yop_poll_archive doesn’t display titles

Hello

Thank you for your feedback.

Can you also list other sorting options beside date added?
Also, I am not sure about exerpt=yes. Can you give us more details?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

sorry i haven’t gotten back to u on this;i would like to be able to list just the poll title in date order, with a link to the poll results.

i c u have added options to yop_poll_archive; is there any documentation?

found this:
[yop_poll_archive max=0 sort=”date_added|num_votes” sort_dir=”asc|desc”]
max works, but date sorting doesn’t:-\

and still no title, just results.

u need to conform ur readme to your code:

switch ( $params[‘sortdir’] ) {

this is what i want:

public function generate_polls_for_archive( $params ) 
{
   $order_by = 'ORDER BY ';
   switch ( $params['sort']) 
   {
      case 'num_votes': {
         $order_by .= "<code>total_submits</code>";
         break;
      }
      default: {
         $order_by .= "<code>added_date</code>";
         break;
      }
   }
   switch ( $params['sortdir'] ) 
   {
      case 'desc': {
         $order_by .= " DESC";
         break;
      }
      default: {
         $order_by .= " ASC";
         break;
      }
   }

   $query = "SELECT <code>id</code>, <code>name</code>, <code>added_date</code> 
               FROM <code>{$GLOBALS['wpdb']->yop_poll_polls}</code> 
               WHERE <code>status</code> != 'deleted' {$order_by}";
   if ( 0 !== $params['max'] ) 
   {
      $query = $GLOBALS['wpdb']->prepare(
                  $query . " LIMIT %d",
                  $params['max'] );
   }

   $polls = $GLOBALS['wpdb']->get_results( $query, ARRAY_A );
   $content = '';
   if ( count( $polls ) > 0 ) 
   {
     foreach ( $polls as $poll ) 
     {
       $content .= "<div><a href=#poll-" . $poll['id'] 
       . ' onclick="return showPoll(\'poll-' . $poll['id'] . '\');">'
       . "<h3>" . $poll['name'] . "</h3></a>"
       . $poll['added_date'];
       $poll_params = array(
          'id' => $poll['id'],
          'results' => 0,
          'tracking_id' => '',
          'show_results' => '' );
       $content .= "<div id=poll-" . $poll['id'] . ' style="display:none;" >'
                       .  $this->generate_poll( $poll_params )
                       . "</div></div>";
     }
   }
   $content .= '<script type="text/javascript">
var currentInfo = null;
function showPoll(id)
{
   if(currentInfo != null)
   {
      currentInfo.style.display = "none";
   }
   if(id != null)
   {
      ci = document.getElementById(id);
      if(currentInfo == ci)
      {
         currentInfo = null;
      } else {
         currentInfo = ci;
         currentInfo.style.display = "block";
      }
      return true;
   }
   return false;
}
</script>';

   return $content;
}

Hello

Thank you for your feedback.

A couple of questions …

exerpt=yes

Is this one referring to displaying/hiding the title/name of the poll?

Since polls can have different status and settings, what would be the best way to display polls with this shortcode?

For example …
– one poll has an end date and is closed for voting.
Should it display the results (assuming it’s set to display results after end date).
Or it should display the poll as is?

– one poll has results displayed before vote.
Should it be displayed as is?
Or it should be displayed without results?

Finally, should votes be allowed when polls are displayed with this shortcode?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

exerpt= was just an idea, taken from the [display-posts] shortcode; not the name/title display but rather the results.

perhaps there could be additional params for specifying status (show=[all|open|closed]) or whether to show results=[yes|no] or allow votes=[yes|no], but those would require delving further into your d/b…i’m happy with what i’ve got, thanx;-)

hi, i c u just pushed out v6.2.7, but neglected to update ur readme; it shd read:

List with all polls: [yop_poll_archive max=0 sort=”date_added|num_votes” sortdir=”asc|desc”]

and i’ve re-added my title/display patch as v6.2.7.1

another useful thing would be the ability to link to any page or post that contains a poll…gonna look into the sql query needed for that…sorry i don’t do svn, let me know where i can send my code…

ah, just wp_query(s=>’yop_poll’)
easypeasy, don’t need yop_poll_archive

// usage in post\page: [findshortcode tgt='myshortcode']

function wpc_find_shortcode($atts, $content=null) 
{
	ob_start();
	extract( shortcode_atts( 
				array('tgt' => ''), 
				$atts ) );
	
	$shortcode2find = $atts['tgt'];
	
	$args = array('s' => $shortcode2find, // maybe prepend '['
		      'nopaging' => true);
	
	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	
	if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) 
	{
	    echo '<ul>';
		while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) 
		{
			$the_query->the_post();
			echo "<li><a href='" . get_permalink() . "'><h2>" . get_the_title() . "</h2></a></li>";
		}
	    echo '</ul>';
	} 
	else 
	    echo "Sorry no posts found for " . $shortcode2find; 

	wp_reset_postdata();
	return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('findshortcode', 'wpc_find_shortcode');
