Polls only in certain forums

[Boofo]

Is there a way to only allow polls in certain forums? I want to be able to turn it off in some forums and leave it on in others.

since you already installed advanced templates, you can edit newthread template and disable "submit poll" checkbox according to forumid and usergroupid variables..

Dang! Why didn't I think of that? I have been using your hack for almost everything and that didn't even occur to me. DOHH!!! Dummy me. Thanks for reminding me of that.

It's not actually the hack requested in this thread. It's moreover a mechanism (kinda way to program your templates) so it can be used in this way too..

actually, this can be done in the forum permissions section of the control panel. It has to be done per usergroup, but it can be done.

Sinan, it worked like a charm. A simple

[[($forumid==38)]]
$polloptions
[[/($forumid==38)]]

took care of my problem. Thanks again.

Also, is there a way to do an array for more forums here or would I have to do the "$forumid==38 OR $forumid==41 OR $forumid==112" code?

I say use this:

[[($forumid==38 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)]]
$polloptions
[[/($forumid==38 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)]]

You're right, as usual. The wife even caught me on that one. I better watch myself with you two around.

By the way, what does this mean? "latter"

What the lady said.

BTW, templates are never the solution for denying permissions. All they can do is remove the interface but people can still send the actual data.
