History & Hack Information
==========================
First of all, MAJOR credit goes to Firefly and Scott MacVicar for the original creation of this hack in VB2.

I attempted to just port this over to VB3, but that did not quite happen. Most of it was rewritten, but I could not have done it without the VB2 hack as a guide.

What is Hide Poll Results ver 1?
This hack allows you to choose whether or not you want the results of your poll displayed while the polls are open. It only allows the original poll poster, admins and mods of that form to view the results of the poll and none of the regular users. They can only view the poll if the poll is closed either by a admin/mod or the poll ends.

Testing
=======
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.0 Gold, across multiple hacked and unhacked installations.
Updated For vBulletin 3.0.7 on 04/05/2005

Thanks to

Firefly and Scott MacVicar for the original VB2 version and the idea.

Boofo for telling me to make it happen.
pjk for the changes to the pollresults_table TEMPLATE

About me
========
This is my first public hack release. It seems all the good ideas for VB2 had already been done by the time I got there. I am not new to php and MySQL however and I hope this is not my last release.

Excellent job! Clicking install. ;)

Okay, we may have found a possible bug.

We created some polls and checked the "Hide results" checkbox AND the checkbox labeled "Make votes public: Displays all users who voted, and what choice they voted for".

All users cannot see the results but some of our users have reported that they can see the usernames of who voted in the polls while the polls are still open.

I really don't know if there is anything you can do about this but I thought I would report it anyway in case you have some idea why it is happening.

That is not really a bug. You have just turned on 2 features. It is like telling it not to tell you how many times the light has been turned on, but show me who turned it on. ;)

These 2 should not be used together.

What should I modify to allow only admin to use this poll's option (hide result)?

Has anyone installed and tested this hack on vB303...?

Hide Poll Results hack works with vB3.0.3

Today Colin F installed this hack firstly on my vB3.0.3 development/test board and it all worked OK. He then installed it onto my live www site here. It works fine.

The Hide Poll Results hack works 100% error free and though I am sure there are many good coders/developers on here, I can thoroughly recommend that anyone wanting any Mod installed you should really contact Colin F. His standard of work is superb, his customer relation skills are excellent, and he's a totally cool chap too.

He will certainly have all of my mod work... cheers Colin... :cool:

Thanks for this hack ;)

Looks great - is there a non HTL version?

ignore me - just read the readme
