Working on the next version of the poll mod. Considering some new features but I want your opinion on it, if I should make the change or not.
I have created polls on my forum so you can vote on it. The vote will weigh on my decision in whether to implement the feature. Your comments are also welcomed, on my forum that is. Don't post in this topic.

Well, it is a bit of a tie to whether I should implement that feature or not. But the "In the topic" vote is leading so I don't think I will implement the feature of having the poll above the topic.
Thanks for everyone who contributed to the voting.

Anywhere you see the code to put in 8 answers... put in 12 more just like it.
You will also need to add 12 more Db entries.
There is a MOD that raises the limit somewhere... search the archives.

If anyone needs help with the poll mod please post a new topic in the Help: MOD Implementation forum. I will not help anyone in this topic.

Hi
I need a poll which allows voters to change their vote (after deep discussion in the relevant forum!). I see there was an earlier post about being able to view the results of the poll by category of voter. As far as I can tell neither of these are feature of the current version. Any chance of developing them? (or does anyone know of an alternative?)
Thanks
Phil

That cannot be done with this poll mod and such a feature is not being implemented in the next version. Never heard of a voter being able to change thier vote.

I ran into an interesting issue. A poll was started and the discussion was so popular we had to close the topic and open another one. However, not everyone makes the connection between the discussion Part2(or part3) and the original poll so they think there is no way to comment on the poll because the topic is closed. Does anyone have ideas for linking these topics together?

A cheap, no code, way to do it would be to edit the first and last posts with links to the Part 2 or 3 topic. It's not a pretty solution but at least your users will have a clear way to get to the continued topic.

I'm interested in installing this mod, but I'd like to make sure that the link given in the very first post is the latest version of the mod.
Am I right?

Sigh. That's exactly what I did after posting here but the results were so bad that I edited it out. The links ended up between the poll and the answers and it seemed as if that cure was worse than the disease.

You will always find the latest versions of my mod here. So the answer is yes.

Do you have the version that uses its own table rather than adding onto the topics table? If so, does that version still link into topics somehow and is it available for download?
Btw, would it be difficult to use a different structure for polling? The current structure limits the poll to 8 and leaves the database with several empty fields. Maybe a table structure as follows might allow for unlimited number of polls and eliminate extra fields:
POLL_ID (AUTONUMBER KEY)
TOPIC_ID (INT)
POLL_QA (INT)
POLL_MESSAGE (TXT100
POLL_ID would be the autoassigned poll number, TOPIC_ID the related topic, POLL_QA whether that line item was a question or answer, and POLL_MESSAGE the actual question or answer/option.
Example: Q: Which do you prefer? A1: red, A2: blue
POLL_ID TOPIC_ID POLL_QA POLL_MESSAGE
1 123 0 Which do you prefer?
2 123 1 red
3 123 1 blue
Is this feasible?

It seems you think i have another version of the poll mod somewhere. 
I am working on the next version which will include it's own table and more control over the polls. Only have the upgrade script left to finish working on. But right now, most of my attention is working on the 3.4 version of the Snitz Forums.
