Closed Poll thread title
 

A user requested that if a poll is closed the thread be preceeded by Closed Poll: instead of just Poll:.

Here's a few lines of code that did it for us. (see attachment )

All you have to do is insert a few lines of code to forumdisplay.php.

Good luck, hope it helps.

History:

• 1.4
  Added closed poll functionality to search.php in showresult function.
• 1.3
  Added field to poll table lookup.
  Added condition to show poll closed when timeout has occured.
  Elimiated HTML tags for bold since the default vB prefixes are not bold.
• 1.2
  Removed HTML tag for font color.
• 1.1
  Added condition to show poll closed if thread or poll is closed.
• 1.0
  Initial release.

Here's a preview.

nice idea

Nice :D

good idea

...doesn't seem to do anything....strange.....

EDIT: Nevermind. It doesn't work when locking a poll (locking the entire thread, that is).

Does this add a query for every poll in the forum? Or just the closed ones?

A query occurs for each thread with a poll attached that is going to be displayed to see if it is open or closed.

The guys that wrote vB are sharp, we're not dealing with "ALL" the posts in the forum when we do a display. We get the number of threads that is set in the admin panel displayed. So, if I'm reading this code correctly, a forum display of 15 threads occuring would yield - worst case senario if all 15 threads have polls - 15 additional queries per forumdisplay. This is usually about 3 or 4 from what I've seen. Boards with more polls may want to be aware of the over head though.


Thanks. That help?
