Show Thread Enhancements - Sakera's Hide Poll Results

What is this?

I looked around for a hack to hide poll results, but didn't find any hack that suited my needs, and let users hide results for specific polls.

This Modification lets your users hide poll results for everyone but Moderators and Administrators, and the thread owner himself. They can choose to hide the results forever, or to show them automatically when the thread is closed or hit timeout.

Please see attached screenshots to get an idea on how it works.


Features
- Hide poll results forever
- Hide poll results until poll is closed or poll hits timeout.
- Shows a notice to Users that see the results (Moderators, Admin and thread starter) that the results are hidden.
- Moderators and Admin's can change settings via 'Edit Poll'


Template Edits
All template edits are done automaticly when needed. Hopefully this doesn't break in situations with hacked templates, if so happens please notify me what hack caused the problem.


Version History:[/size]

• 1.0 BETA - First beta release
• 1.1 - Fixed bug: "The results are hidden for everyone but ..." text showed for owner and moderators even if the results where not hidden.
• 1.2 - Fixed bug: Bug showing voters when it was a public poll. Bug with clear.gif revealing poll status.
  
  

Please click INSTALL if you use this hack.

As the author of this hack for version 3.0 I thank you for creating this one. I don't have a constant need for this hack, but when I do need it, it is nice to have.

For the record, I too have the issue with vbadvanced, but I just turned off the poll module until my polls are over. (I only use this once or twice a year.)

I am sorry, I don't have vBadvanced installed, and i don't have the time to spare to do the job. Maybe Someone with vBadvanced and some coding knowledge can take a look at the problem, and reply to me, then i can update the hack.

Will this work with V 3.8?

[pianetadown]

This hack is very useful but I have request regarding one issue.

Creating new poll is OK but when author, mod or admin edit the poll, setting from this hack dissapears, results are visible to everyone and there is no way to set it again, only delete the poll and create new one :-(. When the poll is edited, in the form of its settings are not 3 radio buttons from this hack like when is creating new one.

Sakera, do you know how to correct this please? Our moderators would be really grateful :-).

Any update for 4.0?

[Sakera]

There will be, but i'm not giving a time estimate. It will be done as soon as i upgrade my vb to v4, i've bought it but not set a date i will start testing/upgrading.
