How can I add an automatic poll like here on the support forum?

Hi, I'm having trouble adding an automatic poll to my forum. I'd like the auto poll to be activated for the suggestions

You want it so the entire forum is polls? Or just regular topics (excluding sticky's, etc.)

regular topics.(excluding sticky's etc.)

Hi @Ghost,

You can add this by going to Modules > JavaScript codes management > and create a new script

Placement : In all the pages

Code:

window.location.pathname == '/post' && $(function () {
  var lang = {
    info : 'The poll will be added automatically.',
    poll_question : 'Do you agree or disagree ?',
    poll_answers : 'Agree\nDisagree'
  };

  if (document.post && document.post.mode.value == 'newtopic' && document.post.f.value == 14) {
    $(document.post.poll_title).closest('fieldset').html('<strong>' + lang.info + '</strong><input type="hidden" name="poll_title" value="' + lang.poll_question + '" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_option_text" value="' + lang.poll_answers + '"><input type="hidden" name="poll_length" value="30" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_cancel_vote" value="1" />');
  }
});

The 14 in document.post.f.value == 14 is the id of the forum this will be applied to.

At the top of the script you can adjust the language settings and poll answers. Note that multiple answers should be separated by \n also known as a "newline" character.

Thank you, @Ange Tuteur. Also for sub-forums, am I suppose to do the same?

If you're applying this to multiple forums then I'd suggest this approach :

Code:

window.location.pathname == '/post' && $(function () {
  var forums = [1, 2, 3, 14],

  lang = {
    info : 'The poll will be added automatically.',
    poll_question : 'Do you agree or disagree ?',
    poll_answers : 'Agree\nDisagree'
  },

  i = 0,
  j = forums.length,
  f;

  if (document.post && document.post.mode.value == 'newtopic') {
    f = document.post.f.value;
   
    for (; i < j; i++) {
      if (f == forums[i]) {
        $(document.post.poll_title).closest('fieldset').html('<strong>' + lang.info + '</strong><input type="hidden" name="poll_title" value="' + lang.poll_question + '" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_option_text" value="' + lang.poll_answers + '"><input type="hidden" name="poll_length" value="30" /><input type="hidden" name="poll_cancel_vote" value="1" />');
        break;
      }
    }
  }
});

At the top is an array called "forums", it contains multiple forum ids that the script should be applied to. Make sure to separate each id by a comma.

Okay, thanks.
