Instructions

• Edit your site content and add this app to the applications list.
• Configure the Poll app and select the styling option. (See the Styling section below)
• Optionally add a CSS class to the part container.
• Create a Poll content.
• Enter the poll question in the <Display Name> field. Enter two or more options.
• Optionally add a date and time for closing the poll.
• Checking the "Require login" box will prevent non-logged in users from answering the poll. Only use this if your site has a login page.
• Add the Poll part to the desired location on the page.
• Configure the Poll part with the desired poll content.
• Optionally add a heading to the poll part that will appear above the question.
• Save and publish the page with the new poll.
• Close a poll at any time to prevent further entries by editing the Poll content and checking the "Close poll" box.

Styling

The app configuration has three options for styling: "Default", "Bootstrap", and "None". If the default styling does not match the look of your site then it can be overridden with custom CSS. The default styling can be completely removed by selecting "None" in the app configuration but this will require custom CSS rules in your main app's CSS files. If your site uses Bootstrap then the "Bootstrap markup" setting will render the poll in a Bootstrap panel.

A CSS class can be added to the poll part container element in the app configuration. This can help the poll to match existing styling rules on your website without changing CSS. This will only be helpful in certain situations and you'll need to know exactly what class to add based on your website's code.

Note

This app uses jQuery with noConflict so it will not interfere with another version of jQuery that might be installed on a site.
