Check usage (experimental)

PollDaddy is a MediaWiki extension to insert polldaddy.com polls into the wiki. It was originally based off of Sylvain Machefert's GoogleVideo and YouTube video extensions, but has been re-written to use parameters within the tag to make it more elegant and secure.

Usage

Put the following code into the page where you want to display a poll, replacing "12345" with the correct poll ID number:

<polldaddy pollid="12345"/>

Installation

1. Download the source code and put it into $IP/extensions/PollDaddy as PollDaddy.php
2. Add
   require_once("$IP/extensions/PollDaddy/PollDaddy.php");
   into your wiki's LocalSettings.php
3. Installation can now be verified through Special:Version
