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:
- You must be running .NET 3.5. This package utilizes
LINQ.
- You need to run the PollSQL.sql file on your SQL Server
db to create the necessary views and tables for the poll
package
- 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">
- 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.
