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
• 1.4 - 4.0.2 Release
• 1.5 - 4.1.7 Release - Thanks to snoopytas

BTW: It worked for me because we had modified it for our site. This is a generic 4.1.7 version.

Thanks for that, and the PM!

Not working in 4.1.8 do you think the 4.1.7 will work?

EDIT: Yes, it worked.

The hack works for 4.1.8 using my code -- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=38

Is there any way that you can set only certain usergroups to have the ability to create a poll that hides the results? I want to be able to do it as admin, but not allow others.

[Sakera]

Vissa, no this was not build in to the original code. Would have to be done as custom plugin code, put isn't too advanced.

I'm had a PM dialogue with Sakera ... he will post my 4.1.7+ code in the main product header :up:

The version 4.1.7/1.5 update breaks forum rendering for me. I had to uninstall and then re-install the older version. I see that a <ul class="checkradio group"> tag was added without a corresponding </ul> closing tag...could this be the problem?

[AusPhotography]

The UL tag is closed, have a look at the code.
Something else must be happening.
It works fine for me on 4.1.8 (and did on 4.1.7).

BTW the code is <ul class="group checkradio rightcol"> -- check what was downloaded?

When view the poll with results hidden the text the results are hidden is not lined up with the poll option, but are offset down from it. I've checked this on firefox, IE, and chrome with 4.1.8. Aside from that it works great.

EDIT: It would also be nice if the results are hidden text was shown only once per poll instead of once per option.

This is really what I am looking for as well. I looked at the code posted but I don't want to over write the other options I just want this option added. Let's see it!
