote poll result bars are not the full width of the column, so it looks quite strange. So I wondered what can we do to fix the votes to work in the left and right columns. I use Acid Tech, and they look like this image below. Can anyone help advise what I can change to make the bars longer to match the column width properly like they do in subsilver or pro silver?

I was just looking for the same as I would really like to put the poll in one of the side blocks.
I know how to work the older template but not this one (I love this! Don't get me wrong)

If I find out, I'll let you know.

I think the polls on the sides would just look so much better.

I would not recommend the survey block on the edge, because too little space!
You can here:
search in root/portal/modules/portal_poll.php

Code: Select all

	public $columns = 21;

replace:

Code: Select all

	public $columns = 31;

Take it for prosilver and subsilver2 the same poll_side.html
search in root/styles/subsilver2/template/portal/modules/poll_side.html
remove:

Code: Select all

<td dir="ltr" style="text-align: left; white-space: nowrap">{POLL_LEFT_CAP_IMG}{poll_side.poll_option.POLL_OPTION_IMG}{POLL_RIGHT_CAP_IMG}</td>

Unfortunately I have no better solution.
search in root/styles/subsilver2/template/portal/modules/poll_center.html

Code: Select all

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">

replace:

Code: Select all

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" width="100%">

Hi Archivar

Hope you are well

(The poll across mid portal with the red stripes is not pretty)

You can change this in for prosilver root/styles/prosilver/theme/colours.css.
Search "poll" and experiment with the color code.

Didn't get around to do it before now and it works perfect.
Thank you

After applying the given code, the center POLL will be disabled or not? I want to put a left/right POLL and a center poll. Please guide me.
