greetings all,
yes, the poll is not complete and a polling manager is on the todo but
... here are some thoughts / ideas ... some better then others :
+ cookie time configured in admin (hours/days)
+ if cookie present then
- display results of poll vs poll itself OR
- cycle through another active poll
this would work of course if one has >=2 active polls
+ networked polling system (hmm)
+ if GD then choice of pie,bar,foo for results
+ archivable polls where new visitors can vote on old poll , not just
view results (tricky, some are outdated ... maybe boolean of
archive view y/n and archive post y/n per poll (huh?)
+ allow for other box where user types in answer (although
the addition of comments may disolve this thought)
+ make a poll a special "Topic" or just add comments seperatly
+ popup polls suck, actually, popups are evil in general ;)
+ have an ordered poll where order of preference is taken into account.
- example : what is your favorite color?
(2)blue
(1)green <-- note, this is my fav i give it a one
(3)black
(4)pink <-- note, i don't like pink so give it a four
- either we enter numbers OR it takes into account our order of
checking (can js do this?) or some other way
- results would be compiled somehow ... ... ... hmm.
i think that's all for now, thoughts? likes, dislikes? the archive thing
sounds complicated and the networked way would (i think) require a
centralized server (polls.phpweblog.org) so idk ... unless the phpweblog
community decides to create a Beowulf Polling Cluster ;)

This resembles the current scheme actually, sortof.. Polls can be set as a block or not. If not, they are still accessable if you click on [ polls ], these polls that aren't shown as a block can be regarded as 'archived'. I may have misunderstood here. > + allow for other box where user types in answer (although > the addition of comments may disolve this thought) Yea, comments may be better. > + have an ordered poll where order of preference is taken into account. > - example : what is your favorite color? > (2)blue > (1)green <-- note, this is my fav i give it a one > (3)black > (4)pink <-- note, i don't like pink so give it a four > - either we enter numbers OR it takes into account our order of > checking (can js do this?) or some other way > - results would be compiled somehow ... ... ... hmm. This is a clever idea, but uhm.. you do it. =] This adds a few more to the current TODO.. thanks! jason |

You mean you don't have link to phpMyAdmin in your admin screen? :) Thats how I've been doing most of my edititing. Not really archiving, but I was thinking of more a slashdot type poll. I was going to write a randomizer block (can you tell I love the feature? thanks for adding on the idea Jason) so that you only display one poll but it is randomize per page visit. -----Original Message----- From: php...@li...

Yes I know, I have been putting that off until after 0.3.0. The TODO is becoming my scapegoat. :p Jason philip olson wrote: > i am looking at phpweblog.greenhell.com and cannot figure out how to turn poll > blocks on/off after one is created ... only a KILL option is available, no EDIT. |
