Just a week after the release of versino 1.1 a new version is out - v 1.2. Since users were requesting different new options and paramters I made some adjustments, added new features, fixed some errors in the languages, fixed some bugs and here we go with 1.2.
People using 1.1 can update to 1.2 using these files. Just unzip into your Joomla folder and your component and module will be up to date. Make sure after update you go through each one of your active polls and apoll modules and hit the apply button so that the database remembers the new parameters.
If you are doing a fresh install you can download the files from the download section.
Change log version 1.2
Component:
- new parameters to show hits, show voters and show time the first and last vote has been casted.
- new parameter for the trancation of the option text
- new parameter for the border of the option bar in "joomla default way view".В
- using substr instead of mb_substr again after some users reported errors with multi byte operations.
- hits for each option are now always shown in the backend of the component
- added images for add/remove options buttons
- lag is now set in hours not in seconds - no more countings
- joomfish content element files are added to the package
Module:
- new parameter to set if only registered users can vote or anyone
- new parameter for chosing what to show in the module if user has voted
