Poll

Description

Poll plug-in allows you to quickly develop and publish user polls to your site as well as to analyze responses obtained from visitors.

This is a voting application that provides a website administrator with the model needed to setup basic polls. You can create the poll in a closed form by defining the question as well as a set of possible answers for the visitors of your site.

It is a standard internet poll with a title, question, and multiple answers (radio box).Visitors can choice one answer, and after press 'vote' button poll result will be displayed. By default, Vivvo Poll allows each visitor to vote only once.

There is 'All polls' link, placed at the bottom of the window. It will display the list of all polls: a title, question and results of voting for each of the polls. The plug-in keeps a record of the answers, so that the basic statistics of the results and charts can be immediately displayed.

Old polls can be kept on the site so that they can still be viewed by visitors, but they will not be able to vote in them as only the current poll can be used for voting purposes.

Clicking on 'All Polls' will display any polls that are still on the system - this includes all the polls that have not been deleted by the site manager.
