This is only a test.  a test of our new Polls Plugin currently in development.  Within this forum (plugin topics), you should be able to create and vote in polls.

We are testing here before rolling the polls plugin out to a beta test…  Feedback and comments welcome…

I will get it started with a little poll

Seems to work like a charm – good stuff!

/Edit: just love that the poll is below the text, and not @ the top of the page. Don’t know why, but many scripts do that for some strange reason … 😉

thanks… looks like an issue with letting you vote more than once with the settings I have… actually deployed with different settings than I tested with… 🙁

will look into…

would help too if folks would create their own polls to help test…  must be in the plugin topics forum though…

Is it feasible to have the topic automatically tagged with POLL in the title?

Also … I assume you’ll be able to restrict the ability to creat polls via permissions?

MP Mr Papa

yes, there are permissions for creating a poll and voting in a poll…

will have to think about POLL in the title… certainly possible, but lots of ramifications and not sure it makes sense…  a topic can have multiple polls…  if you change the title, to be consistent, the slug should change to match which changes the url and may affect SEO…  also gets really tricky if the poll is deleted…

Yes – which will be available very soon after the 5.1.2 release which – all being well – will be at the end of this week. We can’t release it before as it is dependent upon 5.1.2.

Is is possible for be to try out a beta? Today is the last day of my silver subscription.

Afraid not – no beta exists. The polls plugin requires SP version 5.1.2 which is slated to be released this coming weekend. The polls plugin will be released shortly thereafter.
