Adding a Poll to a Module

You guessed it... Just like all the other features, polls can be displayed in a module.

However, since you created a custom poll, there is no pre-defined module to use. In this section, you will create a new module in which to display the poll.

Creating a Module

Now that you have created the poll module, you need to assign it to a column (just like you did previously with the other modules).

Assigning the Poll Module

1. From the Admin Modules page, click Assign modules.
   

   Tip: You can click Assign in the User Modules section for the My Poll module to automatically populate the fields in the Assign new module area.

   
   
   
   

   The Assign new module area of the Admin Modules page.
2. In the Assign new module area, enter the following information in each field:
   • Module name: Select the poll module that you just created.
   • Position: Select right. You will add this module to the right column.
   • Order: Select 25. This will place the poll module at the bottom of the right column, under all the other modules.
   • Groups: Select Anonymous, so that all visitors can see the module.
   
   

   Note: Do you remember when you configured the polls that you enabled the Allow Anonymous Poll Voting option? Selecting the Anonymous group here will allow visitors to actually view the poll.

3. Click Preview. Tiki reloads the page and shows you a preview of the module.
   
   

   This is what the module will look like.
4. If everything looks good, click Assign. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.

The poll now appears in the right column.

Note: You may have to click clear cache on the Admin Modules page.
