Cool ! It looks really good. I agree it would have been nice to have umbraco administration, but I was looking for super simple admin as it will be updated every week. btw: If you do not have Visual Studio you can use the free WebMatrix for these little programs : http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/

I downloaded these files, but I'm not sure I have the luxury of a separate database for storing poll data(?) Also, it seems like the creation of questions and answers are not integrated with the Umbraco admin? I'm really hounded by my client to get a poll function working on one of my Umbraco sites. Is this the best and most integrated solution for Umbraco so far or is there a better/simpler solution? /Thomas

Nope Petr, that's another great package by Tim. Star rating package is for ... well... star rating whereas Thomas is looking for a poll application, where admins can create questions/answer combinations in content section and where users may choose an option in the frontend. Greetz, /Dirk

I have Tim's AJAX Poll package installed and working! There is one small detail that I need to fix before I can publish it. In the two screencasts you can see how the pollNodeId is added using a dynamic parameter that is a Content Picker. In the template the macro is added like this: Code:
<?ASPNET_FORM>
<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="Poll" pollNodeId="[#currentQuestion]"></?UMBRACO_MACRO>
</?ASPNET_FORM>
The problem in my case is that this only works on the page that has the parameter "currentQuestion". In my case I want the poll displayed on all the pages in my site and thus I would need to make the paramter "currentQuestion" recursive so that all pages will look further up in the hierarchy for the NodeId of the current question. How do I fix this?

Hi again! I just want to make sure before I dig into the component code: Is there any easy way in Umbraco to make a macro parameter for a .NET macro recursive? I tried the [$parameter] syntax but it doesn't work in Umbraco 3.0.3 (at least as far as I can see). If not, I will atempt to re-code of the component and try to fetch the value recursivelly from withing the .NET code. /Thomas K

Making it recursice shoudn't be that hard, a little loop that will look for the property in the document's parents.

I've got it sorted. :-) Actually there was a C# function for finding a property recursivelly posted here on the forum. So I took it and incorporated it in Tim's Poll add-on and it worked like a charm. :-) Thanks Tim for sharing the Poll code and Andrew Cullen for posting the recursive function!
