I can create a new Topic and add a poll, it works fine.

But when I try to add Poll for already existing my Topic I can't do it. Nothing happens.

So how to fix it when "edit" or how to disable adding a Poll when user want to edit a post?

Thnx

Hi mate

You asked me: how to disable adding a Poll when user want to edit a post?

Go to admin backend

• klick on Rolle Permissions
• now edit the User permissions like you want (poll settings are at the very bottom)

Kind regards, WebCrew

@WebCrew thx for quick answr.

But you misunderstood the bug.

Here is my User permissions:

So the bug is next:

Try to edit your post https://codologic.com/forum/index.php?u=/topic/13592/link-to-freichat-documentation-is-dead

and add a Poll. You can do it. But the Poll will not appear

Now I understand you well, we'll ask the team about it, because it could either be an error, or it's intended that you can't add polls to a topic afterwards.

@admin and @adesh would you be so kind and explain it to him please.

Kind regards, WebCrew

yep

This seems like a bug. We have noted it down and will decide on the correct fix in the next version.

Okay. This is what I do and get some results

Edit file -> ...\sys\Controller\Ajax\forum\topic.php

We need to find -> public function edit()

Then find a line -> $topic->updatePollIfExists($tid, $_POST['poll_title'], $_POST['poll_data'], $_POST['has_poll']);

and Add next code:

if ($_POST['has_poll'] == 'yes' {
$topic->addPollToTopic($tid, $_POST['poll_title'], $_POST['poll_data']);
}

Now users can add a poll to old post and even Edit, but have errors like that when Edit:

As I understand that error means we dublicate our data twice.

I want to Add "IF / Else" to check If Poll Exists or Not Exist, but I can't do it myself

For example I need like that:
$topic->addPollToTopicIfNotExists($tid, $_POST['poll_title'], $_POST['poll_data']);
$topic->updatePollIfExists($tid, $_POST['poll_title'], $_POST['poll_data'], $_POST['has_poll']);

@admin help please. I don't want to wait for next release

@John Wick

Patience my friend Patience please - others are also waiting for updates, the Codologic team is small, consists of only two brothers - both are currently working very hard on server updates, the login system and on getting the update of Codoforum ready in the near future and our code warriors also have a private life.

So please again, try to be patient, no one is preferred or disadvantaged here, we always try to be fair to everyone - it would be unfair to the others if you were treated preferentially now.

Thank you for your understanding.

By the way what PHP Version are you running and which Codoforum Version?

You can be 100% sure about that the team will update Codoforum as soon as possible, they always do their best mate.

Regards, WebCrew

@WebCrew

All your replies for me are useless.

Why are you doing that?

I am here for code only

@John Wick

Admin already told you:

I only said "please be a bit patient" there's no need to be rude, either, John!

I've been here for a good 4-5 years now and I'm helping "voluntarily" and you're the very first person who has a problem with it during this time, which doesn't bother me, because I certainly don't like everyone here either, but at least I remain polite and professional.

I know you want "code" and a solution - everyone wants that.

There are thousands of Codoforum users, I use it myself and we all just have to wait for an update.

I already told you that the team at Codologic is small and they are already hardworking beyond measure and striving to always do their best.

So can you please show some understanding as a user for this, right?

Please remain polite, just like us - thank you very much.

Have a nice day.

WebCrew

done! no errors!

Edit file -> ...\sys\Controller\Ajax\forum\topic.php

We need to find -> public function edit()

Then find a line -> $topic->updatePollIfExists($tid, $_POST['poll_title'], $_POST['poll_data'], $_POST['has_poll']);

and Add new next code AFTER:

$questionData = \DB::table(PREFIX . 'codo_poll_questions as q')
                ->leftJoin(PREFIX . 'codo_poll_log as l', function($join) {

                    $join->on('l.poll_id', '=', 'q.id');
                    $join->on('l.uid', '=', \DB::raw(\CODOF\User\CurrentUser\CurrentUser::id()));
                })
                ->select("q.*", "l.uid")
                ->where('topic_id', '=', $tid)
                ->first();


                if ($questionData == null) {
                    if ($_POST['has_poll'] == 'yes') {
                $topic->addPollToTopic($tid, $_POST['poll_title'], $_POST['poll_data']);
                }
                }

@JohnWick thank you very much - that helps a lot

yeah!

the next chapter is - How to prevent unregistered users from voting

@admin, your move

You are experiencing an issue with adding a poll to an existing topic. To address this, you might want to check if an "Edit" option is available for your topic. If there is, try selecting it and see if you can add a poll during editing. Alternatively, if you don't want users to add a poll when editing a post, consider turning off the voting feature in the edit mode. This can be done through the settings or permissions of your platform or forum. By doing so, you can prevent users from adding or modifying polls when editing their posts.

You're encountering an issue when adding a poll to an existing topic. To fix this problem, check if your platform or forum has specific rules or limitations regarding editing posts. Some venues don't allow editing after a certain period, or they might have restrictions on adding polls to existing topics.

If you cannot add a poll during the edit, consider creating a new post with the survey you want to include. In your case, this might mean starting a new topic related to phone cases and adding the poll there.

Alternatively, you can contact the platform's support or community moderators to inquire about specific rules or settings affecting your ability to add polls to existing topics.

I hope this helps resolve the issue! 😊📱
