Voting / Polls

CREATING A NEW POLL

  2. From the navigation menu, choose Applications
  3. Choose Voting
  4. You will now see the "Add Voting Booth" dialog box. Here you can define your font, font size, font color and graph bar color.
  5. Redirect Page URL: This could be the results page of the poll if you have chosen to display results on a separate page, or it may be any website URL / page you choose.
  6. Voting Question: This should be the question you want displayed on your webpage for visitors to vote on.

    For example:-
    What is Your Favorite Color?

  7. New Voting Items: This is the area where you define the "choices" the visitor has to choose from with respect to their opinion of the poll.

    For example:-
    Red
    Blue
    Green
    Yellow

    Once you have completed all the required field, you may click on Add Voting Booth. This will now create a second dialog box at the top of your page titled, Current Voting Set-up. Now all you need to do is copy/paste the html script into the appropriate page of your website.

  8. Click Show Code
  9. You will then be able to show the code for both your voting form as well as the voting results page. You will need to ensure you paste BOTH pieces of code either on the same HTML page, or on two separate pages. (depending if you want results displayed on another page or on the same page). First off, click To show the voting form. Copy/Paste this code onto the webpage of your site where you want the Poll to appear. Remember, if you are using a WYSIWYG editor, you must paste the code into the HTML section.
  10. Now return back, and click To show the voting results
  11. Copy/Paste the results code wherever you want results to appear on your site. This could be on the same page as the Poll, or on another page completely. It doesn't matter whatsoever where you choose to place the results/graph.
