This update hides the results of polls until a specified number of days have passed.

When you create a poll, you will set a number of days before the poll closes. The poll results will remain hidden until that number of days have passed, and at the time of the poll's creation, it will automatically close and allow the results to be viewed.

If you edit a closed poll and use any positive integer for the days, it will reopen the poll and hide the results pending the new date. If you edit a poll that is still open, it will simply change the closing date until the new number of days is reached.

For those who already downloaded this sub-mod, a small change needs to be made to prevent system errors if someone puts a value other than a whole number in the quantity of days field. Please edit the first section of the mod's code in "post_info.asp" as follows:


Look for these lines (appx 71-80):

'	##	Poll Below
If Request.Form("PEndDate")>"" Then
	If isNumeric(Request.Form("PEndDate")) and Request.Form("PEndDate")>0 Then
		strNewDate=datetostr(DateAdd("d",Request.Form("PEndDate"),strtoDate(strForumTimeAdjust)))
	ElseIf Request.Form("PEndDate")=0 Then
		strNewDate=DatetoStr(strForumTimeAdjust)
	End If
End If
'	##	Poll Above

Replace them with the following:

'	##	Poll Below
If Request.Form("PEndDate")>"" Then
	If isNumeric(Request.Form("PEndDate")) and Request.Form("PEndDate")>"0" Then
		strNewDate=datetostr(DateAdd("d",cInt(Request.Form("PEndDate")),strtoDate(strForumTimeAdjust)))
	ElseIf Request.Form("PEndDate")="0" Then
		strNewDate=DatetoStr(strForumTimeAdjust)
	Else
		Go_Result	"Number of days must be an positive number.",0
	End If
End If
'	##	Poll Above

I suppose I should look into incorporating this into the .Net version as I have included Polls in the base code may be a little more difficult though, as in the .Net version you can actually create a poll using forumcode tags, will take a look and see what I can do.

Don't envy you that job, not sure I would learn .Net coding at all, especially since my brain behaves like a bowl of silly putty some days.

you would be surprised, it is not as daunting as you think and a lot easier than classic ASP

The difference is that I learned classic ASP before my dementia and short-term memory issues. Now I meet someone and within 30 seconds, I've forgotten their name. Within 5 minutes after we separate, I've forgotten the meeting. Learning new programming languages or words in a new language are almost impossible for me.

That would make it a little more difficult however using something like Visual Studio would help as code insight means you don't have to remember everything, just a few basics which knowing classic ASP you already have a fair grasp of, you should give it a try, you never know, it might even help by giving your brain a bit of a work out.

I'm the same but put it down to age

As for languages - I struggle with my native tongue at times (English) and all that seems to come out is gobeleygook
