nope still just refreshes maybe there is something in index.php i have missed

joeroberts · #4 8th February 2012, 15:43

look for a open <form some where maybe
easy way to make sure is to add a </form> before it

BitFarmer · #5 8th February 2012, 15:47

thats not it
maybe it's because index php has

Code:

 include("header.php");

and poll php don't
can it even call for

Code:

global $db, $db_prefix;

without it ???

you have a open form tag in your theme changer.

HTML Code:

<h3>Theme Change</h3><p align="center">Theme</p> <form id="acp_styles" type="hidden" method="post" action="#"><p><select id="template_file" name="theme_change" onchange="if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value != '') this.form.submit();"><option selected value="bitfarm">bitfarm</option> </select></p>

intresting

Code:

OpenTable('Theme Change'); 
echo "<p align=\"center\">Theme</p>\n"; 
echo "<form id=\"acp_styles\" type=\"hidden\" method=\"post\" action=\"#\">"; 
echo "<p><select id=\"template_file\" name=\"theme_change\" onchange=\"if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value != '') this.form.submit();\">".themechange()."</select></p>"; 
echo "<p align=\"center\">Language</p>\n"; 
echo "<p><select id=\"language_file\" name=\"language_change\" onchange=\"if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value != '') this.form.submit();\">".languagechange()."</select></p>"; 
echo " <input class=\"butns btog\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Select\" /></form>"; 
CloseTable();

commented out from main but still won't work

ok try this
In poll.php find

PHP Code:


			
  if ($btuser && $choice != "" && $choice < 256 && $choice == floor($choice))

and change it to

PHP Code:


			
  if ($user->user && $choice != "" && $choice < 256 && $choice == floor($choice))

and now find

PHP Code:


			
      $userid = "".getuserid($btuser)."";

and change it to

PHP Code:


			
      $userid = $user->id;
