Adding a Poll to a Wiki Page
No surprise here, polls (like everything else) can be added to a wiki page.
You already have the a poll in the right column. Go ahead and create a new poll that you will add to the home page... you already know how!
Tip
Now that you have a new poll, you can add it to the home page.
- On the Home Page, click the Edit button.
Note
Because the registered user you created earlier has permission to edit wiki pages, you can perform this action using that login, or as the administrator. - On the Edit page, in the Edit area type:
{poll pollId="XX"}
Where XX is the ID of the poll you created.
Note
If you omit an ID number, such as {poll}, Tiki will display a random, active poll.
- Click Save. Tiki prompts for confirmation, then saves the information and reloads the page. You now have a poll on your home page.
In addition to polls, you can also create quizzes and surveys with Tiki. Refer to the Tiki documentation for information on these features.
Because you previously added the poll to the right column, the poll now appears twice for visitors when they view the HomePage. Let's fix this by turning off the poll in the right column only on the HomePage.
- Select Settings > Modules from the menu module.
Tip
You can also access the Admin Modules page by clicking Modules in the Quick Admin module.} - On the Admin Modules page, click Assigned Modules tab, then select the Right module tab.
- Select Actions > Edit for the poll custom module you created previously.
- In the Parameters area of the Edit page, type
nopage=HomePage
. This will turn off (hide) the poll module when the HomePage is being viewed.
Note
See http://doc.tiki.org/Module+Parameters for complete information on the available module paramters. - Click Assign. Tiki prompts for confirmation, then saves the information and reloads the page.
When you view the HomePage, the poll module is no longer in the right column. But, if you navigate to another page, the poll appears.
