Using wp_polls_vote_poll_success hook

Unfortunately you can’t do that, the hook wp_polls_vote_poll_success is used normally to log something into a custom database upon a successful vote. Since the poll is based around on templates, you can’t dynamically inject anything

Hi Lester– thanks for getting back to me.

Is it possible to create custom template tags? Would that work to pull in dynamic text?

That is possible, you can modify the plugin as you wish. But as with every plugin update, the changes will be wiped.

Hi Lester– Is there a way to register custom templates? I’m not interested in modifying you plugin, only extending it.

Thanks
Steve

Unfortunately nope, the plugin was not designed for that!

I’d be happy to sponsor the addition of this feature. Is this something you would be open to doing?

I don’t think I will have time to do it. You can always hire a dev to fork the plugin and extend it and send back a Pull Request.

That’s fine. Can you provide some insight on how you recommend we do it?

I think the easier way I would do it is to abstract out a function to get all templates and then the output of this function will return a filter of the templates so that your theme/plugin can overwrite the template.

I submitted a pull request. Simply filtered the results markup:

Let me know what you think.

Sounds good!, merged!

Great! Thank you so much.

Would you be willing to explain how to add the custom text when the poll results show? I’d like to offer a thank you note to those who take the survey. It sounds like you guys resolved hooking into wp_polls but I’m not experienced enough to know how to code the filter hook and where to put it to avoid being overwritten. If you’d be willing to share a snippet of what the example code would like and where to paste it I would appreciate it very much.

Add this to your custom plugin or functions.php:

function my_after_poll_results($results) {
    $results .= 'Thank you';

    return $results;
}
add_filter( 'poll_result_markup', 'my_after_poll_results');
