poll

With the PyLucid poll plugin you can make some simple polls. Here a example poll:

↑ Features  #

• A poll can have unlimited choices
• You can make a few polls
  • Put one or more specific poll(s) somewhere into cms page
  • Put all existing polls into one page
• You can deactivate polls (no more votes allowed)
• You can limit how can make votes and who can see the poll by: user type (anonymous, staff- or super-users) or user group
• You can limit how many votes from one IP address are allowed
• You can put a poll on different sites at the same time

↑ TODO  #

• Fix cache problem for anonymous users
• Add localization support
• Use PyLucid IP-Ban function
• Add a link to results, so the user must not vote to see it
• nice to have:
  • Add a edit link for staff users
  • Use AJAX view for vote

↑ limits anonymous votes  #

There is no way to really limit the votes from anonymous users!

We set a COOKIE on the client to mark him as "has vote", but the user can delete the cookie and vote again ;)

But you can limit the votes from the same IP address. On the other site you can block people sitting behind a proxy ;)

If the poll is not allowed to anonymous user, every user can really vote one time!

↑ code examples  #

Display the newest, active and voteable poll:

1

{% lucidTag poll %}

Put a specific poll into cms page (Where x is the id of the poll):

1

{% lucidTag poll id=x %}

Put all existing polls into a page:

1

{% lucidTag poll.all_polls %}

You can filter the polls with hide_deactivated and/or not_voteable, e.g.:

1

{% lucidTag poll.all_polls hide_deactivated=True not_voteable=True %}
