Topic: [WP-Poll] Minor Bug Report + Fix Suggestion

[Dazmogan]

Hi,

the way you calc the result percentages works in most cases but there are cases where a result ends up with -1% which looks quite buggy. Example:

3 Votes (0.38 -> 38%)
2 Votes (0.25 -> 25%)
2 Votes (0.25 -> 25%)
1 Vote (0.125 -> 13%) --> ugh, 38+25+25+13 = 101
0 Votes --> -1% due to the following line

// wp-polls.php l.635
$percentage_error_buffer = 100 - array_sum($poll_answer_percentage_array);

Quick Fix:
// wp-polls.php after l.638
if ($poll_answer_percentage < 0) {
   $poll_answer_percentage = 0;
}

Sum is still 101% but no one will notice. Much better than having a negative number.

In my blog i have a sum of 176 % in a poll which is a little bit too much Multi answers were allowed. I don't know whats going wrong, I would be very happy if you could fix it. Link to the blog post: http://www.dreambox-blog.com/index.php/2785/720p-vs-1080i-was-ist-das-bessere-hd-umfrage-8
