I'm doing what I can. I have implemented the Archive feature Vodka was talking about when archiving a poll. I have finished implementing the feature to prevent users from voting more than once. Meaning the vote button is disabled after voting.
What I have left in mind to do is:
- Add feature to see who voted in a poll for admins and mods.
- Add feature to prevent users from viewing results before they post.
- Add the admin help for the Poll Configuration.
- Port poll mod code over to the 3.4 version. (testing it on a 3.3 version)
- Test to see if everything works ok in 3.4.
- Test to see if code works ok using mysql database. (can't test sql db)
- Write installation instructions.
And then package and upload the mod. That's what I have left to do.  |

Hey Davio, what do you think the possibilities are of making multi answer polls? Some how where you could say "choose X number of available choices" and have them as check boxes instead of radial buttons?
I'm thinking of a voting situation where there would be two positions (or more) open and there may be say 3 or more people running for the positions. Just a thought.

Can imagine if that's what I have left to do, what have I been doing all this time?
My things to do for the Poll Mod is a long list.
pknaz, that topic has been brought up a few times. And my response is I am not considering implementing such a feature. I might be persuaded to do it for a future version. Or you could do an add-on for it to include that feature. You don't have to wait on me to code these features.
This mod is getting to be a really large mod as more requests are coming in for more features. Even some users are using it for thier site along with thier forum.
I can't add anymore features to this version otherwise these poll hungry users will come and get me. So I just want to finish what I have left to do and get it out. |

THAT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT? Lets see, about 24 hours to complete... 24 hours in a day...Okay, it should be ready real soon!!!!! 
Thanks for the status report. I'll rearrange my implementation plans a little. Not a big deal. I'd rather have a solid MOD than have it out too soon. And from what I have read on the forums, you are a great developer.
Looking forward to it!
Mike

 Looks like nobody is interested in this topic ... only 10,400+ views in a month? You'd think they didn't care about a poll mod. |

I actually would say yes, what Davio doesn't know is that he is like many of us here and does not sleep. Not only that, but I feel there will be a 10 hour gap that he will not remember tonight and everything that needed to be coded will just be done when he suddenly awakens from his living dream. Some advice for you Davio: Check your wallet, hope your pants are up, and go check that computer  |

Maybe a stupid qeustion: I've downloaded one of the files for the poll mod - installed it - and I can't make it work. I do not see at configurationlink in the admin-options...
My question: Does it work in the latest edition of snitz released mid september... Or should I wait for any upgrades?
Best regards

Note: I won't be updating the 3.1 or the 3.3 version anymore. My main focus is on the 3.4 version of the polls. The 3.4 version will have new features included in it. Along with bug fixes that users have reported. The code has been cleaned up a lot. You can visit my forum to see the new version. I will bre releasing it hopefully for the 3.4.03 version of the Snitz Forums.
Recent modifications I have made to Slemieux's original Poll mod:
Upcoming 3.4 version features:
- New tables POLLS and POLL_VOTES for the polls and the members votes.
- Featured poll moved to an include file: inc_poll.asp.
- More poll answers (15 in total)
- Admin option to choose how many answers a poll can have.
- User option to reset poll votes.
- User option to close poll without closing the topic.
- User option to choose who can vote in thier poll: Members Only or Everyone
- Admin option to choose which forum users can create a new poll.
- Admin option per forum, to choose who can create a new poll in that forum: Everyone or Admins/Moderators Only.
- Admin option to open featured poll in a new window.
- Added date selector for Active Polls page.
- Fixed bug when moving a poll from one forum to another.
- Added admin help for the poll configuration.
- Modified all SQL queries for the polls to be more efficient. Some queries were calling un-needed data.
- Modified search.asp and active.asp so you can see which topic is a poll.
- Modified the poll text beside a topic.
Was: "This is a new poll (poll)"
Now: "Poll: This is a new poll"
INSTALLATION/UPGRADE:
Please read the readme.txt file that is included. It also includes a FAQ section to common questions that you might ask about the mod.

You need to wait for the next version of the poll mod that Davio is currently working on.
Just a small note, you should read the posts on this thread cause that would answer your question without someone getting upset cause you didn't take the time to read em. |
