  1. I'm thinking about those things too.

    I haven't decided whether a listing of the voters' names after each poll choice (and its percentage) would be be better (but maybe clunkier-looking), or maybe a second loop through all the choices again after the percentages are shown (cleaner, but maybe less cohesively displayed).

    I'm trying to hack something together on a test box, and it's coming along, slowly. If I am satisfied with it at some point, I'll show you my ideas if you like.

  2. I thtought about this a little more in depth with the people for whom I would be developing this plugin and it turns out for the polls the anonymity is not such a big deal.

    Really what they want is some kind of RSVP plugin - who is going to attend what events and how many people are they bringing.

    They like the look and feel of this polls plugin however, so I think I'm going to rely on it heavily for inspiration and derive a new plugin from it to allow event organizers to

    1. define an event (as a topic)
    2. define various options for it
      • Response (yes/no/maybe select box)
      • Number of guests (numeric/select box)
      • What food they will bring to share (text input)
    3. collect ever-changing responses from paricipants

    That last point is probably the most important one. They need to allow users to change their responses. Actually, now that I think of it, in my little discussion group there was a demand for users to be able to change their votes.

    So maybe there are several topics here:
    (a) optional anonymity in the polls plugin
    (b) vote variability (users can change their mind and overwrite previous poll responses)
    (c) an RSVP plugin containing aspects of both a and b and its own stuff.

    Sounds like a fun little project for me. :-)

    What you are talking about is a "survey" vs. a poll.

  5. Is this plugin working for anyone that is using 1.0 stable?

    Posted: 8 months ago #
  6. I just downloaded 1.0 stable and set it up on my test box and this plugin seems like it's working with one exception: starting a new topic and adding a poll to it right at the beginning doesn't seem to work - there's no "Save" button to save the poll into the topic and saving the topic doesn't save the poll along with it.

    But adding poll to a new topic after-the-fact seems to work like a champ so far.

  7. Hi CK, I am aware that you are not updating any plugins for a while which is fine by me... you probably need a break! So seeing as you wont make any edits can you tell me what this means...

    This is the message I get when trying to use NightGunners BBPM plugin, it only shows up when I have your BBPress Polls plugin activated...

    Warning: include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/harrismarine/harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

    Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/harrismarine/harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

    I would love to keep using your Poll plugin as my users love it and yes I am using the updated version of BBPress and it is too alte to go back as I have made a lot of changes.

    If you find the time to reply I will appreciate it very much ;) Keep up the good work.

  9. Hi _CK_ great stuff. I was wondering how I can separate topics with polls from topics without polls in my code, so that I can have two separate panels in my layout. The [poll] part was what I wanted to use, but it does not show up when I use get_topic_title(). Any Ideas?

  10. CK can you update this so it works with 1.02?

  11. Marius-: Unfortuantely, _ck_ is not around anymore. This plugin will not be improved anymore. Watch out for v1.1 of bbPress - it may include this functionality.

    Can this plugin be downloaded anymore?

  13. Sorry for bumping this. But this plugin was added recently on the forum I moderate and I along with the other moderators are curious if there is a way to add an edit/delete function to the poll. Because without one the only way to do so is to delete the thread.

  14. Submachiner, do you get a "Save" button present, during topic creation?

    Posted: 3 weeks ago #
  15. Yup.

    Posted: 3 weeks ago #
  16. Damn, good for you, but bad for me.
    Could you please take a picture of it? With the savebutton?

    I want to use this plugin, but theres no save button when adding a poll during the creation of a topic.

  17. Is there an option to allow non registered users to vote?

    ie. making it a public poll?
