Poll Template

Since v1.6.6 A Poll Template is displayed in the page creation wizard.

Recent Polls Macro

This application provides also a macro that displays the most recent polls created.

• You can use this macro, by writing in a page with wiki editor:
  {{pollsrecent limit=10 /}}
  Where the macro parameter limit is the maximum number of polls that you want to be displayed on your page. Its default value is 5.

• Or, if you don't want to set a maximum number of entries, you just write:
  {{pollsrecent /}}

This is how it will look like before adding polls:

And after adding them:
