Voting on poll outside forum

[mrhope]

Just recently updated to 2.0RC3 from an earlier 1.x version. I've had polls outside the forum before on my website that allowed people to participate in forum polls. After upgrading to 2.0 I'm not longer able to do this, because I'm getting Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. Is it possible with 2.0 to vote outside the forums? I love that 2.0 adds the ability for guests to vote, but would get a lot more guests voting if I could add the poll outside of the forums.

I noticed the below hidden value in the code and attempted to remove this, assuming it was the pre-assigned session id but that didn't seem to work.

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="f2113a271e71" value="551293507a0842f96658e44731e36417">

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

that is the session id it should be being made available to the form through $context['session_var'] and $context['session_id']

what code did you have before?

I was just copying the HTML to display the forum and placing it outside the forum in a static HTML page. So I can't call the $context['session_var'] and $context['session_id']. Is it possible to post without a session_id?

Maybe you can start reading about SSI ?

In your forum root you'll find ssi.php and ssi_examples.php. Those files will help you to reach what you want.

as capady says, start with using ssi.php which will make those available to ur script
