OK, thanks. In the end I added "&& ($username ne '')" to the first 2 IFs.

Great hack, thanks.

Has anyone got an answer to my question above in regards to hiding the poll results?

it's not in the hack yet, but i think its a good idea!

Well, I'm kinda new to the UBB setup, so I'll play around with it and see, but don't count on me being able to do it. If anyone can come up with it, would be awesome.

HI

I don't know if this was ever presented but does this poll have an IP (or other) verification to limit one vote per poll? If it isn't part of the hack it may be a good feature to prevent users from creating unreliable results. My thoughts anyway.

THANKS

each member may vote once... thats the only verification it has.

HI!

Thks jordo for that update. I'll certainly try it and let you know how it goes.

THANKS
PrimeTime

Hiya, any word yet on having a selection so that you can hide poll results? See my previous 3 posts.

sorry i must have missed it. anyway, you can hide poll results by editing the poll after it is posted. ive been meaning to get around to adding it as a option when posting the poll but havent had time to.

Sorry Jordo, must have mssed the fact that you can hide the results in the edit poll section.

Next question, how do I get the damn thing back? It now shows that the poll is unavailable for viewing, but I can't see how to re-show it.

edit it again and youll see the "hide results?" checkbox is checked... uncheck it and submit.

I have the same question, i hide the results, then there is no option that says edit poll, all it says is "The results of this poll are currently unavailable for viewing"

admins should always be able to view the poll, even if the results are hidden...

Nope, I don't get the edit poll option either and I am the only admin for the board. I have 5 moderators, but I am the only admin for the board. I don't see the poll results or the edit poll button after I hide the results.

If I can get this sorted out, maybe it's quick and easy to have the person who posted the poll the option aswell to hide results.

Can a check be put in that makes sure that user with no posting rights cannot cast a vote?

I would like a response to why I can't change the view poll results now? Any one with any ideas?

AAHH, this is frustrating. My polls are gone, and I cant bring the ones I hid the results for back. ANYONE?????

a URL would help.

For those who cannot "UN-HIDE" there polls, go to that poll's thread, look at the web addy in the address bar, ie.. blahblah/cgi/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000076

and change the "get_topic" to "poll_edit" ie...
blahblah/cgi/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll_edit&f=1&t=000076
Peace out...

I would like to see another little enhancement I use UBB as a 'backbone' for a homepage. I use several little hacks such as ubbnews or calendar and include ssi call in my page.

Now another fine feature is a poll on the homepage itself. I dont like to use an external cgi script for this. I already have ypur fine poll hack in ubb6.05 and look for a solution to bring this on my homepage.

My suggestion: a little ssi script wh grab a poll from a board (ala ubbnews) to display them on the homepage. A second script to display the results on the homepage.

So i don'T have any trouble with unregistred users.

What Do you think ? Will this be possible in some time ? Anyone else who need such a feature ?

There are many Poll scripts out there for HTML pages so I suggest you use them...

After I installed the poll, the admin functions dident work. Like sticky threads, move, deleted and close. And I forgot to backup the files
I know I just can overtwrite all the files and then everything will work but all the work I have done instlling hacks to it. Heres the error I get :

Content-type: text/html

Software error:

Can't localize lexical variable @topic_file at /blabla/bla/bla/bla/blabla/blabla/cgi-bin//ubb_topic_maint.cgi line 158.

I get that error all the time.

Sigve - version? url?

I dont think you guys would like the content of the website, so I keep it private It`s not warez or any illegal stuff. but..hehe

I`m running 6.04c..I got 6.2, but I dont want to lose all the nice hacks I installed

Man. My cp is not a dropdown menu. The poll think is at the tp corner instead of at micelanuis. Please tell me how I can fix this.
