    Hi, you can run BV if you are using a windows emulator for mac & there is free Voting software in fantastico in your c panel.

    Good luck.

        You asked if you can have a voting pole to use on your BV pages. Yes! As per instructions above.

          Re: voting poll

          Can anyone help!!!…I’m trying to download Vote-Pro and not having any luck. Below are the steps I’m taking:

          Vote-Pro Installation

          Step 1: I Logged into Cpanel

          Step 2: I clicked on Fantastico “Smiley Face”

          Step 3: I went down to Polls and Surveys and clicked on “Advanced Polls”

          Step 4: I then clicked on “New Installation”

          Step 5: I then named the Install Directory “Polling”

          Step 6: I then put in my admin user name and password:

          Install Advanced Poll (2/3)
          The MySQL database and MySQL user lvigewj_adpo1 will be created and used for this installation.
          - You chose to install in the domain jaxviews.com, in a subdirectory called polling.
          - The access URL will be: http://jaxviews.com/polling.

          Click on Finish installation to continue.

          Step 7: I then clicked "Finish Installation.
          Install Advanced Poll (3/3)
          /home/lvigewj/public_html/polling/include/config.inc.php configured
          /home/lvigewj/public_html/polling/data.sql configured


          Step: 8: I then clicked on "Visit Site" and this is what I get:

          Demo 1
          Demo 2
          Demo 3
          Demo 4
          Demo 5
          Demo 6


          <?php/* Include this before your html code */
          include
          "./poll_cookie.php";
          ?>

          <?php

          /* path */
          $poll_path = "/home/lvigewj/public_html/polling";
          require
          $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
          require
          $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
          require
          $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
          $CLASS["db"] = new polldb_sql;
          $CLASS["db"]->connect();

          $php_poll = new poll();

          /* the first poll */
          echo$php_poll->poll_process(1);


          /* the second poll */
          $php_poll->set_template_set("simple");
          $php_poll->set_max_bar_length(80);echo$php_poll->poll_process(2);


          /* the third poll */

          $php_poll->set_template_set("popup");if($php_poll->is_valid_poll_id(3)){ echo$php_poll->display_poll(3);}

          ?>

          Poll ID 1 does not exist.
          Poll ID 2 does not exist.



          Any help is greatly appreciated

                  Voda Host:

                  Is there a possibility of getting a Tutorial for downloading Polling software like the excellent one you have for Phbb?? I'm noticing many
                  folks are stuggling with getting this software running.

                  Thanks Gang!!

                    Re: voting poll

                    Thanks Lemmondr:)
                    I really feel quite lost here about all this, and glad too see also that its not just me:) There just arent any tuts on this. To be honest, I have given up by now. Given up asking. Cause Ive experiensed even som questions is getting deleted in here. Without any notification on why it happens. So to me now, the voting poll issue is out of my head.

                    To BlueVoda: I really like and enjoy your hosting and builder. But the support on theese things we ask about,arent so good unfortunally.
                    Sorry to say, but true.

                      Katrina,

                      I totally agree...I to have had threads deleted forum. This poll
                      software was going to be a key part of my webiste...and there is just
                      nobody stepping up and assiting in this area. I dont do not see why
                      BV can't develop a TUT for poll downloads...my last request go 30 views
                      but no suggestions...I to enjoy BV but I think this poll software is a
                      weak spot....maybe we'll get lucky one day and someone will help us
                      out...right now I'm moving on to other parts of my website build...please
                      let me know if you hear anything...and I will do the same...

                        Re: voting poll

                        What are you trying to install the polling feature onto?

                        Are you wanting to install it onto a website, or a page of a particular website? In the earlier installation information you posted, you installed it into a directory all by itself rather than onto a named foundation like a site or a board.....
                        Rather like the affiliate software, you install it onto an application, and the process is different for each type of application as well: installing a featured script onto a BV site is much different that inserting function into an HTML site!

                          Hey Vasili:

                          I thought since this software was coming from Fantastico that I would be putting it in my html site just like I did for my forum software www.jaxviews.com/forum and that it would be named www.jaxviews.com/polls I'm actually trying to even get votepro to load up. I would rather have the vote pro software but I am having a problem with step 3 trying to change attributes on the config php file...once I move it over to my html..it won't let me change it. And when I go to
                          www.jaxviews.com/votepro I get the following error:

                          Installation Instructions:

                          1. Extract file "votepro.zip"
                          2. Upload folder "votepro" to the root of your web site. (Your public_html directory)
                          3. Change atributes of file "config.php" in the folder"votepro" to "666" = "rw-rw-rw"
                          4. Go to http://your.site.com/votepro
                          5. Fill all fields with valid values.
                          6. Enjoy Vote! Pro 4.0

                            Try 755 rather than the default they suggest (we run Apache servers). The alternates are 770 and 775.

                            Honestly though? If you are running phpBB boards, you would be better off sourcing poll functions as an available MOD from them rather than try to plug in another utility......as the MOD's they list are proven compatible!
