End-User Options - Sakera's Hide Poll Results

What is this?

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:

• 1.3 - First VB4 Release

• 1.5 - 4.1.7 Release - Thanks to snoopytas

Sakera,
Thank you for the update on the poll bars!

How would I create a poll widget that hides the poll results and votes as well?

[Sakera]

That would require modifying the widget itself - i've not yet started work on that

[GONUMBER6]

I want to be the first to know when you do! Thanks for your mod, I appreciate it!

I like this. I suggest that you add the option "show results once a user has voted". that's a pretty common setting.

Hi texasteamplayer,

I suggest that you add the option "show results once a user has voted". that's a pretty common setting.

This is a thing I also suggest. Well, I don't have a use for the option "Hide poll results" like it is in the mod, so I changed the the plugin "Remove results view from poll.php" to

PHP Code:

if ((!$uservoted && !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'caneditpoll') && !$showresults) || $nopermission) 
{

  if (($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 1) && (!($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $threadinfo['postuserid'])))
  {
    $option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
    $option['barnumber'] = 1;
//        $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
        $option['percent'] = 0;
        $option['percentraw'] = 0;
        $option['remainder'] = 201;
        $show['pollvoters'] = TRUE;
  }

  elseif ($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 2)
  {
        if (!(!$pollinfo['active'] OR ($pollinfo['dateline'] + ($pollinfo['timeout'] * 86400) < TIMENOW AND $pollinfo['timeout'] != 0)))
    {
      $option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
      $option['barnumber'] = 1;
//          $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
          $option['percent'] = 0;
          $option['percentraw'] = 0;
          $option['remainder'] = 201;
          $show['pollvoters'] = FALSE;
        }
  }
} 


an I changed the plugin "Remove results view from showthread.php" to

PHP Code:

if ((!$uservoted && !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'caneditpoll') && !$showresults) || $nopermission)
{

 if ($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 1 && (!($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $threadinfo['postuserid'])))
 {

    $option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
    $option['barnumber'] = 1;
//        $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
        $option['percent'] = 0;
        $option['percentraw'] = 0;
        $option['remainder'] = 201;
 }
 elseif ($pollinfo['hidden_results'] == 2)
 {
        if (!(!$pollinfo['active'] OR ($pollinfo['dateline'] + ($pollinfo['timeout'] * 86400) < TIMENOW AND $pollinfo['timeout'] != 0)))
    {
      $option['graphicnumber'] = 1;
      $option['barnumber'] = 1;
//          $option['votes'] = $vbphrase[hidden_results_statement];
          $option['percent'] = 0;
          $option['percentraw'] = 0;
          $option['remainder'] = 201;
        }
 }
} 


directly in the Plugin manager.

With a little time it should not be a problem to add this option ...

Best regards

Upgraded to 4.0.4 and this mod still works perfectly.

[Drpepper99uk]

Hi,

I'm running 4.0.3 and I don't seem to have the option to show/hide results when the poll has finished, it's strange as I used to be able to select this option and now I can't and all I see is this when starting a poll on my forums:



How has this happened? I only have the option to not select make votes public and there is not option to have the result shown for admin/mods only.

Mike.

[Drpepper99uk]

Hi again,

Just seen on my forums that "enable hooks was added to my config.php so this is why it wouldn't work properly.

All sorted now!!

Mike.
