Its very easy to publish polls into your joomla website. My previous article was “Art of Joomla”. Now I have written in my article “How to set poll module at right position and at content position”.
Let’s start with the Right position of poll module.
I have followed the below steps and get polls into my website. You will also found it interesting.
- Firstly I will log in to the Administrator back-end.
- Then I Click the Components> Polls menu item.The Poll Manager screen is opened.
- Now I click the New toolbar button to create my poll.
- Type the question like , I would like to type Vote for Magzine in the Title field .
- Hmm, then I Type an abbreviated title of my poll in the Alias field.
- Select the No or Yes radio button to publish or not poll. As I have selected the Yes.
- The I will move to type in the Options fields the possible choices for the answers of my poll.
- Now at end I will click on Save or Apply toolbar button to implement the new settings for my poll.
- I can see the title of my Poll in the Poll Manager table. From here I can edit if need to change poll title or answer options. Am done with the first step. Now my poll has been created.
Hmmm, Let’s take look with me “How I will publish this poll”
- Firstly I will click the Extensions> Module Manager menu item to view the Module Manager screen.
- Now click the New toolbar button to activate my new poll module.
- I will select the Poll radio button from the list of installed modules.
- The next step, I will click the Next toolbar button
- After clicking Next button, I will type the title of my Poll module in the Title field.
- Select the Yes radio button to choose if my module title is published. There is also option for No. You can choose it according to your requirement.
- Similarly in case of radio button enable/publish for module to my site.
- Select the module position from the drop down menu. Am going to select the right position.
- Now I will select the order that want this module to appear on my web site if there are more than one module assigned to this position
- Select the Access Level as to who is able to see this module on my Web site.
Menu Assignment – Now I will move to menu assignment for my new poll module.
- I will select from the Menu radio buttons All, None or Select Menu Item(s) from the List. Like I have choose “Vote” from menu item.
- Then I will select the Menu items to determine which pages you wish to appear your poll.
- I will click the Save or Apply toolbar button to implement the new settings.
We are done with creation and publishing poll module. That’s great, When I will preview my site ohooooooo , I can see my newly created polls at right position .
Now, I wanted to set the position of polls (or module) into my website at content area. I would like share with you also.Its Very quick and easy process.
- Firstly , I have created article , using the Article Manager . I have given the name to my article is “Poll at content Area”.
- In above writing , I have mentioned the Right position of Poll Module.
- Here I have changed the position of my Poll Module with position of which should not be conflict with the existing position of the template.
- Now, I will use “{loadposition xx}” command. I have put this command into my article.
- “xx” is place where you can put your poll module position. But keep in mind this position should not be conflict with the existing position of template.Aaaa , To avoid this problem you can put your own position name “my position” instead to select from drop down menu.
- After following above step, ahaaaaa I can see my Poll module into article or content area of my Web site.
Note that this only works when the plugin ‘Content – Load Module’ is enabled. If this plugin is disabled, the text “{loadposition myposition}” shows unchanged in the article.
