Hide vote tallies till vote ends?
 

Has this already been done or suggested? I am running several contests on site that are now using the gallery for voting and the participants SEEING the vote totals before the contest ends is a bit of a problem.

Thanks,
Jim

I agree, pleaaaase give us this feature. It was asked so many times...

It'd be great to have this feature.

template edit showgallery.php note the line here

change to this

many thanks!

I have just implemented this code change today, and found it does not show the votes even after the voting is ended. I checked the code change several times, and it is changed correctly. Not sure why this did not work.

Anyone else got this working?

Works fine. Simple conditional around the row that says $takevotes == 2 then show the number of votes.

$takesvotes equals 2 means voting has ended.

I found that "x votes" is not shown after "ending vote" with your code change. It only shows "You picked this image" with no votes count for any image.

Any help?

I followed this instruction, changed showgallery.tmpl (note not showgallery.php), but when the voting is ended, it does not show number of votes each photo got. It only shows which one you picked and ranked with order, no number of votes displayed.

Could anyone please try and confirm this? I am on the latest version.

Thank you very much!

Chuck,

Could you please help? I know it should work, but it does not. When the voting is ended, it does not show number of votes each photo got. It only shows which one you picked and ranked with order, no number of votes displayed.

The variable is $takevotes not $takesvotes

Just wanted to say I love the support you guys give for code changes, makes my life sooo much easier.

Just implemented this and it works great!

Chuck... does this template mod work with 5.62?

thanks

edit:
i made the code changes and still no go... i logged in with another non admin account to verify...

Hi

I tried it with PP 5.62, but it does not work really.

First, it hides the votes as expected. But the problem is that it does not show neither a way how to vote.

I assume the reason for this is because the hack is in the template and not in a php file.

I also changed the wording as suggested by the way:

So how to achive, that voting is possible, but the result is not visible unless I want to disclose it to all after the voting period ended?

The same hack would be interesting for ratings by the way...

Thanks in advance

any hints?

so i just added that line ( if ( $takevotes == 2) {) and now if you click my gallery or a personal gallery it gives you an error. something about something unexpected on line 50. i didn't have time to copy that, sorry, had to fix it for those freaking out. (they're easy to scare). any ideas why that messed up the view of the gallery???

ooh, yet another member sent it to me.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/digital/public_html/gallery/templates/vb3enhanced/showgallery.tmpl on line 350
