Advanced Poll on Groups.Drupal.org?

ChrisKennedy — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 13:56:28 +0000

Looks like there's been a request to use Advanced Poll on Groups.Drupal.Org:

http://groups.drupal.org/node/7534

If it happens it would be great visibility for the module and a huge population for generating bug reports and feature requests.

Input on upcoming 1.0 release

ChrisKennedy — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 19:26:05 +0000

Hey guys, Anders and I are planning to do an official 1.0 release of Advanced Poll pretty soon. This will be a high quality version of Advanced Poll that has all major features working and is relatively bug free. It will also serve as the base for our Drupal 6 port of advpoll, which we will start working on after the first D6 Release Candidate, so it needs to be solid.

If there is anything in particular you want to argue for, or unreported bugs you've found, now is the time to speak up.

Goals for the next month

ChrisKennedy — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 03:32:09 +0000

Here's what I would like to be accomplished over the next month:

Fix all bugs currently in the issue queue and implement all feature requests.
Better display/theming of configuration options in the poll display (e.g. duration, starting date, eligibility, etc.).
Views integration.
Default options per content-type.
jQuery magic for ranking votes.
Email capability for electoral list - option to send to all who are eligible, those who have voted, or those who haven't voted.
Actual releases for 5.0 and 4.7 branches.

It's also time for some progress evaluation from last month, when I had the following priorities for my work on Advanced Poll:

Enhanced electoral list functionality
Fix all currently open bugs
Reset votes button
Results caching
Starting date
PostgreSQL support
Port to Drupal 5.0
jQuery magic for ranking votes

As of tonight, all except for the last goal were accomplished! We also got fajerstarter's great Ajax voting patch working, which is an impressive addition.

Approval Voting via Advanced Poll

ChrisKennedy — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 21:56:51 +0000

The Advanced Poll module now supports approval voting in CVS. Approval voting is implemented by adding a "maximum choices" option for each poll. If it is set to one the poll behaves as usual and users can only vote for one option. If it is set to something else (something greater than one, or 0 for no limit) users may check off the choices that they approve of, up to whatever "maximum choices" is set to. For example, if maximum choices is set to "2" users may vote for their top two choices in a given poll.

About Advanced Poll

Advanced Poll seeks to expand upon the default poll.module by providing all current features and implementing additional voting systems and electoral methods. Currently Advanced Poll supports pluraility voting, approval voting, and instant-runoff voting. It also supports "electoral lists," which optionally limits voting to users with the appropriate permissions at the time the poll is created. Future plans include Ranked Pairs (Condorcet), Borda Count, CPO-STV, Ajax support, and more.

Bug reports and feature requests are encouraged as the module currently has little input outside of the development group. Additional developers would also be great if anyone is interested in implementing voting systems.
