Allow members to edit polls?

Often in my forum a poll needs to be deleted then then entered again with new options.

For example, at the moment they are watching "Big Brother" on TV and discussing it on a Big Brother thread, every week it a poll needs to be "who do you want evicted this week" but they can't change the poll at all.

On my old forum users could delete their own poll and make a new one, is there a way I can enable this or do I need to find a mod?

Admincp

Under Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Registered Users...if yes to Can Post a Poll they should be able to edit them.

cheers, but they have no problem posting polls, but I have had a look and I can't see how they would edit them.

I have added a registered user...a moderator and a super moderator sign on for myself..It helps with trouble shooting issues such as you are explaining.

Okay I did a test for you. A registered user can post a poll but cannot edit it or delete it. A moderator or above can on my site.

Ah what a pain, thanks for testing it out for me.

I need to get around it, do you think its possible? My members will HATE this. :(

Assign a moderator to each forum to help out...that's the quickest Idea I have for you..or if a member requests a change have them contact a moderator with the things are required for change...sorry for the facts but they are what they are. :D

Try this, in poll.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $threadinfo['postuserid'] AND !can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid'], 'caneditpoll'))
    {
        print_no_permission();
    }

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $threadinfo['postuserid'], 'caneditpoll'))
    {
        print_no_permission();
    }

(This is untested)

thanks, that didn't work though.

This is really annoying, why on earth can't I allow my user to edit polls?? It seems like a really silly thing not to allow!

I would go to modification requests and ask someone to make a mod for you. If you have no replies in a reasonable time offer up 50 bucks for someone to write a hack for you. I paid for graphic help and didn't look back.
