[Snippet/Module] EasyPoll 0.3, released!

K.. Done with the translation. Please include the translation in the original package and pm me so I can remove the translation zipfile from my server again.

http://support.nrbcc.nl/EasyPoll_dutch.zip Translation is now integrated in the main package.

Hmm.. just tried installing and run the module on 0.9.6.1 but the screen blanks.
Eventlog tells me: syntax error, unexpected ’<’

Wow, that was quick. Thanks a lot peterruiter!
I downloaded and integrated your translation, you may now delete it from your server.
The upgraded package is online EasyPoll_0.2.1.zip

Concerning you error: Make sure you remove <?php at the beginning and ?> at the end from the module code!

Ah... my bad. I thought you meant remove the extra (allready in there) php tags so you won’t get them in there twice.

I removed the tags and it works like a charm.. Dubble thumbs up.

There seems to be some conflict issues when used with MaxiGallery on the same page.
Instead of results showing the whole page is loaded into the place the results should be in.

The problem seems to relate to the javascript library Maxigallery uses when the embedtype is set to "slimbox" or "lightboxv2".

Umm. I had the same problem, because i initially used another version of mootools. This behavior occurs when the parameters aren’t correctly sent with the AJAX Request.
I just had a look at maxigallery and it seems like it comes with various bundled JS libraries... This could cause lots of problems, especially if prototype and mootools are being used side by side or with other mootools bundles. Maybe you should try calling it with the parameter: &disable_js_libs=`1`
This was one of the main reasons i put most of the JS code into an external file in release 0.2. That way somebody could change the file (script/EasyPollAjax.js) to make it work with prototype or any other JavaScript library.
I’ll try to separate snippet and JS even more in the next release, so that porting the snippet to another JS lib can be done by only altering the mentioned file. Additionally i will add a parameter that will allow you to run the Snippet without the whole AJAX functionality (which it does already, but only if you disable JavaScript in your Browser).

Hope that helps and thanks for testing

While trying to figure out what the problem was causing I switched to MaxiGallery slimbox and disabled some other functionality on my website.
Turns out that Maxigallery’s slimbox can co-exist with EasyPoll, but when there is also a SWFobject.js loaded the whole thing breaks.

SWFobject.js is used to get rid of that annoying "Click to activate..." for flash elements in Internet Explorer.
grr.. I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

Thats really odd. I’m using SWFObject frequently myself and i can’t imagine that this would cause any interference.
I just checked it: downloaded swfobject, included it into modx site with a poll. Works fine.
Do you get any errors in Firebug?

Thats just the weird thing.. In firefox everything works fine. In Internet Explorer everything breaks...

I just updated my swfobject file to version 2.0 (I had 1.5 running).
Now the EasyPoll works great, but my movie has a few problems with missing variables. Anyway, thats not your problem

EasyPoll seems to be coming along nicely - congrats Banal!

I’ve attached a slightly modified version of the English lang file, with some small corrections and (what I consider to be) some improved wording - feel free to use this if you like.
