    Make poll with Contour

    Hi, it may be something easy, but I don't uderstand what I have to do with these files. I found on http://www.nibble.be/?p=81 files to make polls with Contour. The parts with Contour, the master.template and the Runway home page is ok, but what I have to do with the .dll, .cs and .config files? For now, the poll shows, I can vote and it's added in Contour entries, but I can't see the results.

    Thank you for your help!

    Simply drop the .dll file in your bin directory

    To see the results you'll need an xslt macro, the code for that is outlined in the blog post.

    Regards,
    Tim

    Hi,

    I have trouble getting the poll package to display results under 4.6.1 (.net4, iis7).

    I have set the formid parameter in the macro.

    Instead of results I get:

    Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\ContourPollResults.xslt

    Thank you,

    Dimitris

    Hey,

    Try opening the xslt file within Umbraco, press save and you should get an error message, this should help you debug.

    Hi Rich,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    I managed to get it working.

    Actually, I should have registered the xslt extension...

    As for your comment, saving the xslt was not giving me an error.

    Thank you,

    Dimitris

    Hi Tim,

    Am having the same error msg as Dimitris

    Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\ContourPollResults.xslt

    I copied the Contour.Addons.Poll.dll in the bin folder but cant get the results from the pool to show up.

    Do i need to change something in the Macros Parameter??

    Might be the contour xslt extensions that didn't get registered, could you chech the /config/xsltextensions.config to see if you see anything contour related in there

    Well if you followed the instruction on  http://www.nibble.be/?p=81 you should be good, are the contour xslt extensions in the config?

    Yes the contour ext is there.

    <ext assembly="Umbraco.Forms.Core" type="Umbraco.Forms.Library" alias="umbraco.contour"></ext>

    Tim, 

    Even with the ext in the config am still not getting any results.

    think the poll also needs an xslt extension do you see contourpoll in the config file somewhere?

    I have the same issue, there does'nt seem to be a contour poll ext in the config

    all I have is:

    <extassembly="Umbraco.Forms.Core"type="Umbraco.Forms.Library"alias="umbraco.contour"></ext>

    What's the extra line to go in the config?

    here is another question i have...

    the template example...

    this line is throwing errors - object not set to an instace of....

    for pages without a poll specified.

    string pollId = umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("activePoll").Value;

     

    the complete code chunk is this...

    <% 
    string pollId = umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("activePoll").Value;             
    if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(pollId)){
       if (Request.Cookies[pollId] == null) { %>                   
      <umbraco:Macro FormGuid="[$activePoll]" Alias="umbracoContour.RenderForm" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>                   
    <% } 
    else {%>  
      <umbraco:Macro formid="[$activePoll]" Alias="PollScript" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>                   
    <% }} %>

    @Pete, possible answer here

    @Bob, you need to check if the property is null before you try to access the .Value property

    var pollProperty pollId = umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("activePoll");
    if (pollId != null) {
    string pollId = pollProperty.Value;
    ...

    If you're using uComponents, uQuery has some nice extensions that handle this automatically too.

    Hi guys,

    Apologies for posting in a Topic already marked as "Completed". I was just wondering if anyone had a Razor version of the code that is provided in Tim Geyssens post located here: http://www.nibble.be/?p=81

    I'm desperate to see it!

    Many thanks

    Rick
