A minor bug, a not so minor bug, and a feature request.

First of I was wondering if it was possible to have a "show results" button in the sidebar poll plugin alongside or below the "go" button. it would be nice to be able to view the results without having to vote in the poll.

This brings me to the minor bug. When voting in the poll the results shown do not include the vote you just cast, i.e. if there are already 2 votes for option 1 and you vote for option 1, the results shown after you vote show only 2 votes.

On to the not so minor bug, at least I think it's a bug, I'm not sure. Before the static page plugin let you organize your pages in any order you want I made an HTML nugget on my sidebar for static page navigation. Now that I can rearrange the order in which the pages are shown, I wanted to use the static page sidebar plugin for navigation because I like the tree structure style. However, after installing the sidebar plugin and turning the tree structure on I found that the only visible static page is the frontpage link. The rest of the pages are there in the tree structure, they just aren't visible, also the little icons to expand and contract the tree structure are not visible, they show up as boxes only.

Thanks for any help any of you have.

The URL to my site is http://www.theripper.com/, the static page sidebar plugin is at the bottom of the right sidebar.

p.s. Also is there any way to stop people from voting more than once in a poll, I seem to remember seeing something about this once, but I forget where.[/url]

Oh, I thought the voting plugin already had the "show results" option.

Which version are you using? And are you using the event plugin as well as the sidebar plugin?

About the staticpage thing it would be wise to have a seperate thread for different things in the future. Makes it easier to pay attention ;) I'll forward this question to Falk, maybe he knows the answer :)

I don't know anything about the vote plugin, so I'll look at the static page links.

Viewing your source, I see that everything has links. The frontpage link is a little different; it's the only one with only two parameters. The open-and-close images look wrong, but they seem to work.

I originally thought your dtree script might be unsupported. But since the branches open and close, I don't think that's it. (Although there's always the chance of an out-of-date problem. Checked SPARTACUS lately?)

In the source, I can see you're configured to not use icons (which explains the ugly open-and-close images).

I installed the plugin for myself, for testing. Turns out the empty strings you've got at the beginnings of your Javascript lines are supposed to hold the article's "Headline". So I'm betting your static pages are configured with a "URL shorthand", but no "Headline". If so, you should be able to edit them and add a headline to each.

Good Luck!

Garvin,

I have both the sidebar and event plugins installed for the polls, and both are up to date according to spartacus, there is no show results button that i can see.

Judebert,

I never would have figured out that it's supposed to be headlines, you're right none of the pages have one, i shall fix that.

as far as spartacus goes, i'm up to date on all the plugins i'm using, just checked.

as for the images, i guess i'll just have to fiddle with them until i have some images i like, or not use any at all.

Sorry for this late answer, but judebert have answered the question. And the icons: I think this is a problem because you are not using mod_rewrite. I have a look and hope to fix it soon.
