poll locking

Saturday 27 November 2004 3:02:30 pm

I have several polls on my site and I would like to 'lock' some of them. So that users can vote only for polls that aren't locked but view results for all of them.

Is there any mechanism in eZ that provides that functionallity?

I know that it can be done by overriding some templates, but I want to know if there's a more generic eZ solution.

Hi,

Poll i normaly object so you can build templeate for for this class and add this to view results.

{set-block scope=global variable=title}{'Poll %pollname'|i18n('design/standard/content/poll',,hash('%pollname',$node.name))}{/set-block}


 <div class="folderTitle">Poll results</div><br />

<div style="padding-left: 4px">

{section loop=$node.object.contentobject_attributes}
    {section show=$:item.contentclass_attribute.is_information_collector}
	{let  attribute=$:item
	      contentobject_attribute_id=cond($attribute|get_class|eq('ezinformationcollectionattribute'),$attribute.contentobject_attribute_id,
                                     $attribute|get_class|eq('ezcontentobjectattribute'),$attribute.id)
     contentobject_attribute=cond($attribute|get_class|eq('ezinformationcollectionattribute'),$attribute.contentobject_attribute,
			          $attribute|get_class|eq('ezcontentobjectattribute'),$attribute)
     total_count=fetch('content','collected_info_count', hash( 'object_attribute_id', $contentobject_attribute_id ) )
     item_counts=fetch('content','collected_info_count_list', hash( 'object_attribute_id', $contentobject_attribute_id  ) ) }

Just paste it into new template thet display poll results. You will get only results so your users cant`t vote for it any more.

Because in your solution the problem is just half solved, 
you only hide the form used for poll voting, 
but users can still vote for this poll by posting data in some other way.

Who will be posting data in some other way? I closed poll by viewing only results of this poll and I`m sure that nobody post data using other way. I never vot for a poll using emulator of post method ;-)

I remember that closing poll was submited as a new suggestion.
