Hi there!
I wanted to know if there´s a way to avoid people to be redirected to the poll page after they vote, instead of remaining in the original page. I want them to remain there.

And, hum... is there a way to avoid voters to see the quantity of people that have already voted?
The access control doesn´t help in this matter...
I don´t care for them to see the percentages, but don´t want them to see the actual quantity... only the administrator...

Hope it can be done someway...

Thanks in advance guys!!!

It´s pretty annoying that after answering, people are sent to the poll page, instead of the original page in which they were... that way they could keep navigating the site...
The actual way can confuse people that are nor aware of this... and that are not used to answer polls...

Rosa,

I too am trying to accomplish much the same thing as you've described. All I wanted was a way to allow people to vote on multiple polls in sucession. Apparently, this is not possible. Too bad.

I 'm going to start a new thread in the hopes that I can coax someone out of hiding to point me in the right direction. I'll post a link to my new thread here to assist others.

Nobody has stepped forward in my other thread to offer suggestions. Oh well. I'll go blindly into the dark again and make something happen. I always do! :-)

Here's the link I promised you:

The poll module in Drupal needs some work. It's lacking behind on some essential features.

I've read a comment or two (don't have the link handy, I'm not at home) with regards to poll.module being pulled out of core in D6 as archive was in D5 so that the community can have at it and help it grow it into something more than what it is.

Yeah I heard that too, it's about time really but I'm more worried by if this becomes a trend. Certain core modules aren't receiving attention from developers and we should be contributing patching back into the core whenever necessary rather than creating a separate module (e.g. advanced poll).

I wonder if something like Advanced Poll should really be in the core at all. User login? Now that's a core feature. I wouldn't want an external module doing user login. That'd be silly.

Voting, on the other hand, is a feature that not all sites need. Sure, the basic functionality needs to be there, but the specifics of voting, polling, and ballots will vary widely from site to site.

Indeed, I follow the same view. I was thinking about the contact.module while posting earlier.

Did you ever figure out how to avoid people to be redirected to the poll page after they vote?

Rosamunda’s picture

Rosamunda commented

Yeah, I would like to know that too.
That´s the main reason that kept me from using that module... I´m using the webform module instead....

Yes, as I mentioned above, there is a better module available called Advanced Poll. It does everything you mentioned you want in this topic.

Just switched to the Advanced Poll and this does works better. I was able to determine its behavior better using the Views Module.. Look into this Rosamuno..

Rosamunda,

Did you figure out how to prevent the irritating redirection?

I'd love to know how.

How I fixed my copy:

line 544 +/-

changed 

     drupal_goto('node/'. $nid);

to

	/*
       drupal_goto('node/'. $nid);	
	*/

	drupal_goto($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

On wich page did you apply this modification ?
drupal_goto($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])
Is there something to replace in your code ? name server or referer ? Or it has to be written exactly as you did ?

Thank you !
