Sakera's Hide Poll Results

[Sakera]

What is this?

This Modification lets your users hide poll results for everyone but Moderators and Administrators, and the thread owner himself. They can choose to hide the results forever, or to show them automatically when the thread is closed or hit timeout.

Please see attached screenshots to get an idea on how it works.


Features
- Hide poll results forever
- Hide poll results until poll is closed or poll hits timeout.
- Shows a notice to Users that see the results (Moderators, Admin and thread starter) that the results are hidden.
- Moderators and Admin's can change settings via 'Edit Poll'


Template Edits
All template edits are done automaticly when needed. Hopefully this doesn't break in situations with hacked templates, if so happens please notify me what hack caused the problem.

good idea, installed, thx

[maximutt]

Awesome Sakera! Thank you!

Is there a way to hide results from the thread starter as well? Basically, I'd like only Admin to see results. Even if it's putting a is_not_member conditional around a certain section of a template, any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

One feature I'd like to request for any future updates would be the ability to hide/show results by usergroup(s).

[Sakera]

That is simply a matter of removing

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $threadinfo['postuserid']

from the conditionals in some of the plugins, and the or separator of cource.

I do not have any imediate plans on extending this modification, other than fixing bugs etc. It's a simple construction put together to fit this exact need, and i think it's time vbulletin gave the poll system a little work instead of relying on a modification for such basic behaviour :)

[Veer]

Sakera, thanks for the update.

[Drpepper99uk]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for updating this mod, I really appreciate it as you know I use this mod a lot with my photography forums for my members to vote of which photo's they like best and having a cut off time period for voting and the results not shown till the end is great....why VB couldn't have this added themselves with 4.0 released is crazy!!!

Great work, Shame not all coders on here wish to updates their mods to support 4.0.

Mike.

[Sakera]

Does everything work ok? Havent upgraded to v4 myself yet, so havent tested the modification properly myself :)

[Veer]

Yeah, works good on vb4 gold

[cooltechie]

I can't believe this is not included by default in vb4.

I tried to modify existing poll after installing mod but don't see option to hide results. Where should the settings be?

[ti07shadow]

I think you should make it so after the vote is over or when you decide to, make it so you can make the results viewable..

What i want to do is make it so when I feel the vote is over or w/e I can use the edit poll function and uncheck the hide poll results and close the poll so users can see what the end result was. that way the poll remains private, yet at the end they can see the results.

Should be in edit poll ...

It's already like that. It can either unveil the results automaticly at poll end or not, your choice.

[ti07shadow]

Hide poll results until poll is closed or poll hits timeout.

doh. didnt see that lol

[Jinovich]

Thank you for taking the time to update this mod. We use it for unbiased user feedback this modification is really underated for how useful it actually is.

[GONUMBER6]

On my site the results are hidden, but you can still see the "bars".

Please help! Please and thank you!

[Sakera]

4.02 has broken my mod. I will update the mod asap.

Thomas

Great news. I just came across this mod and I'm very interested in adding it once it's 4.02 compatible!

[Sakera]

The xml is now updated to 1.4 for 4.0.2

[War.Frog]

Wow that was quick! Nice...installed and rated!

[Veer]

thanks for the update.

[GONUMBER6]

Sakera,
Thank you for the update on the poll bars! :)

How would I create a poll widget that hides the poll results and votes as well?

[Sakera]

That would require modifying the widget itself - i've not yet started work on that :)

[GONUMBER6]

I want to be the first to know when you do! Thanks for your mod, I appreciate it!

[texasteamplayer]

I like this. I suggest that you add the option "show results once a user has voted". that's a pretty common setting.

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi texasteamplayer,

I suggest that you add the option "show results once a user has voted". that's a pretty common setting.
This is a thing I also suggest. Well, I don't have a use for the option "Hide poll results" like it is in the mod, so I changed the the plugin "Remove results view from poll.php" to

if ((!$uservoted && !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'caneditpoll') && !$showresults) || $nopermission)
{

if (($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 1) && (!($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $threadinfo['postuserid'])))
{
$option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
$option['barnumber'] = 1;
// $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
$option['percent'] = 0;
$option['percentraw'] = 0;
$option['remainder'] = 201;
$show['pollvoters'] = TRUE;
}

elseif ($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 2)
{
if (!(!$pollinfo['active'] OR ($pollinfo['dateline'] + ($pollinfo['timeout'] * 86400) < TIMENOW AND $pollinfo['timeout'] != 0)))
{
$option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
$option['barnumber'] = 1;
// $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
$option['percent'] = 0;
$option['percentraw'] = 0;
$option['remainder'] = 201;
$show['pollvoters'] = FALSE;
}
}
}

an I changed the plugin "Remove results view from showthread.php" to

if ((!$uservoted && !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'caneditpoll') && !$showresults) || $nopermission)
{

if ($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 1 && (!($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $threadinfo['postuserid'])))
{

$option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
$option['barnumber'] = 1;
// $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
$option['percent'] = 0;
$option['percentraw'] = 0;
$option['remainder'] = 201;
}
elseif ($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 2)
{
if (!(!$pollinfo['active'] OR ($pollinfo['dateline'] + ($pollinfo['timeout'] * 86400) < TIMENOW AND $pollinfo['timeout'] != 0)))
{
$option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
$option['barnumber'] = 1;
// $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
$option['percent'] = 0;
$option['percentraw'] = 0;
$option['remainder'] = 201;
}
}
}
directly in the Plugin manager.

With a little time it should not be a problem to add this option ...

Best regards

L.R.

Upgraded to 4.0.4 and this mod still works perfectly.

[Drpepper99uk]

Hi,

I'm running 4.0.3 and I don't seem to have the option to show/hide results when the poll has finished, it's strange as I used to be able to select this option and now I can't and all I see is this when starting a poll on my forums:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/41.png

How has this happened? I only have the option to not select make votes public and there is not option to have the result shown for admin/mods only.

Mike.

[Drpepper99uk]

Hi again,

Just seen on my forums that "enable hooks was added to my config.php so this is why it wouldn't work properly.

All sorted now!!

Mike.

[mitch84]

this hack work with vb4.0.6? thx

[Kay Daver]

I'm just not seeing instructions on how to install this? Help?

[AusPhotography]

Thanks! It works well!

Installation - just load the product XML file via AdminCP/Plugins & Products/Manage Products as normal.

[nul7]

installed...thanks

[DirtRider]

Can you hide the results from mod and super mods or just hide them from everyone ?

[Littlerocket]

Doesn't seem to work in 4.1.5. Great mod though, hopeful it'll work with 4.1.5 one day.

[AusPhotography]

It works for us on 4.1.7 ?? It also worked when we were running 4.1.5

[Santi86]

Don't works with 4.1.7

[mitch84]

Don't works with 4.1.7
yes, you're right

[AusPhotography]

Here is a version updated for 4.1.7

Published as per OP Re-usable code :D

BTW: It worked for me because we had modified it for our site. This is a generic 4.1.7 version.

[AusPhotography]

Sakera was last online in March 2011 :(

I'm quite happy to continue publishing maintenance releases of this hack as I need it for our site. :up:

This is also relevant (i.e. add the feature to the core product) http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-10837

[mitch84]

thank you, work fine on vb4.1.7pl1

[Littlerocket]

Thanks for that, and the PM!

[GONUMBER6]

Not working in 4.1.8 do you think the 4.1.7 will work?

EDIT: Yes, it worked.

[AusPhotography]

The hack works for 4.1.8 using my code -- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2264026&postcount=38

[lazytown]

Is there any way that you can set only certain usergroups to have the ability to create a poll that hides the results? I want to be able to do it as admin, but not allow others.

[Sakera]

Vissa, no this was not build in to the original code. Would have to be done as custom plugin code, put isn't too advanced.

[AusPhotography]

I'm had a PM dialogue with Sakera ... he will post my 4.1.7+ code in the main product header :up:

[compuminus]

The version 4.1.7/1.5 update breaks forum rendering for me. I had to uninstall and then re-install the older version. I see that a <ul class="checkradio group"> tag was added without a corresponding </ul> closing tag...could this be the problem?

[AusPhotography]

The UL tag is closed, have a look at the code.
Something else must be happening.
It works fine for me on 4.1.8 (and did on 4.1.7).

BTW the code is <ul class="group checkradio rightcol"> -- check what was downloaded?

[squidsk]

When view the poll with results hidden the text the results are hidden is not lined up with the poll option, but are offset down from it. I've checked this on firefox, IE, and chrome with 4.1.8. Aside from that it works great.

EDIT: It would also be nice if the results are hidden text was shown only once per poll instead of once per option.

[OcR Envy]

I like this. I suggest that you add the option "show results once a user has voted". that's a pretty common setting.


This is really what I am looking for as well. I looked at the code posted but I don't want to over write the other options I just want this option added. Let's see it!

[speedracer68]

Has anyone tested it on 4.1.10?

[AusPhotography]

All good on 4.1.10

[speedracer68]

Bummer!

I just installed in in 4.1.10 and it does not show up in the poll settings. I checked and it's installed but the options for hiding the results are not there.

Any thoughts?

[mitch84]

work fine on vb4.1.11

[speedracer68]

Bummer!

I just installed in in 4.1.10 and it does not show up in the poll settings. I checked and it's installed but the options for hiding the results are not there.

Any thoughts?

I wonder if it's due to some other mods or the style?

[speedracer68]

Or maybe I missed a setting where I need to turn it on?

[squidsk]

Which version of the mod did you grab. You need to install the 1.5 version, not the 1.4 version.

[speedracer68]

Whoops! I will try that now.

[speedracer68]

I feel like such an idiot at times. That was it.

Does anyone know how the time is picked when it ends and reveals the results? Is it based on the poll creation time or??? I am trying to get it to release at 8am California time.

[Nirjonadda]

Installed but where admin panel options ?

[speedracer68]

There are none. You see the options when you create a poll.

[stemmy]

How do i remove mods & supermods from seeing the results ??

I want just Admins to see the results.

[Paul.]

For me, I use ''Show Poll in Forum SideBlock (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=266481&page=7&highlight=Polls)'' but the results are shown to guests. Is there any way to fix that?

[DirtRider]

I asked if this could be done some time back but nothing as yet

[CentralGarrison]

Still no version that works in 4.2? I agree that this should be standard in VB. I'm disappointed that I paid for a product that has less functionality and options that the free stuff.

[mitch84]

yes, work fine with vb4.2.0pl3

[Gord Lacey]

Is there a way to edit this to grant another usergroup the ability to view the poll results? I'm fine hard-coding it into the plugin if that's the only way to do it, I just don't know what I'd add, or where to add it.

Thanks!

It works that way in the CMS too, but its not just guests. Anyone that doesn't have permission to vote on the poll just sees the results. If you create a group that doesn't have permission to vote on polls you will see what I mean.

Sakera, any way to get that changed?
