Interactive Poll?

rober · 08.08.2004, 05:42

Does anybody know how to go about modifying one of the existing poll components in this fashion?

I would like to offer my site visitors the option to either select one of my preset answers in a poll or... allow them to enter one of their own that perhaps after admin approval could be posted, maybe as a new "preset" option.

Does this make any sense?

I am planning several surveys and this would be a great tool to use if... it is feasable.

Try to contact Oli Merten, the developer of the PollXT component. See http://www.mamboxt.com

Hi,

what I'm planning since long time is to have "freetext" as answertype in PollXT, another planned feature is the possibility to edit results. Maybe on top of those two features, I could implement your requirement (I'm thinking about having a button "make new option" next to each freetext answer in the edit results screen). What do you think about that? Would that be something you could live with? Of course it will take some time to do that...

regards,

Oli

I think your ideas are great actually and I think allot of people could find great use of a poll such as you propose.

Thanks Oli

rober... finally I did a "lean version" of "user-defined options". Have a look at version 1.1. at http://mamboXT.com...
