Polls?

[bibby]

I cannot find anything about adding polls to a WebsiteBaker site.  There is some info out there, but is seems very old.

Anyone have a information about adding a poll to a 2.7 install?

[Ruud]

There is one. You can find it here.

Wow, thanks for the quick response.  I don't know how I missed it.  Maybe a survey is more of what I want.  Do you know of a survey module?

[Ruud]

Something like this?

A real survey, using multiple questions (wizard style) does not exist for WB as far as I know.

I didn't get too far with the survey module.  I'm also having a hard time with the poll module.  Is there better documentation on how to create multiple questions?

What I would like to do is have a page with a lot of information at the top, then have an area for registered users to vote. 

It is for a class reunion and I'm looking at getting some feedback on suggested activities.

Personally I would think more in the direction of a form to fill.

The only difference with a survey would be that all questions/answers are on one page.

I don't know how well a form would work.  I want to present options and see what is the most popular.  Do you know how I can have more that one survey question on a page, or how to have text above the survey?

Simply create a WYSIWYG page.
Add a second (Form) section.

Read the stuff about forms in the help pages.
Just by using a few "header" and "radio buttons" I created the sample below in 2 minutes.

Styling can be done in the settings page of the form (including the CSS).

Create a nice "thank you" page and select that page in the "Succes" dropdown list (Form settings)
The form will email the result to you. (set your email address in the settings page)

I will give it a try.  Thanks for all the help.

[bibby]

That really helped.  I did not understand sections until you pointed that out.

I do have one more question.  Do you know how to have more than one question in a poll?  Is that possible?  I would like to ask multiple questions.  If I add another poll to the page I end up with 2 vote buttons. 

[Ruud]

You should put all questions in the same form.
It doesn't matter if there are 1 or 20 questions in the form.

The screenshot above was just one form.

I get how to have multiple questions on a form.  I was trying to get multiple questions on a poll.

[Ruud]

I don't think that will be possible to do that with the poll module.
