Online Voting Configurator

I have whipped up an online configurator that allows you to create a Voting Script configuration file without actually editing the configuration file.

Step 1

Create your poll and download the file

Voting Script Online Configurator

Step 2

Upload the file to your voting script on your server. You can either rename the voting.php to index.php or call the voting.php in your browser.

Enjoy.

Thanks for a very good site!

I have downloaded the polling scripts and uploaded it to the webserver running win xp...
I have some initial (configuration/installation) problems getting the system running, (or I might have problems understanding how the system functions).

I get the following error message
when I try to run the system:
\polltest\index.php

"
Warning: fopen(./logfiles/log.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\polltest\inc\voting.class.inc.php on line 66
"

What is the problem, and
how do I solve it?

Best,
Jarle

You need to make the log file writable.

I thing you are right. The problem persist when running the scripts on WindowsXP IIS. But when I upload it to a unix/linux-server, everything is OK.

What could be the problem when I try to run the system on a WindowsXP IIS ?
Best,
Jarle

As I said, the log file is not writable. I know that it is possible to change file permissions on IIS and make a file writable. Unfortunately, I don't know how.

Hi Ralf

I have just downloaded this script, and it works great

)

Before I purchase a license, I would like to know if its possible to save the voting.php on the server, instead of downloading it and upload it?

I found this piece of code in admin/index.php, and think something could be changed here to do the job?

Code:

      // Send the finished file to download   
        if (isset($this->post['downloadFile'])) {
            file_put_contents('./files/' . time(), $this->processConfigurationFile());
            
            
            $this->sendDownload(
                $this->processConfigurationFile(),
                $this->downloadFileName,
                self::data
                );
        }

Looking forward to hearing from you

You would have to change the path in the function file_put_contents().
