Thanks for your comment

Looks like a great mod, I just installed it.  One small problem, I'd like to weight the results based on post-count groups, but most of my members are also members of other groups.  I left the "other groups" set to 1, and increased the post-count groups to more weight as the post-count group increased.  However, the weighted poll seems to be using the other groups as an overwrite for the post-count groups.  Any way to solve this?  If it's not clear what I'm saying, I can probably explain it a little better.

[M-DVD]

I can probably explain it a little better.

Yes

But maybe this answer your question.

The Weigth Vote is decided as:

    If the user is Moderator Local
    Then
          Use this weight.
    Else
          If the user have Primary Group
          Then
                    Use this weight.
          Else
                    Use the weigth for Group Post Count.

Perfect, now is there any way I can make a custom modification to make Post-Count group the first option?  Or can you add this setting into the admin panel?  It sounds like maybe it's just a matter of switching that last else statement into the first if statement.

I feel the current way is the most correct. A user can be "group charter" (example) and he can vote as a "charter" in all the forum. But he is a 'Moderator Local' in a Board. Then his vote would weigh as a Moderator Local here.

But, it's your decision. No problem

Seach in Sources/Poll.php

Code Select Expand

$ind = empty($user_info['is_mod']) ? (empty($user_settings['id_group']) ? $user_info['groups'][1] : $user_settings['id_group']) : '3';


Replace:

Code Select Expand

$ind = empty($user_settings['id_group']) ? (empty($user_info['is_mod']) ? $user_info['groups'][1] : '3') : $user_settings['id_group'];

That didn't seem to have any effect.  I think that's the right line of code, but just to clarify in case, I want the order to be:

1. Post-Count Group
2. Member Group
3. Local Moderator

Ok, I thought you wanted:
1. Primary Group
2. Local Moderator
3. Post-Count Group

In your case:
1. Post-Count Group
2. Member Group
3. Local Moderator

All member has a Post-Count Group, then never will be use the Weight primary group/moderator local.

Okay, so is there any easy way to modify the code then to get this effect?

Ok, in this case, only use it:

Code Select Expand

$ind = $user_info['groups'][1]

Hi, I would like to use this mod on my forum, just one question to have everything clear in my mind.

I would like to weight the votes in only one board.
Should I close anyway all the current polls in the entire forum?

[shadowfax82]

Hello everybody,

I'm the admin of hxxp:clubfordpuma.com/foro [nonactive].  I have a secondary group (members of the club).  What I want to do is to asign weight "2" to the members of the club, and weight "1" to the non-members.

I have just changed the weights in the desired board (previously, I did close all the polls inside it!), but the mod doesn't respond as required.

I need some help to put weighted polls in my forum.

Thanks to everybody
