Problems getting a javascript working on forum

[VDimensional]

I was trying to set it up so I could have automatic polls for a few of the product review categories in my forum using the 2nd javascript from this topic https://help.forumotion.com/t143063-how-can-i-add-an-automatic-poll-like-here-on-the-support-forum
However despite making sure the forum id's are correct and javascript code management is enabled in the control panel when a new post is posted in said forums/categories it does not automatically create the poll
I am using awesomebb for the forum

what I'm trying to use:

Code:

        window.location.pathname == '/post' && $(function () {
          var forums = [24, 25],
       
          lang = {
            info : 'The poll will be added automatically.',
            poll_question : 'Arvosana',
            poll_answers : '1\n2\n3\n4\n5'
          },
       
          i = 0,
          j = forums.length,
          f;
       
          if (document.post && document.post.mode.value == 'newtopic') {
            f = document.post.f.value;
         
            for (; i < j; i++) {
              if (f == forums[i]) {
                $(document.post.poll_title).closest('fieldset').html('<strong>' + lang.info + '</strong><input type="hidden" name="poll_title" value="' + lang.poll_question + '" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_option_text" value="' + lang.poll_answers + '"><input type="hidden" name="poll_length" value="0" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_cancel_vote" value="1" />');
                break;
              }
            }
          }
        });

Good to know. How would I modify the script to work with AwesomeBB? I'm not too familiar with this script stuff

Sadly the maker of the script is no longer using the forum so unless @Razor12345 or @Niko can try and make this work for you then I'm sorry we can't help you.

Sadly that code is a little old now and was not made to work for other forums.

I see. Would there be any other methods to implement such product review functionality? A star based rating system would be ideal for such application but I've had little luck in finding a solution. I understand though if such a feature is not possible to easily implement

@VDimensional no idea if there could be another way, it's probably something that is worth a suggestion

If instead you want to adapt the code to AwesomeBB version, could you give me your preference for all these settings?

• Poll question
  
• Poll options
  
• Vote cancelling allowed
  
• Display the list of members who voted
  
• Display the list of members who voted for each choice

Thank you for being helpful! I'm sure to put down the rating system in the suggestions

Here is the current format we've been using for the reviews:
Poll question: Arvostelu
Poll options: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
vote cancelling allowed: yes
Display list of members who voted: no
Display the list of members who voted for each choice: no

The polls are ofcourse set to last infinitely so people can rate the same products in the future aswell

Here you are
You can add this javascript content for AwesomeBB

Code:

window.location.pathname == '/post' && $(function () {
          var forums = [1,2],
     
          lang = {
            info : 'The poll will be added automatically.',
            poll_question : 'Arvostelu',
            poll_answers : '1\n2\n3\n4\n5'
          },
     
          i = 0,
          j = forums.length,
          f;
     
          if (document.post && document.post.mode.value == 'newtopic') {
            f = document.post.f.value;
       
            for (; i < j; i++) {
              if (f == forums[i]) {
                $(document.post.poll_title).closest('.block-content').html('<strong>' + lang.info + '</strong><input type="hidden" name="poll_title" value="' + lang.poll_question + '" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_option_text" value="' + lang.poll_answers + '"><input type="hidden" name="poll_length" value="0" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_cancel_vote" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_public_members" value="0" checked="checked"><input type="hidden" name="poll_public_whovoted" value="0" checked="checked">');
                $(function() { $(document.post.poll_title).closest('.block').removeClass('forum-hidden'); });
                break;
              }
            }
          }
        });

I added a line that opens the tab so that it displays the poll added message (because in AwesomeBB sections are closed by default). If you prefer to keep it closed, just remove this line:

Code:

$(function() { $(document.post.poll_title).closest('.block').removeClass('forum-hidden'); });

For the other customizations, you can follow the original topic instructions

Thank you! This encourages more of my forums members to write product reviews
