@jtsimoes unfortunately we want the restricted groups to still have view/comment access to posts with polls in them. I think my only solution will be to either find another poll plugin (which seems unlikely) or figure out how to modify the existing one to have more garnular permissions.

I did create a test account but because the permission only says "Poll" it was unclear whether or not if it controlled participation or creation. But you've answered that. Looks like I'll have to figure out how to modify the plugin for a permission to control participation base on group. Thanks for the in depth answer.

@jtsimoes I set them in a test category but it doesn't look like it worked when I used a test account put into a group that wasn't supposed to be able to use the poll, the account could still vote in it. I'll have to keep playing around with them. Does that permission restrict the creation of a poll or the ability to participate in one?

@Tom_Rade I'm not seeing that you are referring to, my privlages page looks like this:

and the corrisponding inspect element markup looks like this:

There is no reference to any poll permissions anywhere in either of those two areas. We're running NodeBB 1.10.2.

We currently use this poll plugin but we've found it doesn't have everything we need it to. What we are looking for is it to extend it and add:

• Group-based permissions (select groups that can and can't vote in the poll in the ACP)

• Weighted polls based on the group the user is part of. i.e. a person in group one would have their poll vote have a weight of 1, a person in group 2 would have a poll vote weight of 2 and so on. Configurable in the ACP.

That's it, I did tinker around with trying to do it myself but I don't know the plugin system well enough to do it effectively.

@PitaJ I was able to do it by giving the nav button a unique ID in the ID section and then just controlling the tooltip/button action in JS under the custom JS section. Surprisingly easy to do as it turns out.

I see I can add custom text to the tooltip for a custom route in the navigation bar, I am hoping to add JS to it instead so that the tooltip changes based on the JS. Is this possible without a plugin, or should I look into creating a plugin to do this?

@Anjin That worked! Holy cow it worked! Thank you for that.

After more testing with both the direct upload and URL upload, I am even more confused. The direct upload is still not working but when I try the URL upload I get different error messages depending on the browser I use. Note the image I am uploading is coming from imgur.com using https and the latest versions of the respective browsers.

• Chrome: "Unable to upload image due to misconfigured CORS"

• Edge: "SecurityError"

• IE 11: "SecurityError"

• Firefox: "The operation is insecure."

• Opera: "Unable to upload image due to misconfigured CORS"

The inconsistencies are frustrating, any suggestions on what is causing this?

Yes, npm install was run afterwards
