Hide Poll Results

Firefly has a hardcoded version of this for hacker of the month, it 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.

Relatively simple install, just two templates and two php files, though editing poll.php will be one of the more lengthy tasks.

This was tested on vB 2.2.6 and won't work without some editing on versions before as the multiple choice poll was introduced in the 2.2.x series and there is some reference to this in the queries, if you remove the references to these it should work.

[Psychdrone]

are you able to set it to on or off, or to indivisual polls?

When you post a poll there will be a tick box which allows you to select if the poll results are hidden or not.

It works not correctly.
In the Moment Users can't see the Polls. But Guests can see them. In this Forum Guests has no Admittance to vote on Polls. But when they Click on "View" they see it.

If you want to see it, look in the Forum in my Sig. It's in German. You can see a Sample in "Verein", the 2nd Forum.

Is there anyway to NOT show the "bars" and jsut put a message saying :

"Thank you for voting, results will be posted at a later time" or something like that?

what part on Poll.php can I edit so the bars wont show.

[M.Smith]

thanx Scott,
needed this one and im gonna install it later!
BTW: i doubt u know who i am but on your forums im called TiNmAn!!! :china:

Anyway to not show the "0%" results but show instead a message saying "Thanks for voting; results will be shown at the closing of this poll".

I think its "unnecessary" to show the "results" if its just going to remain at 0% when you "hide" the results.

Which template/php file must I edit to change this?
