Seems to work nicely on your test site! Great initiative! Hope the guy from BoJ team will integrate it in next release ;-)
A few suggestions: Can you make the greatest bar from another color to see what is wining so far? Can guests have the option to vote and if yes how do you prevent them from voting twice?
One question since it is alpha release, do you want us to test it first on test sites? and you would advise us to avoid using it in live sites?

thanks
I will test tonight on a test site with plenty of bots and all to really challenge it ;)

Edit: sorry but can we download something to install it or can we only test it on your test site for now?

Ok I now tested it further on your website. I think that in the pop-up I saw nothing to validate the poll. I just pressed return and it was ok but maybe a validation button would be nice (I used firefox). Secondly, you may think of doing like in smf, with a button saying new poll instead of new message. But if you want to keep with this approach, some kind of check mark showing us that the poll has been validated and will be included to the post would be nice if it is possible.
And of course in the future, if we can edit it, then it is better.
One more thing I thought later is maybe to change the check box by a button. Seems more appropriate to trigger the opening of a pop-up. But this is minor.

Anyway great work and I look forward to use it!

@dartagnan32

Thank you :kiss:

Can you make the greatest bar from another color to see what is wining so far? [b]OK[/b]
Can guests have the option to vote? [b]no, security reason, they can only see the result[/b]
do you want us to test it first on test sites? [b]yes please[/b] :blush:
you would advise us to avoid using it in live sites? [b]yes, there are still some bugs and needs some SQL optimization too, also [color=#FF0000]I used direct database connection instate of using Joomla\'s database class[/color], will change it in beta version.[/b]

sorry but can we download something to install it or can we only test it on your test site for now? [b]Integration is quite simple, add of few lines in 3 core files, max 7 lines total, and 5 additional files in /plugins/poll dir[/b]

[b]There are validation, title is must, 2 options are must[/b]


[color=#FF0000][b]Most beautiful thing is that[/b], we can use the same Joomla-Poll Admin system to control this FB-Poll system. :kiss: [/color]


Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi just checking first if you saw my whole post, I added a few things by edition of the first post that you may have missed in the end.
Second you say there are only a few changes to make, but are they on your website as well?
If you want us to test on our test websites as well it would be nice to see how to install it clearly.
(sorry if I missed it)

There are some more CORE editing needed, like - publish/unpublish etc.
and a major BUG in SQL, as you can see options with 0 (zero) votes are not showing.

After that I will allow \'testers\', like you, to d/l the core.

BTW, I saw your suggestions.


[size=4]HELP ME[/size]

I am using this SQL to get the poll report --
[code:1]
SELECT text, count(id) AS votes FROM te_fb_poll_result, te_poll_data WHERE te_fb_poll_result.pollid=te_poll_data.pollid AND te_poll_data.pollid=\".$pid.\" AND id=v_option GROUP BY id ORDER BY id
[/code:1]
as you can see options with 0 (zero) votes are not showing.

[color=#FF0000]Please, suggest me a better SQL[/color].

Re:Alpha Release of Fireboard Poll-System 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
Hi,
i\'m very very interested in poll system for Fireboard...
Can i say two suggestions?

1. If i click on \"show results\" button BEFORE voting, i have to go back in the browser in order to vote... while it would be nice to be able to vote even if you are in the results page without going back...

2. It would be nice also to have an option to SHOW OR NOT the nicknames of the person who voted the various options (if shown, they would appear under the option voted)

Anyway, good job
thanks
:)

Hoping you can give the administrators the power to disable or enable this feature once it come around, since sometimes you want to force members to be able to see who voted for what (I know admins should be able to see this anyway), or vice versa (ie. force it so that nobody can create a poll where everyone can see who voted for what).

It just adds that little bit extra administrative power. ;)

Mmmmh... it would be better if this was an option to select during the creation of each poll... not from backend and not only from admin or mod but from all users

I\'d like to create i.e.:

poll 1 - multiple choice / visible voters
poll 2 - multiple choice / unvisibile voters
poll 3 - single choice / visible voters
...
and so on...

This would be nice ;)
