Extension:Poll

Purpose
Anonymous polling. Will give number of votes for each answer in same window. Result of others can be seen before voting.

Usage
Do you like this extension? Yes No I don't know yet.

Installation
cd /PATH_TO_MEDIAWIKI/extensions svn export http://mediawiki.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Poll/
 * install the latest version from svn

PATH_TO_MYSQL/mysql -h -u -D --password= < 
 * execute the file Poll.sql in order to create required tables (sorry no auto-install, fell free to add it yourself)
 * add require_once("{$IP}/extensions/Poll/Poll.php"); to LocalSettings.php

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!!
