Description
Installed a fresh copy, and tested.
It fails to submit the form, due to "you have not voted on question (step 1)" which is not in the module, so I assume the format of the page has changed.... probably an easy fix, but this is why outsourced modules like this suck, when they break due to external webpage changes.
#1
Which form did you try to submit and get an error? Did you create a question first? Please be more specific. Please also refrain from placing offhand comments which contain the words 'modules like this' and 'suck' in bug reports. Its rude, condescending, and unneccesary.
#2
Sorry for not being clearer.
Created a new node for a sample question, following directions, and everything seems hunky dory as trying as a user to use the module, until you filled out the form (answering the information) and hit submit. Then the error happened. Since searching the code of the module didn't yield the javascript error I got, it's likely an external change. Sorry, I can't give more info, once I hit was clearly a brick wall, I gave up, and it's been a few days.
Sorry, you reacted to my comment wording but 3rd party dependent modules (like this one, and others that require sites outside of your control to stay static and working) are extremely troublesome and bugprone, IMHO.
Given a choice between a module that does everything in Drupal, and a module (like this) that is only a frontend to another website, I'll take the full module every time. Petition could use a lot of work, but it is standalone with Drupal.
