Hmm, I haven't upgraded to Gold yet

But normally it should work.
I'll test that when I got time to do so.

Very nice. Though I had to make a couple of changes to get it working with 3.0.3.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

In your instructions your original code requested a find and replace for:

PHP Code:

globalize($_POST, array('pollid' => INT, 'closepoll', 'pollquestion' => STR, 'options', 'pollvotes', 'timeout')); 


while the original PHP was:

PHP Code:

globalize($_POST, array('pollid' => INT, 'closepoll', 'pollquestion' => STR, 'options', 'pollvotes', 'timeout' => INT)); 


Another find and replace requested I search for:

PHP Code:

timeout = '" . addslashes($timeout) . "' 


while the original PHP was:

PHP Code:

timeout = $timeout 


Nit picking I know, but perhaps confusing for a newbie who is expecting a carbon copy with the find and replace.

And nice to see that you have updated the instructions too.

Love your work.

Yep. As this was originally written for RC2 the code to search for was a bit different.
In the meanwhile I already updated the instructions
