Extension talk:PollNY


 * Q: I am trying to implement PollNY onto my web site (http://www.ressources-qhse.org). While creating a poll, I am limited to 2 possible answers (binary choice), while I would like to have some more so as to create Multiple Choices. A quick review of your code seems to allow up to 10 answers but I did not discover to to trigger this option. Any suggestion to leverage my searches?


 * A: No, you're not. You can have up to 10 answers. Are you seeing any JavaScript errors in your browser's debugging console when accessing the poll creation tool at Special:CreatePoll? What version of PHP, MySQL and MediaWiki are you using? What about your browser -- is it the most recent version available and is JavaScript enabled?


 * R: Server is a dedicaded server at OVH running OVH Release 2 (Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.44-r2, PHP Version 5.2.13-pl0-gentoo, latest officiel release of mediawiki). Tested with latest release of firefox under Max OS X Lion and Latest version of Ubuntu, javascript enabled. No error message received when creating poll. tested also using latest version of Safari (Mac OS X Lion) and Chromium (Ubuntu). 91.179.41.14 09:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm unable to reproduce this on my Windows 7 box with Internet Explorer 9. When I go to Special:CreatePoll, under "Answer Choices", there are two inputs. When I type something on the Answer Choice #2 input, Answer Choice #3 input appears and so on, up to Answer Choice #10. If by "latest official release of MediaWiki" you mean MediaWiki 1.17.x, I'd suggest upgrading to 1.18 (which hasn't just yet been released, but you can check it out via SVN: svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_18/phase3/ &mdash; I haven't really tested the social tools too much against 1.17 release branch and there have been some bug reports against the 1.17 branch of MW. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:45, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Is it a simple matter to expand the number of answers? I have a few polls to do with 15-20 answers each. Thanks! 155.206.9.6 16:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Q: has PollNY been tested against version 1.22?  Also, I Can't find support page link on this page? GitHub?


 * I'm pretty sure I tested it against 1.22. Regarding your previous edit, which was actually far more informative than this, PollNY requires Extension:SocialProfile; SP provides the UserStats class.


 * "I Can't find support page link on this page? GitHub?" What do you mean by this? This page, Extension talk:PollNY, is the official support page. Bugs should be reported on Bugzilla. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 00:43, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Wish list

 * A special group which allow registered group members to view the ongoing results without being forced to vote themselves (which often bias the results) RiskManager 09:00, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * A special poll status that "hides" the poll (usefull while developping it as group editors, or when it is closed and should not be visible anymore)91.179.86.70 14:42, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
