Notes[edit]

wiki_etc. - Images must be placed into the folder
.../extensions/Poll/images/ - Update.php must be ran after installation, else you will get a database error.
Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
Pollin yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php:require_once "$IP/extensions/Poll/Poll.php";
- Execute the file Poll.sql in order to create required tables (sorry no auto-install, feel free to add it yourself)
PATH_TO_MYSQL/mysql -h <host> -u <username> -D <database name> -p < <path to Poll.sql file>
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
