[edit] Installation Question
** Could you please explain the installation process with regards to the SQL file. I have no idea what the instructions are explaining, please for us the lamens?
How do you implement the sql file for use in the wiki? I have all the files but im stuck on the .sql file part :)- Thanks

- You will need to execute the contained sql. This can be done via the unix comand line, as seen above, or by pasting the contents of the file into a mysql manager like phpmyadmin 94.193.106.14 16:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
++I run it on windows but i opened my SQL manager and connected to the Wiki db then pretty much did an open file, execute Query. the script will handle the rest. Poll is working for me, just need to look into making a page for an admin to see who voted for what
This extension will not work with PostgreSQL!!
