Poll Start - End - Days Run/Remaining Hack v1.1 · **Released**: 03-24-2003

Poll Start - End - Days Run/Remaining Hack
Version 1.1
(By Boofo and Zzed)

What this hack does:

It will list the Start Date, End Date, Days to Run and the Days remaining for a poll in both the forumdisplay (under the thread title) and the showthread (under the poll question or status). If the poll does not have an ending time, the Start Date, End Date, Days to Run and Days Remaining will not show up.

Files to edit: 2 (forumdisplay.php, showthread.php)
Templates to edit: 3 (forumdisplaybit, showthread_polloptions, showthread_pollresults)
Install Time: 5 minutes (if you are REALLY slow)

Version 1.0 - Initial release
Version 1.1 - Fixed the error that a few people were having with the poll start and end time showing up in each thread instead of just the thread it was intended for.

French translation of this hack in post 7.

If you really think about it, that is the main backbone of vBulletin. I love the $ourtimenow variable. Can't get enough of it.

And Zzed came up with the core of the code. I just re-worked it to fit what we needed.

Very nice Boofo. Well done my friend.

And thank you for your kind words.

I installed it in vb 2.3.0 and it seams to be showing in almost all the threads :surprised: Something in the forumdisplay.php ??

Boofo · #18 03-26-2003, 04:58 AM

If you have a start time and end time configured with the poll, it will show. It you don't have an ending time configured, it will not show. Check your polls and see how many of them are set up with the start and end time.

NO, sorry my fault. Perhaps i should include a screenshot to explain

They all have the same start and end date as the test poll i just posted. so if you set all the polls of the forum not to time out it does not display like the screenshot

Ok, make sure you edit the "forumdisplaybit" template with:

$thread[pagenav]$pollrun

I had that happen as I was putting this together before I added:

PHP Code:


			
    } else {

    $pollrun = '';

to the code but that fixed it on my site.

Please recheck the instructions and make sure everything is there and let me know. There's really no way that should be happening unless you either missed a piece of code or got it in the wrong place.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
