[TH] Joke Poll [Deleted]

Waindigo submitted a new resource:

Joke Poll by Waindigo - Adds a joke option when creating polls that makes all votes change to the first answer.

Description:

This add-on adds a new permission to allow admins to create a joke poll that makes all votes change to the first answer.

As an example, this add-on was used as a prank by Precursor Games with great effect. See here:
http://www.precursorgames.com/forum...hange-of-engine-move-to-flash-important.1629/

Installation:

• Upload contents of upload folder to root directory, overwriting any existing files....

Precursorgames is awesome. Hopefully they will make this project happen one way or the other.

If you release this add-on around March, this add-on will be perfect.

But anyway, great stuff. Time to troll some people.

Better to release now so that by March everyone has forgotten about it.

Even better to release it yesterday.

Even better to release it yesterday.

Not sure about that. I might set up a poll on my site and let people decide.

Please be quick with it because it has to be there before yesterday!

FYI Here is some responses we got from this - thanks Jon you did a great job with this!:

Precursor you got me good I mean real good. To be honest I feel kinda bad about it In my defense I'm dead bleeping tired since I've been up since 3 AM Still that's no excuse for me screwing up so badly. There is only one thing that will fix this. If you guessed REVENGE your right Now excuse me I must drag my tired butt to my imaginary villain castle so I can make preparations for my REVENGE!

Its funny how both the demo on waindigo and the demo on precurosgames are not accessible to guests. The latter imposes 3 large widgets over it.

Glad to hear it. It is supposed to be funny!

I'm not sure it is possible to allow guests to vote in polls in XenForo anyway, so I don't think we have a choice. Regarding the precursorgames demo, you can just click on the crosses to remove the widgets.

Is the poll ID different from the thread ID? I feel dumb for asking this.

Not a stupid question. It should probably be asking for the thread ID, not the poll ID.

Then are administrators immune?

Then are administrators immune?

Administrators can just turn it off temporarily so that they can vote, and then turn it back on.

Sorry, apparently I should have started this conversation by saying that it's not working for me, but I was sure I was doing something wrong. I assumed that the thread id and poll id were different, or that administrators were immune. Apparently not. I just installed it this morning using your install and upgrade tool and I'm on 1.4. What else could I be missing?
