Using Polls

You have already learned how create a poll and add it to a module or wiki page. Let's explore a bit more...

When you created the poll, you made the Publish Date the current date — this made the poll active immediately. You can also use the Active field, when creating a poll, to configure when the poll is "votable."

 Plugin disabled

Plugin annotation cannot be executed.


When creating a poll, you can specify if the poll is:

  • Active: Users can vote in the poll (based on the Publish Date).
  • Current: The poll is considered to be the current (primary) poll.
  • Closed: Users cannot vote in the poll, but it is retained for historical purposes.

 Note

The Template and Object options are not covered in this guide. See the TikiWiki documentation for details.

Viewing Poll Results

Having polls is great, but eventually you need to know the results.

  1. From the Admin menu, click Polls.
  2. The Admin Polls page lists all the current polls. Click the name of a poll to view its results.
    Polls
    Select a poll to view its results.
  3. The poll page displays the total number of votes and the current results.
    Poll Votes
    Only two users have voted, so far.
  4. Click Votes to show which users have voted in the poll, and how they voted.

 Note

Notice that only 2 users (admin and rick) are shown, yet the poll has a total of 5 votes. This is because 3 anonymous users have also voted. Since anonymous users are not logged in, Tiki cannot track their votes.
