[Hawkgirl]

Surely a smart person with time on his/her hands could update this for 4.1 ...

Anyone here can help?

Any version 4 for this?

I have the same problem as many others.

This is an incredible hack, but the problem with not allowing to vote is very annoying.
If you already voted on that poll, the results will show up just fine.

I hope ry215, find time to update this into a working version.

Thanks.

Just an update for those who had troubles with polls not submitting in pages other than index.
I made a fairly simple workaround, so you can show the polls in other pages and the voting works correctly.

In vB options, you need to set the polls to show on Index, choose the ThreadID option.
The fix is in the plugin Sidebar Poll Include and this simple replacement does the trick.

Find this (Line 3):

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index') 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread') 


You may change THIS_SCRIPT locations as you wish.

Hope that helps.
Val.

After voting, it takes people to the thread. Is there a way to redirect them back to the index instead?
