Make sure you uploaded all the images and specified the location of the images folder in the Admin Panel under General Settings I had the same problem modify it there to what it should be. Eg. poll/images

Its not exactly difficult if you had looked a little harder.

I've got the same issue. I have everything working good except the bar for the images.

I took the suggestions of the image directory in the admin section general settings.

Actual Dir:
www.(myserver).com/poll/image

I have tried:

/poll/image
poll/image
/poll/image/
poll/image/

Also:

http://www.(myserver).com/poll/image

Same result with both.

I even tried using absolute server path:

/www/a/(myname)/htdocs/poll/image

nothing still

I checked the SRC of the output HTML and it shows:

<img src="/poll/image/blank.gif" width="50" height="10"> 75.0%</font></td>

blank.gif

Of course all the gif files are there. /poll/image

anything else that could be the cause? any other way to notate the dir?

When i change it to a bogus DIR:

/blah/blah

All my Admin Icons get broken Image links.

I refresh like crazy too.....

Hmmmm...

It took me a while to spot it, but on each pol you need to select *which colour* bar you will use. Sounds mad, but if you don't then it shows nothing!

Its not mad at all. If you don't specify a colour then how will it know which image to use for the bars and if it doesn't know it WILL show nothing.

I believe you set the colours when making the poll.

i did select colors for my bars, and i checked the image directory location in the admin section under general settings (and verified by typing the image location in a browser)....but my bars still aren't showing up.

i see in the template for result_loop:
img src="$pollvars[base_gif]/$poll_color.gif"
so i think resolving these variables will help determine why the bars aren't showing up, but I'm not sure how to resolve these variables.

anyone know?

Look at the HTML of the results to see what it is currently pointing at to give you an idea of what to change.

thanks, carbonize. the html source says width and height are 0.

the template says: width="$img_width" height="$pollvars[img_height]"

the images themselves are 2x10 pixels, so they shouldn't be 0x0

do you know why the template variables for width and height are resolving to 0s? if i hardcode the template to say width="2" height="10", then the images show up, but they aren't multiplied by the number of votes, and all bars show one color image even if they got no votes.

found out a little more...

include/class_poll.php is doing this:

$img_width = (int) ($this->options[$poll_id]['votes'][$i]*$this->pollvars['img_length']/$maxvote);

and when i echo $this->pollvars['img_length'], it gives me zeroes for each option, no matter how many votes they have...so $img_width is multiplying zero times the number of votes. and of course, 0 x anything = 0...hence no bar.

not sure why $this->pollvars['img_length'] is returning 0 and not the actual length of 2?

Send Auron a message as he knows more about AP than I do.

Has the max bar length been set in the options?

I'm trying to debug this problem with my setup. The html for one line of my poll contains the following line

<td height="22"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="1">Getting into the straps</font></td>
<td nowrap height="22"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="1"><img src="/poll/image/darkgreen.gif" width="28" height="10"> 6</font></td>

However the bar shows in white.

The image darkgreen.gif exists in the /poll/image directory. The poll directory is in the root and these are set in the General Settings.

I'm using v2.03. IE7 installed.

Any ideas anyone?
