How to create a poll in a three easy steps?

  1. Open some article to editation (or create a new one).
  2. Insert the following code to your article:
    {minipolls id="thisJoomlaInstallationWas" title="This Joomla! installation was..."}
    Absolutely simple||
    Reasonably easy||
    Not straight-forward but I worked it out||
    I had to install extra server stuff||I had no idea and got my friend to do it||
    My dog ran away with the README ...
    {/minipolls}
    Each poll option is separated by "||" (two vertical pipe charactes).
  3. Save the article.

Do not forget to set the "id" attribute. Your poll is recognized by this unique identifier.



How to set a custom poll title?

Just specify the "title" attribute.

{minipolls title="This Joomla! installation was..."}
 

I want to change the theme. How can I do that?

All themes are based on a famous jQuery UI ThemeRoller and distributed by Core Design Scriptegrator plugin. There is an "uitheme" attribute (inline override) so don't be afraid to use it.

{minipolls uitheme="ui-lightness"}
or
{minipolls uitheme="vader"}


How do I adjust the poll width?

Core Design Mini Polls plugin is a very flexible piece of work. If you wanna change the poll width (each poll has 250px width by default), use a "progressbar_width" override.

{minipolls progressbar_width="300px"}
{minipolls progressbar_width="15em"}
{minipolls progressbar_width="60%"}
You can use any of available CSS notation. 


Is there a way how to enable multiple votes on the same poll?

"multiple_voting" attribute does the trick.

{minipolls multiple_voting="1"}
