History & Hack Information
==========================
First of all, MAJOR credit goes to Firefly and Scott MacVicar for the original creation of this hack in VB2.

I attempted to just port this over to VB3, but that did not quite happen. Most of it was rewritten, but I could not have done it without the VB2 hack as a guide.

What is Hide Poll Results ver 1?
This hack allows you to choose whether or not you want the results of your poll displayed while the polls are open. It only allows the original poll poster, admins and mods of that form to view the results of the poll and none of the regular users. They can only view the poll if the poll is closed either by a admin/mod or the poll ends.

Testing
=======
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.0 Gold, across multiple hacked and unhacked installations.
Updated For vBulletin 3.0.7 on 04/05/2005

Thanks to
=========
Firefly and Scott MacVicar for the original VB2 version and the idea.
68 Z-28 for making the request for a VB3 version.
Boofo for telling me to make it happen.
pjk for the changes to the pollresults_table TEMPLATE

About me
========
This is my first public hack release. It seems all the good ideas for VB2 had already been done by the time I got there. I am not new to php and MySQL however and I hope this is not my last release.

hey quick thing.. im totally new to php and SQL (dinasour from the CGI days) and have no idea how to enter the SQL table thing, i know this is a total newbie thing but is there an easy way to do it? do i do it from Vbulletin or through Cpanel?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You can run a SQL-command from your AdminCP->Import & Maintenance->Execute SQL Query.

If you don't see the above option, add your userid in the ./includes/config.php to the $canrunqueries variable.

Alternativly you can use something like phpMyAdmin if your host provides that.

[zoomforce]

yeah i saw the Execute SQL Query option adn i went straight for it but i press it and it says i dont have permission, i will try and add my userid to the config file that should fix that. Thanks Marco.

nice installs...this will go great with my rap battle system hack.

[SilverBoy]

nice hack, everything goes ok, but when the poll is ended by time it still hidden, but if I close it manually it appears.

I want the results shows aotumaicaly when the poll time is end

[chikkoo]

This is a very nice hack, I have been using this in 3.0.7,
but now I am using 3.5.0 and I am really handicapped without this.
Anybody converting this Mod for 3.5.0???

[Hurricane]

I am not yet running 3.5.0, but I will install it on my test server and see what I can come up with for you.

Yup! I have the same problem. What needs to be done so that the poll displayed on the vbAdvanced home page does not display the results. Thanks in advance.
