Extension Download: wolfsblvt.advancedpolls.zip

GitHub Repository: http://github.com/Wolfsblvt/advancedpolls/
(Just for viewing purposes, do not install this extension from GitHub!)

More Information:
This extension is based on some event requests, here and here
There are some features missing in the core poll system of phpBB that I need for my forum, and I think it will be useful for others too, so I decided to combine the use cases for modifying the poll system and create one extension for this. Here is it now!
If you have suggestions, I would be glad (:

If you don't like the styling of the poll voters list, it can be easily modified in css, even with limiting the usernames displayed, etc.

First time I'll support subsilver2. I'll not use that style, so I will not test it very intensively. But if you have any issues, I'll look into it (:
This extension is fully compatible with the new ajax calls where the site isn't reloaded when you vote.

If have two suggestions for features, wich I don't really need, but if someone is interested in, I would do and include them.

Bug reports for this extension in this thread please, or on GitHub.

Changelog:
Actual Version
**************

-- Version 1.1.0-b1 --------------
• Included dutch, russion and italian translation
• Reduced required PHP version to 5.3.3
• Added travis testing for repository
• Fix settings lost on preview
• Implemented "Don't want to vote" option
• Implemented default option for phpBB core options for polls

###########################################################################
Past Versions
*************

-- Version 1.0.1 --------------
• Included spanish, french and swedish translation
• Fixed clipping issue in options on small resolution
• Typo in language files

-- Version 1.0.0 --------------
• First implementation for 3.1
• Implemented workaround for missing events


Events missing:
This extension is based on one template event, that is missing in phpBB 3.1.2 and lower. I'll try to add it to phpBB as soon as the BugTracker is back, so that it may be included in 3.1.3. But don't worry, there is a workaround included in this extension, wich uses another event and moves the html to the right position. Not the best, but it works (:
If you want to speed it up, you can add the events yourself to your phpBB core files:

prosilver
Open posting_poll_body.html and find:

Code: Select all

				<dt><label for="poll_vote_change">{L_POLL_VOTE_CHANGE}{L_COLON}</label></dt>
				<dd><label for="poll_vote_change"><input type="checkbox" id="poll_vote_change" name="poll_vote_change"{VOTE_CHANGE_CHECKED} /> {L_POLL_VOTE_CHANGE_EXPLAIN}</label></dd>
			</dl>
		<!-- ENDIF -->
Add after:

Code: Select all

		<!-- EVENT posting_poll_body_options_after -->
subsilver2
Open posting_poll_body.html and find:

Code: Select all

		<td class="row1"><b class="genmed">{L_POLL_VOTE_CHANGE}{L_COLON}</b><br /><span class="gensmall">{L_POLL_VOTE_CHANGE_EXPLAIN}</span></td>
		<td class="row2"><input type="checkbox" class="radio" name="poll_vote_change"{VOTE_CHANGE_CHECKED} /></td>
	</tr>
<!-- ENDIF -->
Add after:

Code: Select all

<!-- EVENT posting_poll_body_options_after -->

I have not tried it yet but I notice that there are permissions. Does this mean that Admins and/or mods can see who has voted, and how, but members cannot?

There is a permission for who can see poll voters if they are enabled.
By default, it is set to registered users (to prevent guests from seeing private data), but you can also change it to just admins/mods (:
But there is no option to see voters if the option is not enabled in this topic or the votes are hidden cause the poll still runs.

The results are hidden until you vote. Or do you mean that you cannot click on "show votes" until you have voted yourself?

Will there be voting for guests? Without it the polls are usless, in my opinion.

Why not possible to install from GitHub ZIP file directly ?
Can't you include... what's not included on GH files ?

GH gives me RSS in fact to see if an extension has been updated :p
