This seems to be a popular request, and one that I needed, so I've chosen to release it here.

Please note that I've only tested this on 3.6.4, and haven't yet tried all poll combinations (eg multiple, etc.). However I see no reason why this wouldn't work with them. This is also my first publicly released mod, so be kind!

Features
  • Hides poll results until a user has voted on said poll.
  • Results are shown once said poll is closed.
  • Moderators and admin are exempt and can view results of all polls at all times.
  • Unregistered, Users awaiting Email Confirmation, etc are shown 'Please register to view poll.' message.
Installation
  1. Upload product-pyrix_hidepoll.xml as a product in your admin control panel
  2. Click Install.
  3. ???
  4. PROFIT!!!
Notes

I used Chris M's 'Hide Poll Results' as a reference, as that's what we had before (but it was a bit too aggressive and kept everything hidden whether you'd voted or not). So apologies to him if some of the code looks a bit familiar in places, but there are only so many ways of doing it.

Please also note that the code isn't particularly efficient, as it does a lot of processing that it doesn't need to. However this should have a very small impact and means that there are no file or template edits involved with this mod. Basically, I'm lazy.

I'm interested in preventing ALL users, whether they've voted or not, from seeing the results until the poll is CLOSED.

Example, a week-long online election, where votes are private, and the results are only visible to ALL users after the voting is closed.

Can your code be made to do this? Or is there some other mod that would fit the bill? Have looked but come up empty.

I hired the work done.

There is now a new "property" for each poll created, with four possible values:
  • Don't hide results (current default)
  • Hide results till user votes
  • Hide results from all users till poll closes
  • Hide results forever
The ability/permission to CREATE polls with hidden results is configurable by usergroup.

So is the ability/permission to VIEW hidden results (presuming one doesn't meet the other criteria established).

It's working really well for "secret ballot" type votes, where we don't wish to reveal the results till the voting is closed.

or others know of something that will achieve this on 3.7?
