Full Version: Poll Plugin

I was wondering about the possibility of a plugin that would facilitate polls in blogs. I was thinking it would have an admin page for the polls.

I'm not very sure about how polls on webpages work, so I'm not sure if it'd be a better idea to have it as a separate script, or a plugin (with a poll admin page).

Unfortunately, I have no idea as to how one would go about creating such a plugin. Would it be better to just have the poll handled by a separate script and then so a SSI on it? Also what other documentation is there for making plugins? I read the one on O'Reilly, and was wondering if there were any additional resources out there.

Sounds like the kind of functionality I should incorporate into a future version of my MTVote plugin.
neurostar
Yeah, something similar to the polls on Slashdot.

btw, the plugin you're referencing allows users to vote for a particular post, correct?

Thanks,

At the moment, it does, yes.  But that doesn't mean that I can't extend it further. smile.gif
