Baking Until I Drop

Quotation of the moment:

Tuesday 4th, May 2004

Polls continued

Okay, I worked on the polls and well, I need comments.

And it was nice that none of you voted bad on the last one. I wouldn’t've been insulted you know ;-)

I still am not happy with the changes bcause I didn’t want to hardcode my siteurl into my-hacks but I couldn’t seem to get the function to get the siteurl in the echo to work and I figured I would take no chances. I’ll work on that later.

I *know* the text is toooooo tiny for you to see properly, but until I get the CSS fixed…just copy it into a text file or enlarge the window temporarily *please*…

I’ve just been *insulted* and she said how can you know what the problems are *before* you vote?
Well here’s how…EMPTY YOUR CACHE OR COOKIES OR WHATEVER
and vote again :-)

  1. since i apparently did the insulting, here’s my further bit…so if I empty MY cache, how will YOU separate my “ignorant” vote from my now informed vote?
    Or do you just not care?
    Hm?
    BTW, could you state that email is required, i did not know this before.

  2. I just don’t care! :-p
    i do wish i could get a change vote option tho
    *sniffle*

    re email required: i’ll have to figure out where to put it..it used to be automatic i thought..

  3. I just voted and the poll seems to work fine. Looks OK too. I am using Mozilla though. Lovely jubbley. On my blog it only says that URI trumps email which means if you put both in the URI shows on the link. You still have to use email though unless you change the settings in admin. Have you tried the mind reading yet??

  4. i still think the font is a bit small, maybe because i nested alot of uls and lis in it…but i’ll be able to deal with the css soon
    i guess there may be a place to edit comments in wp-comments.php perhaps…i’ll have to check
    and i didn’t try it at work because it didn’t load…something to do with that lovely flashblock extenstion i just installed
    so i’ll try it in a bit!

  5. it’s cuz of the my favourite number, the magic number 9, isn’t it?

  6. Hey, saw your comment. Care to exchange links? I just went live with my site and I’d like to get some traffic. Drop me a comment/email.

  7. link exchange..cool :-)

  8. Just a thought. Maybe black text would be clearer without increasing the font size.

  9. probably! I’ll try it…i still haven’t figured out which css element to change but i figure it’s cuz i need to add a new div type thingy

  10. w00tage of the day: the tables are gone!

  11. heh heh heh
    i just have to make the text nicer
    but heh heh heh

  12. you need a line something like
    global $siteurl
    at the start of a function, i think that will contain the, er, site url

  13. ah! i tried calling it *in* the echo thingamajig…which didn’t go down to well…
    will try that later…when i figure out php variables :-D

    thanks!

  14. Regarding hardcoding URL…

    <form action="index.php" method="post"> will be <form action="'.$siteurl.'/index.php" method="post">

    <a href="index.php?showresults=1"> will be <a href="'.$siteurl.'/index.php?showresults=1">

    etc… you’ve got the point :) and remember to remove spaces ;)
    regards

    Edited by Lily, cuz she hates to delete comments and hopefully it’ll look right now

  15. bah… spaces haven’t helped… it was parsed anyway…

    lemme try again:

    <xa href="index.php?showresults=1"X> must be <xa href="'.$siteurl.'/index.php?showresults=1"X>
    <xform action="index.php" method="post"X> must be <xform action="'.$siteurl.'/index.php" method="post"X>

    etc.</xform></xform></xa></xa>

    Edited by Lily to show Max what I got as text :-P

  16. mmkay… now it just got ignored totally… I’ll mail you instructions per mail in 5mins.
    regards

  17. yay! thanks :-)
    i need to figure out why my radio buttons at work are about an inch wide!

    i think you can put things in the code tags…i think!

    test:
    google

  18. Having fun?? ;-)

  19. @Stuart: no and yes :P

    @Max and anybody else:

    echo "<form action=\"$siteurl/wpress/index.php\" name=\"polls\" method=\"post\">\n";
    echo "<a href=\"$siteurl/wpress/index.php?showresults=1\">View Results</a>\n";
