[nodebb-plugin-poll] Poll plugin
-
Just wanted to let everyone know that this plugin is still being worked on. A couple weeks back I spent a lot of time reworking the server code and yesterday I spent some time reworking the poll creator. Some notable new features:
- The creator will look for an existing poll in your post and allow you to edit it
- Adding options is a bit more obvious now
- The date-time picker now works again
- The preview of your post doesn't show some bastardised list anymore
- Lots and lots of code improvement
Next up is working on the poll viewer and some other stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to release a 0.9.x compatible version soon
-
@whitts currently it's still a design decision to only allow polls in the first post. With the new hooks (well, new since when this was originally created) however, it should be possible to allow a poll by editing the first post.
Maybe with poll 2.0
I'd need some good arguments to why allowing a poll in every post will be a good idea. -
-
if possible creator of thread put more than one poll in thread and maximum votes per user i will move to nodebb from mybb.
something that i need much, but mybb not want offer for me so http://community.mybb.com/thread-154224.html

@martec max votes per user on a single poll? That's already supported. Multiple polls per thread is not something I'm considering, I'd much rather go with multiple questions on a single poll. Either way, it'll be something that will take quite some effort to implement, given the current method of doing polls. I do want to have something like that supported some day, though.

hi, thanks for answer.
what the difference with multiple questions on a single poll and Multiple polls per thread?
what i need that thread creator create multiple poll, so probably in this case not has any difference?maybe, will complicate when need change one of the question, why if need add one option in one of the questions, probably need recreate all questions. If plugin accept more than one poll, will need recreate only question that need made change.
anyway, i will wait more progress before migration to nodebb.

Hi @Schamper When I create a poll either by entering the
[poll <settings>]
- Poll options
- Another option
[/poll]
Or by using the creator button I get the same results which is, I hit submit button and it accepts the action but then just stops. Don't reset to the form post, doesn't freeze my ability to exit or discard post/poll. It just stays like its trying to submit but nothing happens.

@MassivelyIndie are you on the development branch?

@MassivelyIndie if you don't know, you're not. Download the plugin from there and place it in node_modules manually, for the time being. https://github.com/Schamper/nodebb-plugin-poll/tree/development

Boom! New release, no one saw that coming, huh?
Poll plugin version 0.2.0 was just published to NPM. Aside from being almost completely rewritten, it now works better than ever!
Some noteworthy changes:- NodeBB 1.0.0 compatible
- Reliably add a poll by editing the first post
- The creator will look for an existing poll in your post and allow you to edit it
- The creator itself has been completely overhauled
- The preview of your post doesn't show some bastardised list anymore
- Fresh new paint of code pretty much everywhere
- Mostly stable
Important! Polls created by a previous version (so < 0.2.0) will NOT work with this version of the plugin. Due to the amount of changes in the way how polls are stored, there are currently no plans of supporting older polls.
I've also updated the first post (it was still stuck on version 0.0.2
) and I even added some screenshots! -
Working great! A huge improvement on the older versions. Thanks!
Little bug. The poll doesn't work on replies, just the original first topic post, but I'm sure that was always the case. You can still create a poll in a reply, it just displays as the generated code.

@Danny-McWilliams not a bug, very much intentional
but I suppose it'd be better if this was shown somewhere. -

also in UX, having a single poll with multiple questions makes much more sense than having multiple polls with each one question.
