Re: Polls in the Fourms

Well, you can make your own poll on the forums by making a thread in inspiration and more. But it would be kinda cool to have the Scratch team make polls I guess.

Re: Polls in the Fourms

I've done a survey once, and it got a good amount of replies. I guess it would be neat to have surveys done by the Scratch Team, but you can do one yourself. And the best bit is, you choose what the question should be!

I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Polls in the Fourms

Or like some kind of poll project... It would be cool to have something like the forms in google docs...

Re: Polls in the Fourms

Hmmm... I've got an idea... What we could do, to have a poll, is make two image links. One means 'yes,' the other 'no.' They then lead to a php file that counts that visit to the page as a vote for whichever button referred to it, and then redirects the user back to the forum page. You could also include a dynamically generated image to feedback what the vote status is. This provides a secure, yet effective way of putting polls on the scratch forums. Come to think of it, the vote buttons could just be links... Talk about simple. On the PHP side, it could be as follows:

Code:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO Polls (poll1) VALUES ('yes')");

And we now have a counted vote!
