Show Thread Enhancements - Sakera's Hide Poll Results

What is this?

I looked around for a hack to hide poll results, but didn't find any hack that suited my needs, and let users hide results for specific polls.

This Modification lets your users hide poll results for everyone but Moderators and Administrators, and the thread owner himself. They can choose to hide the results forever, or to show them automatically when the thread is closed or hit timeout.

Please see attached screenshots to get an idea on how it works.


Features
- Hide poll results forever
- Hide poll results until poll is closed or poll hits timeout.
- Shows a notice to Users that see the results (Moderators, Admin and thread starter) that the results are hidden.
- Moderators and Admin's can change settings via 'Edit Poll'


Template Edits
All template edits are done automaticly when needed. Hopefully this doesn't break in situations with hacked templates, if so happens please notify me what hack caused the problem.


Version History:[/size]

• 1.0 BETA - First beta release
• 1.1 - Fixed bug: "The results are hidden for everyone but ..." text showed for owner and moderators even if the results where not hidden.
• 1.2 - Fixed bug: Bug showing voters when it was a public poll. Bug with clear.gif revealing poll status.
  
  

Please click INSTALL if you use this hack.

I've come across a view bugs with this hack so far. The first is, if you have the pollid and the the poll is set to hidden but is a public poll, you can see everyone who voted and thus can tell what the results are even though the actual number is obscured.

The second one is a bit more interesting:


If you mouse over the poll, you get the reverse order of the results. So Yes in that poll has zero votes (so the bar extends to the end), No has 11 of 14 (and therefore is the shortest) and abstain has 3 votes and therefore is the second shortest. It's not exact but it gives you sufficient information to tell whose winning, how close someone is being second, etc.

I've uploaded a bug fix - v2 to resolve above errors.

Excellent. I can confirm that the clear.gif fix works.

I agree. I installed it and it works great, but restriction only for admins would be really useful. Sakera, please, tell us how to do it ;-).

You have to remove mod's ability to edit the poll.

Because even if i remove the result view from moderators, they can edit the poll to get the results that way.

When their access to edit the poll is removed, the results view also will be gone, i believe

Excellent mod... 5 stars! Thank you... this was exactly what I was looking for.

installed in 3.7.3 PL1 and is working OK

I would like to have this mod such as it only allows admins and moderators to use it, and not regular members.

How do I do this?

[Jinovich]

How could I make this so only admins can have the option to hide the results? I have tried loads of different ways and no way has worked.
