Simply Poll not displaying resultss

I’m back online and working on the plugin.

I noticed that I’ve not done some of the file locations correctly so I’m now working on getting all those correctly done. I’m working on a local setup that’s running a multisite with sub-folders so I should get this right but I’ll do a setup where it’s a single WP in a sub-folder; so trying to cover all angles here!

Sounds great! Just drop a line when you would like me to test ??

Just checking in to see when you’d like me to retest the poll.

Not yet, just been caught up with a few other bits. On the job at the moment though. Thanks ??

So to give an overview of what I’ve been doing and why it’s taking it’s time.

I use a script to pull in the WordPress functions and settings so that external files can use them. The script is

$wpRoot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

	if (file_exists($wpRoot.'/wp-load.php'))
		require_once($wpRoot.'/wp-load.php');
	else
		require_once($wpRoot.'/wp-config.php');

The issue is that it doesn’t work so well when it comes to multi-site installs as it loses the settings for a particular site; so the database prefixes and folder/domain names resolve back to the main domain.

I’m wondering if anybody knows of any other way to grab the WP functions and settings for external files that will work for a multi-site setup?

Apparently this is a bad way of doing it, so I’m currently looking at 5 tips for using AJAX in WordPress to understand how to include the file correctly.

Right, it’s working for me locally!

Let me just tidy up a few things and I’ll get an beta to you to have a got with.

Side note; I’m glad you brought this up as it’s taught me a different way of handling the data. It’s actually working a lot more effectively for javascript users now, but I need to test for none-javascript users as well.

Awesome, can’t wait to give it a shot! I’m just glad I could have helped!

Here we go dude, a beta copy of Simply Poll 1.4

Ok I’ve got it up on the site. It’s not displaying the poll results once submitted still. I’m wondering if something is not configured properly on my server if it’s working fine for you.

Okay, just to make things easier I’ve updated the code slightly but also added a logger to make debugging easier.

When you’ve tested it and it’s failed again simply post the log file on here (it’s safe, it doesn’t store any personal details, only poll IDs and what’s been accessed and when). you can switch off the logger by setting the value in config.php from
define('SP_DEBUG', true);
to
define('SP_DEBUG', false);

Cheers for still helping, I know I must be a pain!

Morning! I’ll give that a shot. It’s not a pain at all to help out! We’re getting somewhere ??

Awesome, that’s great.

So from the looks of this you are recording the answer but the script doesn’t know what results to pull.

11:41:59/12.07.11 - spResults()
11:41:59/12.07.11 - $_POST - Array
    (
        [action] => spAjaxResults
    )

This part is missing the value [pollid] => 2.

I’ll have a look into this and see why that would happen. Thanks for that!

My thoughts exactly about posting but not knowing what to do with it. Don’t know enough about ajax but from my asp days, it makes perfect sense, if it’s missing the ID value. Glad to help!! It’s not a pain at all!
