Hi,
I'm not getting this Ballot Module to work for me  :-\
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I'm new to this CMSMS system but I was expecting something like 'add ballot' in the admin panel but I can't see that.
I've installed all the Dependencies, I'am not getting errors but I've created a test user and he's logged in, I've created a page with the {ballot} tag but nothing shows up, I've also created a page with the {Ballots action="addballot"} tag but still nothing happens (just an empty page)

Could someone give me a hint on how to get this to work?

This is a GREAT module! I'm using it on a CMS site I'm working on now, and it works very nicely.

Question - Is there a way to assign a "category" to each ballot? Don't know if this is a new feature request or if there's a way to do it with some additional Smarty coding, but it would be much more powerful if it could display certain ballots on one page and other ballots on another.

Thanks!

I have the ballot working and it seems pretty easy.  Is there a way to make one group be able to add/edit ballots and all logged in users to be able to see the ballots, vote and see the results?

Is there also a way on the ballot form to reduce the size of the description and voting choices? Those fields are are streching on the screen and throwing everything off.

Thanks!

Is anyone else having a problem with the Description and Voting Choices fields stretching wider than the layout? No matter what I do, I can't make them smaller to fit the layout.

Hello,

i think for the default templates and configuration you also have to install the CustomContent module besides the ones given in help

Code: Select all

Dependencies

    * CGExtensions => 1.6
    * FrontEndUsers => 1.3.3
    * CGSimpleSmarty => 1.1.1
and the given calls

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="Ballots"}
didn't work with my installation i needed to change this to

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='Ballots'}
