Simple Forum 1.01 Released!

Hey all.

Not sure if anyone's interested or not, but I’ve played with the Forum Polls - I wanted to chart the data in an animated bar chart. You can see it here: http://server.toledoh.com/~cmsbtest/forum/forum-posts.php?Another-Test-Poll-3

I added CSS.

.chart {

  display: table;

  table-layout: fixed;

  width: 60%;

  max-width: 700px;

  height: 200px;

  margin: 0 auto;

  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 2%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 2%);

  background-size: 100% 50px;

  background-position: left top;

}

.chart li {

  position: relative;

  display: table-cell;

  vertical-align: bottom;

  height: 200px;

}

.chart span {

  margin: 0 1em;

  display: block;

  background: rgba(209, 236, 250, 0.75);

  animation: draw 1s ease-in-out;

}

.chart span:before {

  position: absolute;

  left: 0;

  right: 0;

  top: 100%;

  padding: 5px 1em 0;

  display: block;

  text-align: center;

  content: attr(title);

  word-wrap: break-word;

}

@keyframes draw {

  0% {

    height: 0;

  }

}

I changed this in simpleForum-html.php

  // get answers and results

  $answers    = '';

  $totalVotes = (int) $poll['pollVotes1'] + $poll['pollVotes2'] + $poll['pollVotes3'] + $poll['pollVotes4'] + $poll['pollVotes5']

              + $poll['pollVotes6'] + $poll['pollVotes7'] + $poll['pollVotes8'] + $poll['pollVotes9'] + $poll['pollVotes10'];

  foreach (range(1,10) as $num) {

    $answer   = $poll["pollAnswer$num"];

    if ($answer == '') { continue; }

    $votes    = $poll["pollVotes$num"];

    $percent  = $totalVotes ? (($votes / $totalVotes) * 100) : 0;

    $percent  = sprintf("%.0f", $percent);

    $voteLink = $GLOBALS['SFORUM_POSTS_URL'] . "?postNum=$postNum&vote=$num";

    if ($userVoted) { $answers .= "<li><span style='height:$percent%' title='$answer'></span></li>\n"; }

    else            { $answers .= "<li><a href='$voteLink' class='btn btn-sm btn-default'>" . t('Vote') . " - $answer</a></li>\n"; }

  }

  if ($userVoted) { $answers .= "</ul><p>" . t('Votes') . ": $totalVotes</p>\n"; }

  // create output list

  $html  = "<div class='sforum-poll'>";

  $html .= "  <b>" . t('Poll') . ":</b><br/>\n";

  $html .= "<ul class='chart'>\n";

  $html .= $answers;

  $html .= "</div>";

  //

  return $html;

}

Hey Tim, that looks great! I like the way it animates after you've voted.

Hey Djulia, 

We've not tested the forum with version 2.65, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. We have a 90 day money back guarantee, so if the forum doesn't work correctly, you'd be able to return it without any issue. 

To get the plugin to install, you'd have to make the following change to the file simpleForum/simpleForum.php

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Simple Forum
Description: Simple website discussion forum
Version: 1.01
Requires at least: 2.65
*/


Let me know if you have any questions. 

Cheers,

Greg
