Yep, here it is, the poll hack for vBulletin, tested on 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 Beta3.

The hack incorparates a poll as a thread starter, where users can vote and reply normally. You can view the test forum at http://www.naboonline.com/polltest/index.php

I hope the instructions are clear, any questions should go here.

Download the zip here!

Enjoy!

I have one little snag - when I try to change my usergroups to "allow polls" and then submit, it still goes back to "no". It's like it won't let me change that field from "no" but will allow me to change any other field.

Any ideas?

wierd, it works on my 1.1.3b3 and my test 1.1.2 board. Can the usergroups post polls though?

I tried re-coding the usergroups file and I'm not sure what I did differently, but it seemed to work for the registered users, but not for the admin usergroup.

Suggestion: maybe for future versions, instead of using an entire "replace" field for the long strings, you can tell us what to "add" instead. Ed has us "replacing" for his PM hack, and then this tells us to "replace" to - but the two conflicted so I lost something.

Excellent feature though, I love it - now if I could just get the admin (me) to be able to create poll posts!

you can edit manually the sql tables, look for your usergroup and set canpostpoll to 1.

but highly wierd

Same thing with super-mods - can't post polls.

Has anyone else got this working that is using the PM hack or is it just me?

Hi,
look at http://www.abflussfrei.com/forum/ (it?s my playground..)
Everything?s ok there in Germany

Did you run the makeprivtables.php from the pm-hack and the makepolltables.php from the poll-hack?

bye,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Sure did. The PMs are working fine, and with regard to the polls, only registered users are able to post polls even though now I have told admins, super mods and registered users should have priviledges to post polls.

(Where in Germany?)

#19 07-17-2000, 06:29 PM

did you set the "number of posts for polls" to 0? maybe that fixes it

#20 07-17-2000, 06:45 PM

I'm going to try a fresh install without the PM hack (gotta love having a test board) to see what happens. Be right back!
