End-User Options - Sakera's Hide Poll Results

What is this?

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:

• 1.3 - First VB4 Release
• 1.4 - 4.0.2 Release
• 1.5 - 4.1.7 Release - Thanks to snoopytas

Awesome Sakera! Thank you!

Is there a way to hide results from the thread starter as well? Basically, I'd like only Admin to see results. Even if it's putting a is_not_member conditional around a certain section of a template, any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

One feature I'd like to request for any future updates would be the ability to hide/show results by usergroup(s).

That is simply a matter of removing

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $threadinfo['postuserid']

from the conditionals in some of the plugins, and the or separator of cource.

I do not have any imediate plans on extending this modification, other than fixing bugs etc. It's a simple construction put together to fit this exact need, and i think it's time vbulletin gave the poll system a little work instead of relying on a modification for such basic behaviour

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for updating this mod, I really appreciate it as you know I use this mod a lot with my photography forums for my members to vote of which photo's they like best and having a cut off time period for voting and the results not shown till the end is great....why VB couldn't have this added themselves with 4.0 released is crazy!!!

Great work, Shame not all coders on here wish to updates their mods to support 4.0.

Mike.

Does everything work ok? Havent upgraded to v4 myself yet, so havent tested the modification properly myself

[Veer]

Yeah, works good on vb4 gold

I can't believe this is not included by default in vb4.

I tried to modify existing poll after installing mod but don't see option to hide results. Where should the settings be?

I think you should make it so after the vote is over or when you decide to, make it so you can make the results viewable..

What i want to do is make it so when I feel the vote is over or w/e I can use the edit poll function and uncheck the hide poll results and close the poll so users can see what the end result was. that way the poll remains private, yet at the end they can see the results.
