SID-00531: Create Poll with CommentPlugin like ExtensionAppraisial

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	5.10.0
Category:	CategoryPlugins	Server OS:	Win XP	Last update:	16 years ago

Hello,

I am using TWiki 4.3.2 on Windows XP. I want to set up a poll with CommentPlugin because I can't get PollPlugin to work.

I would to have something like the Appraisal for Plugins in the end, but I can't use the ExtensionAppraisal for CommentPlugin because of missing template ExtensionAppraisalPoll.

Where can I get this Template? And can someone describe the way this Extension works to me (only very short)?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Maria,

You can have a customized poll. All you need to do is define custom templates. To Define custom templates, follow below procedure.

1. Go to TWiki web in your local TWiki installation.

2. Go to CommentPluginTemplate topic.

3. There will be a link to UserCommentsTemplate in the topic. Create this topic if it did not exist already.

4. Create a template with name "mycustomtemplate" or anyother name you like with details of how you want to give input and how you want to show output.

5. you can use call your custom template by writing

%COMMENT{type="mycustomtemplate"}%

6. There are good examples of templates in UserCommentsTemplate topic. You can see the raw source and copy them to your UserCommentsTemplate topic. You can find extension appraisal template too

Cheers!!!
