1.3 Instalation

Add Products.PlonePopoll in your buildout.cfg eggs list.

Use the portal_quickinstaller of your Plone site.

Contributors and others can add polls.

Managers can add and configure PoPoll portlets using the new Plone 3 portlets managers.

Users of older PlonePopoll versions will notice that the (now useless) configuration panel has disappeared.

1.5 Architecture

A poll can be in one and only one of those states:

enabled
disabled

Results can be in one and only one of those states:

visible
not visible

Poll can have multiple choice activated, determining how many choice a user can do.

1.6 Note

Within Plone, it's possible to vote for a poll only if it is enabled AND published.

Results are displayed only when the Results Visibility is set to visible.

1.7 Migration

If you migrate from an oooooold PlonePopoll version (1.x) that's not Archetypes based, create an external method in your Plone site:

Id: migrate_popoll
Title: (whatever)
Module: PlonePopoll.Migration
Function: migrateToArchetypes

Then click the "Test" tab of this external method.

Localisation issues - other than french and english - should be reported to the relevant translators (see Credits below).

Report bugs using the tracker (the Tracker link from http://plone.org/products/plonepopoll). Please provide in your bug report:

Your configuration (Operating system+Zope+Plone+Products/versions).
The full traceback if available.
One or more scenario that triggers the bug.

Note that we do not support bug reports on Subversion trunk or branches checkouts, unless

Mail to Ingeniweb support in English or French to ask for specific support.

Donations are welcome for new features requests

2 CHANGES

2.1 Considered future features

New types of polls may be interesting (Idea from http://www.apwiz.com/flexivote.htm):

open poll lets you see results before voting
in a blind vote you must vote first, but can see all details
In private poll you see results but not how people voted
In a secret vote only the owner can see results and voting pattern.

2.2 To do

Test SQL back-end (find volunteers, we don't want to support this in the future).
Cleanup and spread in appropriate external methods what's in Extensions/Install.py. We install with GenericSetup from now.
Provide zconfig features to select and configure the votes back-end (see note about SQL back-end above)
Use a Zope 3 view for the poll to speed up
Should we keep migrations ? (useless for old AT based Popoll).
Notify translators about new msgids.
Why are the entries of the combo in portlet configuration untranslated when the code (browser/popoll.py)
