Hi DM,ããIt seems that after closing a poll, the poll no longer has any voteãinformation. total_votes is 0, and the tally values for the options are all 0.ãIs that how it was designed? I'm curious because SlyVote has an option toãdisplay stats on the polls in the current sub-board (number of votes andãhighest-voted options), and for closed polls, those are all 0. Also, whenãviewing a closed poll, it appears as if it didn't get any votes.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

I'll play with it and test it out someãmore. Maybe it's just a problem with the JS modeling as I'm pretty sure I triedãit out using the built-in message reading functionality, but I'll give it a goãagain.ãã digital manããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #25:ãFTS = FidoNet Technical StandardãNorco, CA WX: 70.7øF, 71.0% humidity, 2 mph SE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

You don't close a poll by modifying the poll (this wouldãnot send a closure message out to the network,f or example) - instead, a pollãclosure is actually a new message which propagates through the network andãmarks the (existing) poll as closed.ããI just committed a change which adds a MsgBase.close_poll() method. Try usingãthat to close a poll and it should work as intended.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #9:ãThe name "DOVE-Net" comes from: The Beast's DOmain / VErtrauen network.ãNorco, CA WX: 69.8øF, 73.0% humidity, 4 mph SE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I've tested to make sure SlyVote is saving poll responses properlyã(by viewing them in the stock reader) and that SlyVote is displaying polls withãtheir responses properly (after voting with the stock reader). You should beãable to use the latest SlyVote.js and DDLightbarMenu.js that I've committed toãCVS.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

If you wantedãto spoof that information (just copy those header fields from the poll msg) inãJS, you could do that. The built-in method of closing polls does not make anyãspecial exemption for the sysop/sub-op and I don't personally think it'sãneeded.ãã digital manããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #41:ãSBBS = Synchronet Bulletin Board SystemãNorco, CA WX: 75.9øF, 62.0% humidity, 11 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
