MyBB Community Forums

I didn't see any settings to enable Registered member to edit polls

By default, only mods and admins are allowed to edit polls, here is how you can allow mods, admins and thread authors to edit polls.

Open ./showthread.php and find;

		// Check if user is allowed to edit posts; if so, show "edit poll" link.
		if(!is_moderator($fid, 'caneditposts'))
		{
			$edit_poll = '';
		}
		else
		{
			$edit_poll = " | <a href=\"polls.php?action=editpoll&amp;pid={$poll['pid']}\">{$lang->edit_poll}</a>";
		}

and Change it into;

		// Check if user is allowed to edit posts; if so, show "edit poll" link.
		if(!is_moderator($fid, 'caneditposts') && $thread['uid'] != $mybb->user['uid'])
		{
			$edit_poll = '';
		}
		else
		{
			$edit_poll = " | <a href=\"polls.php?action=editpoll&amp;pid={$poll['pid']}\">{$lang->edit_poll}</a>";
		}

Save.

Now open ./polls.php and find;

	if(!is_moderator($fid, "caneditposts"))
	{
		error_no_permission();
	}

and Change it into;

	if(!is_moderator($fid, "caneditposts") && $thread['uid'] != $mybb->user['uid'])
	{
		error_no_permission();
	}

Within the same file, find;

	if(!is_moderator($thread['fid'], "caneditposts"))
	{
		error_no_permission();
	}

and Change it into;

	if(!is_moderator($thread['fid'], "caneditposts") && $thread['uid'] != $mybb->user['uid'])
	{
		error_no_permission();
	}

Save the file.

Now thread authors are able to edit their own polls along with Admins and Mods

This should be a core for MyBB

Thank you so much Yaldaram !
