This web poll

August 13, 2001 by Andrew Watson

This SHOULD be a usefull tpoic...

However the tutorial is very hard to follow, in some places nonsensical.

Where did the file connVote.asp come from???? eh? The downloaded package doesnt include this.

if i include Poll.asp (as it says) it is blank.

As for the administration pages they are not anywhere.

It is just so unclear

:(

Thanks anyway

Has anyone actually got this to work?

September 14, 2001 by Darren Line

Whenever I test my pages, I get no errors, nor no poll!

I have specified dates in before and after today, so that I know the poll should appear.  But no joy.

Does it use American date format?  Or does it not matter.

The reason it is not working right

He gives you just enough to get you interested this is the guy who is selling all of his Exensions.  He is wanting you to buy his poll extension if you look he tells you of the same pages on his site and the rest I believe is suppose to to bedone by the extension

This is a brilliant tutorial, and it does work, but not if you don't know anything about Access or the way Dreamweaver handles the DNS connection. If some of you just unzipped the whole file and expected that it would just work out straight out of the pack, you're in for a big disappointment! But you can make it work in two easy steps.

 

Here is what you should do, first open the poll_result_update.asp file and double click on the command (MM_updatecmd) in the Server Behavior and it will tell you that DW must recreate the connection file (that's the connVote.asp) Then in the Command window define the connection to the DB (Poll.mdb) and give it the name "dsn_Poll".

 

That's it... It worked for me. The only disappointment is the lack of admin tools... But it's very simple to create your own poll in Access.

connection without DSN

November 4, 2001 by perez morales

How  I can work this poll with a Connection String? The tutorial is for a DSN file, and I need work without a DSN. The poll work well in my PC with a DSN and with IIS.5 –I can see the page with a include file, the poll.asp and the result_poll.asp- but with a Connection String, putting the sames files in my server I can,t see the vote form.

Somebody  knows the solution?

Thank you from Grenade –Spain-.

PHP and MySQL version?

August 17, 2002 by Johnny Lee

Hi,

Does anyone have a PHP & MySQL version of the DuPoll? or have a Dreamweaver MX, PHP & MySQL version of this tutorial?  I am having troubles creating this poll using Dreamweaver MX for PHP & MySQL.

Thank you.

I still don't get it. I changed my dsn_Poll.asp file to:

<%
' FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_dsn_Poll_STRING
MM_dsn_Poll_STRING = "dsn=" & Server.MapPath("/top100nederland/db/db.mdb") & ";"
%>

I've got no IIS on my own computer so normally I don't use this macromedia options. Who knows what is wrong by the above file.
