Umbraco Polling Package

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Zac

I've worked with Umbraco for a while now and have loved working with the robust, extensible CMS.  Its community has been very helpful.  To repay the community, I've created an Ajax Polling package.  You can view a demo here.

This allows the user to easily create a Poll within an umbraco page or as a standalone macro.

You can download the package for the Umbraco Poll here.  This is the first Umbraco package I've released for general use, so feel free to ping me with comments, suggestions and questions.

 

Here are a few notes regarding the package:

  1. You must be running .NET 3.5.  This package utilizes LINQ.
  2. You need to run the PollSQL.sql file on your SQL Server db to create the necessary views and tables for the poll package
  3. The package uses the appSettings key umbracoDBDSN to connect to the db. 
    <appSettings>
    <add key="umbracoDBDSN" value="server=YOURSERVER; database=YOURDB; user id=USER; password=PASS">
  4. This package uses the .NET 3.5 updated version of System.Web.Extensions.  If you aren't currently using this version, you will need to update your web.config appropriately.  If there are many questions regarding this, I'll provide more details.
