Miscellaneous Hacks - Unvote in Polls (Free Version) by BOP5 (Change your vote)

Brought to You By BirdOPrey5

Version 1.1.1

This is a mod that lets users "unvote" from a poll. After unvoting they are free to vote again so it effectively lets them change their vote.

You can specify whether users are able to unvote from closed polls or not. (By default they are not.)

This is the FREE version. It allows all users to "unvote" from all polls in all forums.

The GOLD version is available here: Unvote in Polls GOLD by BOP5

The GOLD version has 3 additional features:

• Restrict unvoting to specific usergroups
• Restrict unvoting to specifc forums
• Basic integration with points mods to reduce points or reputation after a user unvotes

This mod is compatible with all VB 3.8.x and 4.x.x versions released to date. I expect it will work with earlier VB versions as well but have not tested it.

There are several phrases for easy translation. Exact phrase info is in the info.txt file included in the zip.

Please Note:
If the "Unvote" link is "invisible" in your style (and it probably will be) add this code to your additional.css template:

#bop5unvote_link {color: blue;}

Where the "color" is any valid HTML or color code. Examples:
red, blue, green, #C0C0C0, #00FF00, etc...


Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

Where do we go to change the wording unvote to "change vote"

[BirdOPrey5]

They are all phrases and can be edited via Phrase Manager in Admin CP:

From the info.txt file:

This mod uses several phrases.

GLOBAL Phrases:
bop5_ unvote - Unvote (used for the actual link)
bop5_ unvote_ title - This will remove your vote(s) in this poll. (Used for the tool-tip on mouse-over of the link)

Front End Redirect Messages:
bop5_ uv_ unvoted - You have successfully unvoted. (Used to show a message after a user unvotes in a poll)

Updated version number to 1.1 to match Gold version number. No need to upgrade free version.

Consider adding an option to make polls private or public along with respective ugp.

Funny how features in the JIRA for years now are so simple to create yourself, isn't it?

You can already make a public poll private by editing the poll- the opposite doesn't work, I assume for privacy reasons.

I was able to make a mod to let admins (or any usergroups) see who voted even in private polls: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=281116

Well you can see who voted in a private poll in the ACP lol. Just food for thought, would be useful to be able to change a private poll to public without running a query.

Can you add option to give user the ability to only be able to un-vote once per poll?
