Mambo MOS + SMF Poll integration

[marcnyc]

Hi I was wondering if there are any news about the integration of polls between SMF and MOS and if they are not integrated yet, which one is best to use?
Thanks

[Chris G.]

Well, MOS does include it as its own separate module, if I recall correctly, and displays it prominently.

What are you saying?
Is there a way to integrate the polls in SMF with polls in MOS?

[Chris G.]

I was saying (and I'm sorry for any confusion) that the MOS poll could be better because it is a separate module.

And for your second question, not that I know of.

I suggest the Mambo PollsXT module.  It has a lot of great features, and SMF will not interfere with it.

[marcnyc]

Unless I am wrong SMF will not interfere with the regular MOS polls either (right? or am I mistaken?), but if you ever have time, it would be great if you wanted to develop a bridge to integrate polls between MOS and SMF

Not sure if anyone came up for a solution for this, (since my polls weren't working in my MOS/SMF integration) but for anybody w/ the same problem, I came up w/ a couple lines of code to patch the solution.

Issue: SMF names its poll options simpy "option[]".  Unfortunately, this interferes w/ mambo option argument passed in the URL.

Solution: Edit the main index.php file (/www path to mos/index.php) and add these lines between "$acl = new gacl_api();" and "if ($option == '') {":

// mambo smf collision
$patch_qs = preg_replace("/\?/", "", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$switch_opt = array();
foreach (explode('&', $patch_qs) as $args) {
        list ($k, $v) = explode('=', $args);
        $switch_opt[$k] = $v;
}
// poll collision
if ($switch_opt['option']=='com_smf' && $switch_opt['action']=='vote;topic')
        $option = 'com_smf';

It is fixed in the final release of SMF.

Darn hakmed, that is a nice fix though! 

I hacked the SMF core instead, with help from Orstio and [Unknown], to get polls working on Reviewgamer

Ah, I likes hacking anyways 

Very nice fix!

* idigital wonders when SMF final will be released?

I still have to go through and fix some pages that redirect to SMF errors, they make the forum pop out of the mambo template, nasty.

Cheers,

I can show you how to fix this one too... but it requires modifications to SMF and Mambo.
