IdioPoll 1.1, yes it’s coming

Got a very kind note today from someone who had installed IdioPoll, so I’ll definitely have to dedicate some time to fixing up that thing soon. It’s quite dated code so it will take me a bit of time to slip back into using… but this user gave me some good ideas, plus I have a few of my own.

Some of the most important changes in beta 2:

Multiple-script friendly. IdioPoll creates its own database link rather than reusing.
That annoying blank poll choice. I have no clue what causes this but I think I’ve tweaked it enough to keep it from doing anything bad.
Code cleanup. Now with 54.8% more whitespace!
New features coming: TestMode (doesn’t set a cookie when voting), better layout for previous polls section, call specific polls at certain areas of the site, and more

After all, this is enough to keep me going

1.1 is already out according to your site (?) So wouldn’t this be 1.2 or 1.1.2 :p

Sounds cool. I still haven’t gotten IdioQuote to work though. Oh well.

Still not? AIM me sometime with some FTP or SSH (preferably SSH) credentials I can use and I’ll fix ‘er up for you.

Fixed

Made with Aptana, WordPress, glorious jQuery, lasagna, and wub. And lots of Nicola's help. By lots I mean this site is pretty much all Nic. Preparation Instructions: Stir gently and bake at 450° for 2 hours. Distill through Erlenmyer flask under constant stream of nitrogen. Incubate on shaker platform until growth and movement is observed. Serves 8-12. Store leftovers in cryogenic freezer at no higher than -120° for maximum elasticity.
