2 errors i receive using the survey

I upgraded from a previous version. I’ll try out your fix.

Word of advice, if you download from GitHub you will have to rename the directory to wp-survey-and-quiz-tool or the javascript doesn’t work.

Also, if nothing is working then deactivate then reactivate. Occasionally it doesn’t create the tables on install.

ok initially it had issues

but then after a further deactivate then reactivate it WORKS!

There is a constant reminder in red “An upgrade is required. Click here to proceed to upgrade.”

But i guess that any easy fix

Great News Ollie, any good for you astechsolutions?

Brilliant. Stupid question but have you actually tried to do the upgrade it asks for? Should only make sure that the tables are correct.

Ollie

I didnt on this new version – just in case – but i will now try it

Yes updated – still works a dream

This is the real deal! Best Survey Quiz Plugin for WordPress by a mile!

Brilliant, knew I would get there! Haha.

Any other issues please report them and I will get onto fixing as soon as I can.

Hi Ollie,

great job with the plugin. Have been trying to make it work from yesterday and thanx good I have found this thread. Your new 2.5.4 upgrade is working fine now. I only have one issue. I am using characters like “?????yáí” and those are being replaced everytime I edit my question or anything and after that they are not readable. I found out, that this is caused by htmlentities() functions. I had to insert two options at the end so the functions looks like this: htmlentities(stripslashes($option[“value”]), ENT_COMPAT, ‘utf-8’). I guess that this way we are forcing UTF-8 encoding and that probably wont work for everyone, but is there a way to make it optional. You could make it like this: htmlentities(stripslashes($option[“value”]), ENT_COMPAT, DB_CHARSET) — which is wordpress database installation encoding.

Or if you have a better solution please let me know. I just dont want to constantly overwrite your files after upgrade.

Stefan

Yes thats possible. I recently changed the database collate to UTF8 so it could support international characters but I must have overlooked that htmlentities uses ISO-8859 by default. Will look at changing them all and releasing this in the next update.

Cheers,
Ollie

That would be awesome. You rock.

Also one more thing. I would the functionality to pull poll results right after submission with AJAX. Maybe adding

add_action('wp_ajax_POLL_RESULT_FUNCTION', 'POLL_RESULT_FUNCTION');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_POLL_RESULT_FUNCTION', 'POLL_RESULT_FUNCTION');

would do the trick without a big code change.

Let me know. Thanx.
Stefan

I had to uninstall and lose all my 3 quizzes ??

But the results are saved just fine now ??
I’ve taken a backup of the db before I uninstalled the plugin from the wpsqt backend – is there a way I can import questions results and answers from the backup?

Been looking at doing this for a while but I’m crap with AJAX/JS etc.. If that works you are an absolute star.

Ollie

Astech, the backup should give you one file. If you go into PHPMyAdmin and just import it, everything should work fine.

Ollie

Hey Ollie, if it wont work for the first time try to do it this way:

1) I guess you have an existing function and lets call it POLL_RESULTS() .. in my case, I could not connect AJAX directly to this function so I had to create a functions called AJAX_POLL_RESULTS() and it looked like this:

function ajax_poll_results(){
 die( poll_results() );
}

2) Now you can create the ajax hooks like this:

add_action('wp_ajax_ajax_poll', 'ajax_poll_results');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_poll', 'ajax_poll_results');

Where ajax_poll in the ajax hook is the parameter, that needs to in AJAX call when called from the template. So now, the ajax call needs to look like this:

$('#poll-submit').click(function() {
	jQuery.post(
		'<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
		{ 'action':'ajax_poll' }, // this is the action name
		function(response){
			$('#poll-holder').html( response );
		}
	);
	return false;
});

Hope this helps .. I have spent few hours until I got this clear the last time I tried to convert one of my WP functions into ajax.

If I can help with anything just let me know.

Thanx.
Stefan
