Maybe show a picture of what it looks like on the forumhome?

[Developer]

just let it go with your imagination :D
it is the same as in the pic displayed at the bottom of the navbar ...

[Deepdog009]

alrighty then...

Interesting idea. Tried installing it, but ran into some problems.

1. I have 3 polls running currently, but only 1 is showing at forumhome. I did place all 3 threadids as per your instructions in the settings but it doesn't show.
2. You left 2 options in your instructions for $poll, can you please elaborate what the difference is for the two of them.
3. Wouldn't the use of pollid be more suitable than threadid?

Please advice, thanks.

[Zaiaku]

This can be pretty useful but I give it time to develop more.

[Techno05]

well no image no download but thanks anyway. I like to know what I am getting.

[Triky]

Installed. Thank you, Developer.
This could be helpfull on the future of Web City. :)

1- this will work if you choose to order by randomly, voters number, last vote date
and ofcourse when the condition becomes true ..
2- if someone voted on the poll it will not shows the results in the forumhome .. so you have to choose what to put as u like ..
3- i doesn't really matter, it is the same thing ..

[Developer]

well no image no download but thanks anyway. I like to know what I am getting.

as i said nothing different from the original poll after the navbar the poll appears before forums list .. btw: those screen shots was taked from the mod in the forumhome ..

[MaxBentum13]

Nice addon, was looking for this. Thanks a lot.
Is it possible to show the results of the poll on forumhome after someone voted?
I tried both:

<if condition="$show[devel_poll]">
$poll
</if>

and

$poll


but both didn't show the poll results on forumhome after someone voted.

I have the following problems.

I have 3 polls currently selected. But...

1. I have used Random, Voters Number, Last Vote Date, but all 3 polls do not show up at the same time even when voter has not voted on any of the 3 polls. I only see one showing up.

2. As per the above post, I would like to see all selected polls showing up even after voter has voted.

[Adam21]

how do we change the dimensions to display it in a sidebar?

[erdiyilmaz]

i'm using vbSEO and my threads have no id, they have names.
for ex. www.forum.com/poll.html

how can i show polls? or how can i find its id number?

Edit your pool and see this number :)

[rb290]

Can I get it to stay even after you voted?

[SuperTaz]

Very nice. Installed.

[vspro]

why it only show result 0% ( i hav voted ) n that's not right??
can it vote for that poll??

[Pvtiste]

Hi,

I have a problem: I don't vote the poll but I see the result instead of the poll...
Any idea ?

thx

[The Fathom]

How can you change the width of this poll?

[wii]

What the difference from the old version ? I´m using the old code on my vBulletin 3.6.8 - works just fine.

[tirol07]

Installed,Thank you

[max8028]

Is there a way to put in side columns?

[ChurchMedia]

Clarification:
Looking at the code I don't see how this mod could show more than one poll at a time.
????

A modification you can make:
People may not know what the poll is about, so I added a small piece of code that will add a link to the thread for the poll.

You need to make the same change in TWO TEMPLATES -- the polloptions_table template and the pollresults_table template.

FIND:
$pollinfo[question]

ADD AFTER:
<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')"> (<a href="showthread.php?t=$pollinfo[threadid]">Go To Thread</a>)</if>

[Sarcoth]

I occasionally do like to get some attention to important polls, but I'm not a big fan of posting the polls at the top of the forums like that. I much would rather there be a popup; similiar to new private messages; that tell the users there is a new poll requiring their attention.

Good job though.

[CLF]

Is there a way to put in side columns?

[snowlion]

how do i make more than 1 poll show on forumhome ?

[Baldilocks]

Can i put this code anywhere in a side column?

[Chadi]

This does not seem to work in 3.7

[Astrof]

This does not seem to work in 3.7

It works, it's just disabled by default.

You need to go to AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Show Polls in Forumhome.

[F0xy]

i follow your options but i can't find 'Show Polls in Forumhome' in 3.7.1 in the location you said

EDIT: its ok, i was being an idiot!

[want3ed]

in 3.7.1 my any users saying this,

When i use poll in forumhome that time i saw this error :

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

[futureye]

i wish the poll to be showen always

[futureye]

works fine in 3.7.2

[xtrung]

[edytwinky]

Does anybody have a link to their forum using this I can take a look at?

[Amaresh]

not working in 3.7.3

[gatorenvy]

I'm getting this:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

any fixes?

[SIINSI]

This works but, like others said, how do I put this in a sidebar on forumhome?

[crkgb]

I'm getting this:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

any fixes?

Will this ever be addressed? The mod adds a useful feature, but is worthless till the issue is fixed. Or at least let us know please where the magic line needs to be added.

[Desesperao]

It doesn't works in vB 3.7.4 :(

[anwar.abdullakh]

If you have multiple polls separated with comma, even then only one poll is shown on forumhome.

I wonder when a proper 3.7.x or 3.8.x will be out for this.

[Shaheen]

its really a nice hack but not working on 3.8.3 , any updates ?

[DeanLag]

Hmm works fine with 3.8.3
Thanks for that!

[DeanLag]

Would be nice to add a collapsable button to it :)

[eevanesscence]

its its really a nice hack but not working on 3.8.3 , any updates ?

[minik]

its working with 4.1.x ???

[KJA4U]

Tested on 3.8.7 , it works fine. Before enabling the plugin, You need to go to AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Show Polls in Forumhome.
and add the number of the tread that contains the poll. If enabled before adding the number of the thread you may get a data base error.
Regards

[dj83]

Is there anyway that only members can see the polls?

[ozzy47]

Perhaps change:
<if condition="$show[devel_poll]">

To this:
<if condition="$show[devel_poll] AND $show['member']">

[dj83]

Thanks ozzy47!

I have one more question is there away to have this mod show polls in the order that they were posted?

For example:
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

instead of
Option 1
Option 3
Option 2
