e-steki Unvote
 

I was surprised that nobody had made a similar hack, so I decided to make it myself as I missed that feature a lot (SMF had it by default). :)

I think it's purpose is quite obvious: It allows a user to withdraw his vote from a poll. Very useful when somebody clicks the wrong choice, when more options are added in a poll or simply when somebody changes his mind! ;)

Installation is very easy. Just import the product XML and make a simple template edit (more detailed instructions in the zip file).

My apologies for the greek lang in the screenshot, my english language is right to left due to the upcoming april fools.

Updates
---------
Bug fixed thanks to Psionic Vision :D

Hotwheels clicks install

Tell me how it goes :)

Its installed and working perfectly...........thanks so much for this addition....

Good idea, should be very handy. :)

Ah, that sounds good.
Installed & thank you!

Thanks Michelle .. useful .. clicked install.

Users should only be able to reverse their vote once, otherwise this could lead into total chaos ;)
Or this option should only be possible within 24h after first vote...


nice idea anyway !

I was just about to suggest similar

admin can set time expire limit: allow to change within 5 minutes ( thats enough time if they made a MISTAKE in voting ) , or 30 minutes, or 1440 minutes
( admin decides how long )


Thanks Michelle for the hack tho

< still installs >

I am planning to add options to it, this is a quite basic version that I put together in about half an hour :)

In terms of those options, could you add settings by forum and usergroup?

It would be great if that admincp option would be placed within the New Postiongs menu under the options panel in the ACP.

Ill click install but ill wait for the "vote change only allowed within X hours"


Thanks!

*clicks install* this should be a standard vB option. great work!

So suggest features :)
1. Vote change only allowed within X hours
2. ...?

great man . installed

Warning!!! Important bug found!!!
If somebody unvotes and votes again then the number of votes is incremented by one! I suggest all of you to uninstall until I fix the bug.
My sincere apologies :(

I will not remove the attachment in case someone else fixes it and shares the solution...

awkk!!!

Well i hope a fix is found soon ... heh :)

Thanks for the heads up

Just wanted to say that :rolleyes:

Nice hack.

Tip on how to fix the "serious bug":
Using "voteoption" column from "pollvote" table, update the appropriate part of the "votes" column (need to use explode and then implode).

EDIT: Too easy, I'll post a fix in a minute.

Here we go. Fixed Version Attached. :)

Feature Suggestions:

- Per-Poll Enable / Disable
- Per-Poll Vote Change Time Limit
- Have it Display The Link Here Too: poll.php?do=showresults

Awesome Thanks Psionic!!!

Woah thanks Psionic!! :D

Psionic Rocks!
does work with Multple Vote?

Multiple Vote - no. Only single vote. But this can be adjusted. :)

It will cause the same problem with multiple votes? :(

It will only decrease the very first of the votes. However, the fix is easy once again, I'll post it today. :)

Is it ok if I add some more features to this hack? (since you are not coding for a month)

You are free to do whatever you believe will benefit the community. :)

Thank you Michelle :cool:

This is great!:D

Install

Ok, I'll see whether I implement my own suggestion or not, but for now - here is a fix (once again).

Marvelous. I was having an issue with the lack of this feature over this weekend just past.

By the by, Psionic Vision's feature list sounds ideal. :)

Thanks! Installed.

This hack should be to install of origin in the next version of vBulletin :) (team vb.com ???)

Click Install ;)

Yes, it def. should.

What feature did you add Psionic? I am asking to decide whether I'll upgrade it on my board now or later :)

I only fixed the bugs, did not add any features .. yet. :)

Any way to make this so only Admins can use it to change votes for users? And does it work on polls that are there before the install? ;)

Very nice idea!

Of course there is a way but I have no time to do it :(
Maybe during summer :/
Yes, it works for all polls. :)

Sorry for not making the updates as I offered, haven't had time to. :(
