Creating a website with Joomla 1.5: Poll

Creating a Poll in Joomla 1.5

Now we will place a poll for finding out what visitors think about our new site. For this purpose from the top menu choose Components -> Polls:

We are going to create a new poll by clicking on [New] from the top - right menu. We will call the poll: "What do you think about our site?".

In the left menu we will list all the options on the poll: "Great", "Not bad", "Awful".

To save the new poll, we click on [Save] from the top right menu.

Now the poll has to be made public, i.e. to be published. For this purpose we click on Extensions -> Module Manager from the top menu:

Then we choose [New] from the top - right menu and find Poll from the options listed and check it.

Then we click on "Next" from the top - right menu.

We will make the following changes

1. Set the title to: What do you think about our new site?
2. Set "Show title" to "No".
3. From the right box, Module Parameters, Poll we select our poll called "What do you think about our new site".

Finally we click on [Save] from the top right menu and we will have a poll on our frontpage.
