Topic: Percentage bars in poll blocks

[LP]

Hello,

I am using Simple Portal 2.3.1 with SMF 2 RC1.2.

I noticed in the release announcement for SP 2.2.2 that SiNaN said:

Poll blocks now has their percentage bars back

Has this feature been removed since then?  Percentage bars do not show on my forum's poll blocks.

Thanks!

The block's template has been rewritten, in the process the percentage bars have been removed and replaced with the percentage in brackets, like (100%).

I could post an edit if you want to put them back?

If it is not too much to ask, that would be great.  The bars are a simpler way to communicate the results, only requiring a glance at the poll.  Ideally I would show both the bar and the percentage, but don't worry about that I will figure it out from whatever you post.  Well, ideally you would have the choices of bars, percentages, or both in the block setup.  That is, I know, definitely too much to ask

Moved to the Themes and Graphics board.

It doesn't look like SP 2.2.2 even had percentage bars. Although I can still post some edits, which exact version of SMF are you using SMF2 RC1.2 or SMF2 RC2? The edit will be different depending on which version.

I was just going off of what I read in the release announcement for 2.2.2, I have never actually seen it in action.

To confirm, I am running SP 2.3.1 on SMF 2 RC1.2.

Thanks!

Code: ("Find (Sources/PortalBlocks.php)") [Select]

foreach ($poll['options'] as $option)
echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' ', $option['option'], '</li>
<li class="sp_list_indent"><strong>', $option['votes'], '</strong> (', $option['percent'], '%)</li>';

Code: ("Replace") [Select]

global $settings;
foreach ($poll['options'] as $option)
echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' ', $option['option'], '</li>
<li class="sp_list_indent"><strong>', $option['votes'], '</strong> (', $option['percent'], '%)</li>
<li><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/bar.gif" width="', $option['percent'], '%" height="15" alt="" /></li>';

Thank you so much.  I will give this a try tomorrow.


BTW- Congrats on finishing your finals.

Poll template will probably a need a re-write to add that for 2.0 RC3, since they removed bar.gif and changed the way bars was used.

Also, we would most likely to miss your requests if you are posting in a solved topic. Because solved topics don't appear in our support topics list. I suggest that you create a new topic so that I won't forget it.
