Hi

I am manually importing the "Poll" functionality to my site. However, this is not working very well. But first what I have done:

Created an Poll content class
Copied the poll templates and set up the correct override settings
Copied the news:"collect.ini" settings file to my own design settings folder

The poll is sort of working now. However,

Everybody can vote as many time as they want (Anonymous also)
UPDATE: This has been solved, I edited my collect.ini file in the settings: CollectionUserData=unique instead of default mulitple. However, I would still like to for instance allow forms from mulitple anonymous users.

Each time anyone votes I get an email! This is probably due to my site.ini setting:
[email protected]. Which is there due to that in the future I might be making forms for various students to sign up for various courses. So basically I want to have some information collectors using email and allowing data from anonymous, and some which is not using email. Is that possible?

Cheers
Tore

Hi,

Answers to part of your question.

To disable email sending change [EmailSettings] in collect.ini.append as following:
[EmailSettings]
SendEmail=disabled

Add and change following settings to suit your needs in collect.ini.append:
[CollectionSettings]
CollectAnonymousDataList[Poll]=disabled/enabled
CollectionUserData=multiple/unique/overwrite

I can't find content_object in poll_result.tpl, could you post your poll_result.tpl?

Hi

Thanks for the help, seems as I was a bit fast on the post a forum message, totally forgot about settings, only looked at the actual template code. Everything works fine now, except that I still get the:

"Unknown template variable 'content_object' in namespace ''"

Which is strange since I have simply copied and pasted the template code from the EZ pre installed site designs.

The line generating the error is this (the one in the middle):
12: {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.option}
13: {section name=ContentAction loop=$node.object.content_action_list show=$content_object.content_action_list}
14: <input class="button" type="submit" name="{$ContentAction:item.action}" value="Vote" />

content_object is not defined anywhere before line 13.
Cheers
Tore

Hi,

There is something wrong with the template. Change $content_object to $node.object.
