Polls - Having several visable by different user groups?

Is there any way to have several polls but making one viewable to one user group but not others, then another poll viewable by another user group?

From what I can tell there's only one 'Polls Block', and it's either visible or it isn't as set by the Group Permissions. But that will of course make all polls either visible or invisible.

If there's no setting, is there any way to hack so I can achieve the above? If not, are there any other (better) polls modules? I found the PollsBlind module (here) but I don't think this does what I need.

Thanks

Ted

Only way you're going to get that - is to clone the module and block templates... this shouldnt be a bad one to do, as it is fairly simple compared to most.

However someone (Rowdie I think) is working on a new Poll module on dev.xoops I believe - so why not add this as a suggestion to it?

Thanks, I have now submitted it (see here) at dev.xoops.org.

In the meantime, can you explain how to do the above cloning you refer to? Not done it for this purpose before and how will cloning it achieve what I need? Not sure I understand.

Thanks

Found a solution...such is the wonder of Xoops!

I removed 'Module Access' to the Polls module in System Admin so that the users don't get the actual menu link to the polls module. By doing this the blocks for my normal polling is still shown, which is what I want for one user group.

Then, for my private polls that I want for a different user group, I've created a forum, granted access to it only by that user group, then used the polling feature of my CBB forum module. That way, the poll remains within the conceialed forum.

Bravo!
