MultiPoll Plugin
Compatible with DokuWiki
>=2006-11-06
Lets you add slightly extended polls to a wiki page. (from poll plugin by Gina Häußge, Michael Klier and previously Esther Brunner)
The missing download url means that this extension cannot be installed via the Extension Manager. Please see Publishing a Plugin on dokuwiki.org. Recommended are public repository hosts like GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.
This extension has not been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues.
This plugin is the result of an attempt of mine to make the original poll plugin meet my requirements, I heavily hacked into its code, thus it looks very similar … I do not attempt to “steal” the original work, but the code I ended with was too much different to just propose a patch … If the authors of the poll plugin are interested in a merge, they are welcome !!!

Syntax
Use this plugin to add a poll to a wiki page. The syntax looks like this:
<multipoll [hideresults] [hideifvoted] [showresultsto]=user,@grp,... | [id]> [question 1] * [option] * [option] * ... [question 2] * [option] * [option] [multivaluated question] + [option] + [option] + [option] + ... </multipoll>
| [hideresults] | hides the results of the poll to users who don't have write access on the page, displays a “You already voted” message instead | optional |
|---|---|---|
| [hideifvoted] | completly hides the poll once the user voted, only users with write access on the page can see the results | optional |
| [showresultsto] | comma separated list of users or @groups which can see the results without the need to vote or to have editing rights | optional |
| [id] | the ID of the poll; must be unique1); appears as title | required |
| [question] | the question you'd like to ask | optional |
| [option] | a possible answer to the immediately above question | required |
The poll title is converted to a md5sum. This is used as the filename in data/meta: md5sum.multipoll - so all polls in the whole wiki must be unique. As a result you can move your poll around and the poll data is accessible. If you remove the poll you must remove the poll data with “rm”.
Installation Notes
When the blog plugin is also installed, you need to turn $conf['plugin']['blog']['useifmodifiedsince'] off. I will try to eliminate this incompatibility.
