Modules: XoopsPoll 1.3 released

Posted by: MazarinOn 2010/1/17 14:20:00 11665 reads

XoopsPoll is the classic XOOPS module for putting polls on your website or in your forum threads. This version is a small update to the 1.2 version of XoopsPoll which increases compatibility and introduces some minor, new features.

Changes include:
- Improved block, showing results after voting
- Allow/prohibit anonymous voting by poll
- Updated/fixed logic for checking if a user has voted
- Full compatibility with PHP5, MySQL5, and XOOPS 2.4.x

Install: Uninstall your old version of XoopsPoll and make a fresh install of the new version. There has been database changes, so an update won't work.

Credits: Thanks to titiou36 for the MySQL update and burning for the module logo.

Excellent, a much-needed update to a classic module

Shame about having to uninstall, but a price worth paying IMHO.

Very many thanks

I guess you could look at the SQL in the module and update your existing tables yourself with the relevant structural changes if you really, really want to keep your old polls, but unfortunately I haven't had time to include that kind of SQL script in this release.

I very much appreciate the work that you put in to update this classic module and do not mean this to be disrespectful.

Why call your module xoopspoll instead of just poll?

I have used XOOPS on my website for the last five years. Something that limits the professionalism of XOOPS is the need for developers to use unnecessary names in their modules that look funny to users as well as search engines (wfchannel, newbb, wfdownloads).

While it is possible to hack the php and use htaccess it is not an optimal strategy and makes updates very diffficult. Credit for developers can still be embeded in the PHP files.

GIJOE remains far ahead of the curve with his D3 design for modules which gives webmasters to rename the modules for SEO as well as consistency throughout the site.

I would beg that XOOPS designers start using real words to describe their modules and to help XOOPS evolve.

Thanks for updating the module... I will use it on my site but this issue has been bothering me for some time.

Having unique names is good as we don't overwrite module A with module B, just because they have the same name.

I totally agree on that. I wish that every new module for XOOPS would come with "renaming" feature built-in, so the user can decide what name they want to use

And a BIG Thank You to Mazarin for updating this module!!!!

It is a good practice for current module developers.
But not necessarily important since it will be taken care by XOOPS core in X3.

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?start=0&topic_id=62091&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0

As we've stated in our Annual Report on page 26:

Quote:

XOOPS 3.0 is still being developed Dr. Taiwen Jiang
(phppp), and we hope to have the Alpha release in the first half of 2010. Since it focuses on a new architecture for XOOPS, it takes longer than a normal release.

Since 3.0 is still in experimental stage, the features are still fluid and in development, and can change, therefore it's impossible to list them right now as they might not make it into first releases, and then people would be disappointed.

While phppp is focusing on 3.0, our Core team is working on 2.5, and we should have the first official Alpha very soon

But this is about XoopsPoll 1.3, so let's go back to it and we'll discuss 3.0 on the Forums, when we get closer to the Alpha release, OK?

@sabahan:

1. Isn't Umfrage just the German version of XoopsPoll? What exactly are you requesting here?

2. Having total no. of comments shown in the block might not be a bad idea, but what it really suggested for me was the need for a link to actually post comments shown in the block. For my sites, the block is the main UI of the module towards the end users and since you have to go to the page of the actual poll to post comments, I hardly ever get any comments posted on my polls

I will soon have my hands full with building a new site, but I'll se if I'll have time to incorporate these changes and a few others I've thought of during the day and release 1.31 before that.

@sabahan:

OK, some useful stuff there in Umfrage. I won't have time to implement blind polls, but the cleanup and removal of unnecessary buttons etc should be doable.

I'll try to include these things in the next release, but given my current schedule it will probably be another few months before that

Maybe someone else beats me to it?

I will also try to include updates for CBB and X-Forum in that release, since they actually use their own interface to the XoopsPoll module (i.e. now you won't get the "allow anonymous voting" option when adding a poll to a topic).

Module upgrade:

1. upload module files to server
2. update module via "module manager"
3. run "PhpMyAdmin" and modify database:

 ALTER TABLE `YOURPREFIX_xoopspoll_desc` ADD `anonymous` TINYINT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `multiple` ;

4. use module

That´s all

Tested on XOOPS 2.4.4 and XOOPS Poll 1.1
