Poll Start - End - Days Run/Remaining Hack v1.1

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.

ok i have removed $pollrun now it will work :classic: I hope so :bunny:

[Boofo]

Ok, we think some global info might be carrying over to the other polls. Try this fix and it should take care of any problems you guys have been having with this hack.

Look for:

PHP Code:

if($thread[pollid]) {
  $polldatetime = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline, timeout from poll where pollid = $thread[pollid];"); 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

if($thread[pollid]) {
  $pollrun = "";
  $polldatetime = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline, timeout from poll where pollid = $thread[pollid];"); 


[subu1]

sorry,it work not

[Zzed]

Try this:

PHP Code:

$pollrun = "";
if($thread[pollid]) {
  $polldatetime = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline, timeout from poll where pollid = $thread[pollid];");

Look guys,

All you need to do is *remove* what I said above and the dang hack will work without error.

It worked for me ... that whole bit of code is un-necessary

That whole bit of code is if you want the poll start and end date in the foumdisplay, also. That was the original idea for the hack.
