I recently added an AJAX Poll to my blog which you can see on the sidebar here: http://lilwaynehq.com/blog

Anyway I want to add this poll onto my main website: http://www.lilwaynehq.com under the main menu.

I have tried this code as its what I'm using on my blogs main page:

<?php if (function_exists('vote_poll') && !in_pollarchive()): ?>
            <ul class="navlist" style="font-size:12px;">
                                <li><?php get_poll();?></li>
                        </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

But nothing shows on my website, so I'm wondering what I need to edit. Is it not linking to the right file?

I hope you understand me, thanks

It probably isn't displaying anything, because the functions "vote_poll()" and "in_pollarchive()" don't exist on your main site, while they are defined somewhere on your wordpress generated site. Find where these functions exist in your blog, then find a place to define them on your main site, preferrably in a file that is shared site wide, since you will probably want to place the poll in many places.

Do you mean like change "vote_poll()" to "/blog/plugin/vote_poll()" etc?

No, the problem is not with the code you described above, and the path you suggested doesn't work for calling a function. Functions can only be called if the code is either on the page, or is included somehow, which means that somewhere on your page, or in one of the include files, there needs to be something like this:

PHP Code:

function vote_poll() {
/*a bunch of code goes here*/
}

function in_pollarchive() {
/*a bunch more code goes here*/
} 


What you need to do is find the code that runs the poll, so that you can include it on the page somehow, and thus use the functions. Since you are using Wordpress, they are probably in your plugins folder. Hopefully they are designed to work independant of the Wordpress platform.

I found the code, but how will I add it onto my page then?

Also I added this to the top of my file:

<?PHP

require_once('blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-polls/wp-polls.php');

?>

And now I get this error:


Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../../../wp-config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/dannym:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/dannym/public_html/lilwaynehq.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-polls/wp-polls.php on line 33

Not 100% sure about that error, but try using "include", instead of "require_once", in the same format you have it.

It means the file your are including is in an area where you don't have permission. Use a direct absolute file path instead of a relative path.
