Other option issue

Hi wolfang8,

Edit your poll and in Answers Advanced Options set “Add the values submitted in “Other” as answers:” to No and save.

Let us know if you need more help.

Thanks for reply. I have a question. I applied what you mentioned and other answer did not work anymore. Then it means “Other Anwer Option” is useless (I am sorry, but it’s not offensive. I am just confused). Correct? Or do you have plan to fix it in next update?

Hey wolfang8,

Sorry, we thing we misunderstood your request. If you want to prevent duplicate answers in “Other” from being added to the list please make these changes: edit yop_poll_model and in register_vote function, specifically in

if ( '' != strip_tags( trim( $request['yop_poll_other_answer'] ) ) ){

add

$ans = self::yop_poll_get_answer_from_db($poll_id);
                                                           foreach($ans as $a){

                                                               if(strtoupper (strip_tags( $request['yop_poll_other_answer'] ))==strtoupper( $a['answer'])) {
                                                                   $this->error = __( 'the error message you want!', 'yop_poll' );
                                                                   return false;
                                                               }

Next, in the same file, yop_poll_model add

public function yop_poll_get_answer_from_db($id) {
            global $wpdb;
            $answer = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "
     SELECT *
     FROM " . $wpdb->yop_poll_answers . "
     WHERE poll_id = %d
     ",$id ), ARRAY_A );
            return $answer;

        }

Should the codes go in the plugin edit option? Sorry, I am a beginner of codes.

Hey wolfang8,

From your WordPress menu, go to Installed Plugins, locate YOP Poll plugin and click on Edit.

Once you do that, on the right hand side you will see a list of Plugin Files. Find yop-poll/inc/yop_poll_model.php and click on it then follow the instructions we provided in our previous reply.

If you still have difficulties please email us at yop.help{at]gmail.com with your wp login and we will make the necessary changes.

Best wishes,
