Polls back online

Website Comments by FLASHPRO

I got the graph for the poll results working this morning. These old polls are accessible in the Beer Brain module, but the polling system will eventually be changed. The changes I hope to make are: 1) Different graph formats. Right now it's a pie chart and I'd like to make bars and a text version. 2) Poll of the Week. This could go along with the BP Weekly Highlights theme. I'm really trying to fill the site with new content on a regular basis. In the past, polls often went months without changing. 3) Members only results. Though we'll still allow visitors to vote in all polls, I want to have two sets of results! The separate count of member's votes will make it impossible for people to vote mutiple times, and it'll be interesting to see if there are differences between the general population and us. 4) Link each poll to its own forum topic. Hopefully it will encourage discussion about the various polls. Once the members only results are working, I'll let everyone vote in each of the existing polls again. There are also at least 3 polls that will be deleted, since they were questions about things that have already been answered, like "Should non-member reviews be discontinued?".

Nice work Flash, I think these improvements will be beneficial for this site. I think this is a good way to spur discussion about the various polls.

OK, you'll notice the Polls data on your profile page has reset to 0. I started a new table counter for members only so you can all re-vote in all the polls. For now, there is a 2nd poll pie chart on the results page that shows only the member vote results. Hopefully there are no bugs yet!
