Creating a poll
The easiest way to create a poll is to use the poll builder. The poll builder can be accessed from the
in the topic composer, and allows you to make a poll without needing to know the exact syntax.
Manually creating a poll
To create a poll surround a markdown list with
[poll]and[/poll][poll] - option one - option two - option three [/poll]or
[poll] * option one * option two * option three [/poll]or, for numbered options—
[poll] 1. option one 2. option two 3. option three [/poll]Any of the above create the following result:
- option one
- option two
- option three
0 voters
You can also make a poll with multiple choices. Simply add
type=multipleto the opening tag like so:[poll type=multiple] - option one - option two - option three [/poll]This creates the following result:
- option one
- option two
- option three
0 voters
To limit the number of choices (or set a minimum), add
min=Xand/ormax=Y[poll type=multiple min=2 max=2] - option one - option two - option three [/poll]This creates the following result:
- option one
- option two
- option three
- option four
0 voters
For a numbered poll, enter the following:
[poll type=number min=1 max=10][/poll]Which produces:
[poll name=“poll_4” type=number min=1 max=10][/poll]
You can also have it increment the numbers in steps using
step=X[poll type=number min=2 max=10 step=2][/poll]Which produces:
[poll name=“poll_5” type=number min=2 max=10 step=2][/poll]
If multiple polls are used in a single post (like this one!) be sure to give each poll a unique name, or they will not work. Do this by adding
name="poll_name"as a parameter.[poll name="poll_1"] 1. option one 2. option two 3. option three [/poll] [poll name="poll_3" type=multiple min=2 max=3] - option one - option two - option three - option four [/poll] [poll name="poll_5" type=number min=2 max=10 step=2][/poll]
Lastly, any poll can have the voters made “public” by adding
public=trueto the parameter list.Do you like polls?
- Yes
- No
