[nodebb-plugin-poll] Poll plugin

MassivelyIndie

@MassivelyIndie are you on the development branch?

How do I determine that?

Schamper

@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!

@Schamper The look and feel of this new version is really nice. Thank you for this update on the behalf of all my forum users and myself.

great, its working fine @Schamper

Danny McWilliams

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.

Schamper

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

Good work mate I used to use this plugin before but stopped. I think this is the only voting plugin out there for nodebb, that i'm aware of at least.

Schamper

@Joykiller thanks, and yes it is

@Schamper I just installed this and I do not see the button in the composer?

Schamper

@torn2 did you enable the plugin?

torn2

@Schamper Yes, using Persona and Node version 1.0.4-auto.1.

And this is what the composer looks like when I create a new post.

@Schamper Nevermind, I installed it incorrectly. It works!

Version 0.2.2 was published yesterday. This version includes support for a bunch more languages (thanks everyone who contributed).

It also now supports privileges for creating a poll. By default it will be enabled for registered users on every category you have, but this can be fine tuned when editing a category in the ACP. Additional privileges, such as voting, might be added at a later point.

How to edit the Poll afterwards? If I click on the poll button in edit window, I get "Invalid Request" error ...

Schamper

@Boris-Dragosani poll editing is not yet supported.
