[Plugin: WP-Polls] Voting on the archive page

Nope, the archive page is just for display the results of the poll. The reason you can’t vote is because it will generate a lot of queries on that page if I allow people to vote.

I don’t think there is anyone who did that yet because it requires quite a bit of coding.

Thanks for you quick reply
I have done this functionality by adding a function to my functions.php.

I know it may not be robust solution but it can save someone time, below is the function code

public youfunction ($args=array()){

      // display polls forcefully as poll archive page not allow voting
      global $wpdb;
      $output = "";
      extract($args,EXTR_OVERWRITE);
      $offset = isset($offset) && is_numeric($offset) ? $offset : 0;
      if (function_exists('vote_poll') && !in_pollarchive()):;
        $polls_perpage = intval(get_option('poll_archive_perpage'));
        $polls_type = intval(get_option('poll_archive_displaypoll'));
        $polls_type_sql = '';
        // Determine What Type Of Polls To Show
        switch($polls_type) {
          case 1:
            $polls_type_sql = 'AND pollq_active = 0';
            break;
          case 2:
            $polls_type_sql = 'AND pollq_active = 1';
            break;
          case 3:
            $polls_type_sql = 'AND pollq_active IN (0,1)';
            break;
        }
        $post__not_in = isset($post__not_in) && !empty($post__not_in) ? 'AND pollq_id NOT IN('.$post__not_in.')' : '';
        $total_polls = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(pollq_id) FROM $wpdb->pollsq WHERE 1 $polls_type_sql AND pollq_active != -1");
        $questions = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT pollq_id FROM $wpdb->pollsq WHERE 1 $polls_type_sql $post__not_in ORDER BY pollq_id DESC LIMIT $offset, $polls_perpage");
        if($questions) {
          foreach($questions as $question) {
            ob_start();
            get_poll($question->pollq_id);
            $output .= ob_get_contents();
            ob_end_clean();
          }
          if($total_polls > $polls_perpage):
            // ajax load more button
          endif;
        }else{
          // NO POLL FOUND
        }
      endif;
      return $output;
  }

You can adjust this function according to your own requirement
of-course i have extract this code from plugin and re arrange it.

Thanks.

Hi msameerbutt,

Any chance you can reply with a short & simple guide (for a php newbie like me) on how to get this functionality? Where EXACTLY do I put the code? What’s the file name? (functions.php? which one?, line etc.

Please, please, please. I’ve been trying to do this for ages.

Thanks in adavance!

Sorry for late reply, this not simple but you can give it a try

1) copy this function to your function.php
2) paste this code <?php echo(youfunction ());?> where you want to display the polls

Thanks
