Votesie Changelog (started 02/07/01)

01/04/2004 (v1.1.1)

 Grr. The way I was checking for writeability of the poll files directory
 wasn't working on some systems. Should be fixed.

12/07/2003 (v1.1.0)

 If you just pull up Votesie.cgi in your browser without entering any options,
 it will show a list of polls available.

 Added a configuration check so that even if you have debugging off, you won't
 be able to run the script unless it's going to work. :-)

 Added some more (hopefully) helpful information into that configuration check
 including a link to email me.

 Admin section now has the ability to delete polls as well as deleting old
 poll html files.

 Admin section will now check to see if the poll you're creating is a duplicate,
 and will give you an error if so.

 Added several variables so that you can have a default color scheme for your
 polls. This allows you to set up a color scheme for your polls so you don't
 have to make sure to check a color for every single option when creating
 a poll. Previously, if you skipped checking a color, the poll would look
 strange. You can still choose other colors, but if you mainly use the default
 colors, you can pretty much skip the whole color-picking part of poll
 creation. 

 Forgot to add that you can now choose to have solid-color bars as well
 as the lined bars for the results graph.

  
06/08/01 (v1.0.5)
 Bug fix: a problem made the script have trouble creating polls under
 Windows platforms. This should be okay now.

10/28/01 (v1.0.4)
 By popular request -- you can now have the results in a popup window. 
 I added a configuration option ($javascript_popup which can be "yes" or "no")
 to have the voting results pop up in a little Javascript popup window.  
 You can set the width ($javascript_popupwidth) and also the height 
 ($javascript_popupheight) of the results window in the configuration, or, 
 if you don't want to use JavaScript, there is another variable 
 $results_in_new_window which will just use regular HTML to open the results
 in a new browser window.
 I also did a bit more cleaning up of the code, and put in some more
 error messages for "file not found" and took out the debugging information
 unless you have debugging actually on. :-)

07/24/01 (v1.0.3)
 Fixed a possible bug where a new poll could give "illegal division by zero"
 error.

02/07/01
 Made some changes so this should now run on Windows NT,98, and so forth.
 Made a change so that if you change the HTML on a poll, and accidentally
 remove the color scheme you chose from the hidden form fields, it will
 set some default colors instead for the results. (Previously, it would
 give an error message.)
