Polls Made Simple: Can't Close Polls

[Ziggywigged]

Hello,

I'm using CMSMS 1.2.5 and polls MS 0.2.0. I just closed 2 polls in the admin and it seemed successful but they are not closed on the front-end. You can still vote but admin has them labeled as closed.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is caching turned off for those pages?

No. Both polls are on the same page and the page is 'Cachable'.

[Nullig]

Try making the page not cacheable.

Just tried and they're still open. Even looked at the db entries for both polls and both have a value '1' for 'closed'.

Anyone else experience this issue? Still can't get them to close.

I noticed a few bugs in the forge for that version of Polls. Try the earlier one, it might work better.

Hey there,

got the same problem with closing polls. Here is how to fix it:

Open action.default.php
search for:

Code: Select all

$q="SELECT id FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."module_polls WHERE poll_id = ? ORDER BY createtime DESC";

and replace it with:

Code: Select all

$q="SELECT id,closed FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."module_polls WHERE poll_id = ? ORDER BY createtime DESC";

then search:

Code: Select all

if ($this->UserAlreadyVoted($pollid)) {

and replace with:

Code: Select all

if (($this->UserAlreadyVoted($pollid)) or ($row["closed"]==1)) {

Now all polls wich are closed are not votable anymore because the results are shown.
