Poll for portal page

[Megadeuce]

How do you set this up?

Make sure the module is active, and set the poll options listed under your default settings.

Hello Brian,
My forum is new. I have zero posts. it asks for the ID number of my polls forum. What is that?

Do I create a forum just for polls? and where would I get the ID from. If so, how can I make the forum for polls active but not show up on my main forum?

Sorry for all the questions but this mod is what I've been waiting for.

[Megadeuce]

OK,
I got the poll to set up and working.

I set the forum as non active because I didn't want it showing up on the forum index page. Will I have to set it active each time I want to make a new poll or is there a way around this?

Set the permissions of the forum to Admin only.

Thanks mholtum,
I don't how many times I've looked these settings over and overlooked this.

[mholtum]

Glad to help.

Set the permissions of the forum to Admin only.

Do you mean:

Post New Poll = Admin Only
Reply = All/registered

...?

[mholtum]

Yes. Then you would be the only one allowed to post new polls

Ok thanks... just a quick one here - how do you make a poll remain on the page such as the one here on vba.com...?

[mholtum]

Set it not to expire and don't create another poll.

Set it not to expire and don't create another poll.

... hmmm.... but what if I also want to display other polls in another module...?

[Megadeuce]

I just saw the answer to that in another thread in this forum.

You can set the poll not to expire in the forum manager.
