Hide Threads with unfinished Polls

<font size="3">Hide Threads with unfinished Polls</font>
Your Board has a fair amount of Traffic. One User starts a new Thread with a Poll, and
before he has finished submitting the Poll 10 other Users have already replied to the
Thread complaining about the missing Poll and such.
Then this Hack is for you:
It will hide Poll-Threads until the assigned Poll is ready.
Threads that don't get a Poll asigned within a certain amount of time can optionally
be fetched by a Garbage Collector and deleted.
The Timeout can be defined in vBulletion Options / Server Settings & Optimization Options.

Details
1 Product XML with 3 Phrases, 1 Setting and 7 Plugins
1 Template Edit
1 Image

History
1.0.0 Initial Version
1.0.1 Updated for vBulletin 3.5 RC1
1.0.2 Fixed a slight Problem with missing Phrases
Attention: This Hack only works with vBulletin 3.5 RC1 and up!

Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall when you don't use it any longer!

It seems amazing to me that something like this has not already been thought of yet. Why would this not be a regular function in vB? Anyway, very cool. I don't think my board is anywhere busy enough to have something like this yet, but it's good to have when it does get busier.

Most excellent! I've been "nailed" by this issue as well. :)

Kirby, with the new xml file, if I attempt to "import product", I get an invalid file error.

Andreas

My bad, uploaded the wrong ZIP.
Should be OK now.

Odd, the admincp phrase didn't install. The others did though. Another great one Kirby, .com needs to promote you to staff since you seem to be fixing all the bugs. lol :)

Kinda stupid if you were to ask me. You would think that they would have designed the board to let you create the poll while you create your post, not create your post post it to the board and then have to go back in and create the poll !

What about a hack or plugin that will get the board to let you create your poll while your creating your post? Then we wouldn't need this hack and it would probably be better than using this hack here.

How bout it Andreas??? Will you code this?

Has anyone tried getting this to work with vBookie posts? Given that they are effectively posted as polls...........

Andreas

01-19-2006 10:12 AM

vBookie events are not polls.

Trevor Hannant

01-20-2006 06:10 AM

I know they're not actually polls Andreas, what I mean is that they're posted in the same manner - ie. create and submit your post first (which shows up in the relevant forum) then create the vBookie event which is added to the post later.

See where I'm coming from with this one?

Installed, lookin' good! Thanks Andreas!

Just FYI for others, if you have any alternate styles on your forum, be sure to upload exclamation.gif to the appropriate directories.

I have Aqua-Soft 2 installed so in addition to copying exclamation.gif to /images/misc/ I also had to copy it to /images/as2/misc/.

Hope this helps. And thanks again for a very helpful improvement.
