A Poll Plugin?

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you could create something like a poll plugin? Right now its a very staid approach for creating polls.

Go create a poll post and have people vote for the options available. If we could put heads together maybe we could create a poll plugin that can be put as a widget at the home page which is not necessarily the forum and have people to click on 'vote now' button that would lead them to a section in the forum where we could collect poll results and all. Show them stats and all. I mean there could me more that we could do than just put a post out there.

Could anyone discuss, if this is worth developing?

I believe the ‘WP Polls’ plugin works quite well with SP. We also have this on our list for a future development. Also this will get easier to do when version 5 is finally available as that will have a plugin interface.

I am afraid V5 is going to be quite a while in gestation. It is basically a complete rewrite and restructuring. Don’t expect it this year.

We will certainly be pursuing a beta period when the time comes. Probably a lengthy one! Thanks

and we will probably start with early alphas too for some of the coding types who want to help test the plugin api…
