Hello, I am trying to make a online image contest, but the users of the site have to vote for their favorite picture. I've created a page where the admin can upload the contestants and the people can see it in the front-end, but what I need to make is something like a poll but, per page, not in the entire site. My client says that mayber 3-4 polls can be taken at the same time.

Any ideas/suggestions/snippets for this???

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank You

Nice, I was looking that module yesterday but I can't figure how I can pass parameters to the function (I can create the poll with the same title of the page) and the $Title variable will be the parameter to select the specific poll for the page. I was trying to do something like

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
...
function MyPoll($Title) {
return new ShowPoll($this, $Title);
}
...
}

and, in the .ss I have to put $MyPoll($Title), but it doesn't seems to work, any suggestions??

When I get stuck with passing variable around I just use the session... bit hacky as it's like having global vaiables!

but Session::set('MyVar','something) and $myvar = Session::get('MyVar'); will get the job done

mmm nice solution... I have to put

Session::set('MyVar',$Title) and $myvar = Session::get('MyVar')

and then

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
...
function MyPoll() {
return new ShowPoll($this, Myvar);
}
...
}

and, in the .ss I have to put $MyPoll()

rigth?

hmmmm

I'd add a has_one Poll to the page so that in the cms the user can select the poll that is required on that page.
then in the init of the page I'd transfer the $this->PollID to the session
then in the poll display code I'd hack the bit that does a DataObject::get_one to get_by_id and use the value from the session

does that make sense?

mmm makes sense... let me try it in a few hours and I'll let you know how is it going. BTW whe you say:

I'd add a has_one Poll to the page so that in the cms the user can select the poll that is required on that page.

Do you mean add a TextField or something where the user will enter the Poll ID? Is there any other to do it? Maybe generate a combo with all the active polls? (Too much complicated) or better I'll try with a TextField?

I mean like this...

class MyPage extends Page { 
...
	static $has_one = array(
		'Poll' => 'Poll'
	);                         
...	
	function getCMSFields(){
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		$dosPoll = DataObject::get('Poll'); 
		$map = $dosPoll ? $dosPoll ->toDropdownMap('ID','PollTitle') : array();
		$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new DropdownField('PollID', 'Select a poll',$map)); 
		return $fields;
	}
...	
}
