Option to close poll (disable voting)

[anonymous]

Voting is great but I missed possibility to close polls.

My idea is to add additional parameter "DISABLE" (or anyhow):

[[Poll(Some question?; Yes; No; DISABLE)]]

which causes the "Vote" button is not active (or even disappears). So when comes deadline of voting I will edit existing pool macro, add this parameter so pool will be presented with inactive voting button from now.

Could you extend your stuff with this feature?

Errm... sorry for the second reply. Another idea concerning "when poll is ready" would be to tell it how long it should last, e.g. [[Poll(Really?;Yes;No;end=2009-12-24)]]. This way it wouldn't even be necessary to edit the poll again.

If there's more to invest in this issue: [[Poll(Really?;Yes;No;end(mode=val))]], where the mode=val pair could be something like...

• date=2009-12-24 (on this date)
• votes=100 (after the 100st vote)
• voter=izzy (as soon as we got Izzys vote)
• vote=No (until somebody voted "No")
• ticketclose=24 (on close of #24)
• milestone=name (on completion of milestone)
• rev=1224 (on commit of r1224)

OK, admitted: the last example may be a joke. But the others would be quite useful.

Is anyone working on this?

I haven't had time lately to work on this plugin, but I'll gladly accept a patch. You may want to take a look at EasyPollMacro, which appears to be maintained.
