To create your first poll follow the steps listed below:
Login in as an administrator with the permission to add a new poll. Access the Poll module.
Click the link called 'New' from the Poll administrative menu. At this point you will be presented with a form to create a new poll. The fields are explained below along with examples.
Title - This is not the poll question, but instead a short title that is used as the block title.
Question - Put the survey poll question that you would like your users to vote on in this field.
Options - The options are the possible answers to the poll question. The poll module defaults to showing only one field for an option, but you can have as many answers to your question as you would like by repeatedly clicking the button that says Add Option.
Users - Do you want users that are not logged into phpWebsite to be able to cast their vote on your poll? If you choose 'Yes' then only users that are logged in will be able to vote on the poll, and if you choose 'No' then all users will be able to vote regardless of whether they are logged in or not.
Active - This option determines whether this poll will be placed on the homepage immediately after it is created. Note that any poll that is currently active will be disabled and replaced by the new poll if set to active. The old poll will not be deleted, just not active. So, choose 'Yes' to make this poll show on the homepage of your site or choose 'No' to create the poll, but not make it visible at this time.
Allow Comments - Select 'Yes' if you would like this poll to allow users to post comments regarding the poll, or else choose 'No' to disable comments. The user comments will appear on the 'Poll Results' section.
Your new poll should now be successfully created after you click Submit
