I hope that no one has already made this hack but just in case here it is. I wanted a way to Have a poll show up only on a related topic so I came up with a solution.
In the /plugins/polls/functions.inc I made this Mod
function phpblock_polls()
{
$retval = POLLS_showPoll( 1,$_GET['topic']);
return $retval;
}
Then you Give the PollID the same ID as The TopicID that you want the poll to show on. Example. I want to show a Poll on Topic
Hurricane Stories, the topicID is hstories so the PollID will be hstories.
Then you make a Block restricted to the Topic you want the poll to show on. Make it a PHP Block, with the function call phpblock_polls and walla.
If anyone thinks I did something wrong, please let me know.
