Closed Poll thread title

A user requested that if a poll is closed the thread be preceeded by Closed Poll: instead of just Poll:.

Here's a few lines of code that did it for us. (see attachment )

All you have to do is insert a few lines of code to forumdisplay.php.

Good luck, hope it helps.

History:

• 1.4
  Added closed poll functionality to search.php in showresult function.
• 1.3
  Added field to poll table lookup.
  Added condition to show poll closed when timeout has occured.
  Elimiated HTML tags for bold since the default vB prefixes are not bold.
• 1.2
  Removed HTML tag for font color.
• 1.1
  Added condition to show poll closed if thread or poll is closed.
• 1.0
  Initial release.

I have a board with multiple styles. I was wondering if there is a way to make this hack more user friendly to boards with multiple styles.

Cause I see now that you have to define the font color for the term "Closed Poll."

Well the font color wouldn't work for all styles on my board. -.-

I wanted specific highlighting. For normal text just change...

This:

PHP Code:

$thread[typeprefix]="<b><font color=#567688>Closed Poll:</b></font> "; 


To this:

PHP Code:

$thread[typeprefix]="<b>Closed Poll:</b>"; 


That should do it. If I'm not mistaken just text passed in the default var. I left the bold tag. If there is any more html, I'm sure someone will point it out.

Okay, finally got the time to get this installed, and very nice

Question, when you set a poll to be open for x number of days, when that time limit is up the poll won't let you vote anymore. However, this hack only picks it up as a "closed poll" if you edit the poll and manually close it that way.

Is there a way for it to recognize when a poll is closed due to "Time Out:"?

Very nice hack either way bud! Thanks!

I'll check the DB fields and see if that is an option.
If there is an indicator other then open or closed it can prolly be done.

[Boofo]

noppid, you should be able to use this to see if the poll is open, shouldn't you?

PHP Code:

$pollinfo[active] 


[noppid]

That var does not seem available. It looks like we'll just be doing another test on the poll field named timeout.

Look for an update today.

[noppid]

Updated code to show the thread closed if the poll timeout field is set is posted.
