Is there a way to close the poll without closing the thread?

Title is my question: any way to close a poll without closing the thread for discussion?

There is no way from the UI to close a poll. There is a method to close the poll via the model, so it would be relatively trivial to add.

Something like the following:

public function Base_DiscussionOptions_Handler($Sender) {
    if(!CheckPermission('Plugins.DiscussionPolls.Manage')) {
        return;
    }

    $Sender->Options .= Wrap(Anchor($Label, '/discussion/closepoll/' . $Discussion->DiscussionID), 'li');
}

public function DiscussionController_ClosePoll_Create($Sender, $Args) {
    if(!CheckPermission('Plugins.DiscussionPolls.Manage')) {
        throw PermissionException();
    }
    $DiscussionID = $Args[0];
    $Discussion = $Sender->DiscussionModel->GetID($DiscussionID);

    if ($Discussion) {
        $DPModel->Close($Discussion->DiscussionID);            
        Redirect('/discussion/' . $Discussion->DiscussionID);
    }
    else {
        throw NotFoundException();
    }
}

Untested, but that should add a new discussion option to forcibly close the poll. I would suggest adding a check to only have the option if the poll is currently open. And perhaps a method to reopen an accidentally closed poll.
