Hi,

I'm about to begin building a new website in umbraco for a client. But the site is pretty advanced, so if you guys have some ideas how to realize the functions(ex. guides, tuts or packages), please write them down. I've listet the clients demands beneath:

- Newsletter
- Voting/poll
- Member forum
- Gallery: Where you can add comments to the images.


Cheers,
Mads

Hi,

For the gallery check out : http://hartvig.com/media/gal2.html
And for adding comments you will need to have autoforms installed.

For the poll:
http://tim.netcentric.be/2007/8/22/ajax-poll-package.aspx
I can also give you the source code so you can adjust it to your needs.

Hi Tim,

Thanks alot for the links. The Poll looks nice, but I'm getting this error: 'The control with ID 'UpdatePanel1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it.'. I've added the 'activepoll' property on the Poll nodetype.

Are you running v3 ? Because the poll is for v3 ( it uses asp.net ajax ). If so, have you placed form tags in your template ?

Code:

<?ASPNET_FORM></?ASPNET_FORM>


.net usercontrols need to be between the form tags

That fixed the issue, but still no Poll on my page.

Is it possible for you to make a quick little step by step guide on how to set up the poll against v3.?

Cheers,
Mads

Cheers,

Hey Mads,

You can find the screencast here:

Part1:http://testing.netcentric.be/TG.AjaxPoll/Part1/
Part2:http://testing.netcentric.be/TG.AjaxPoll/Part2/

No audio and a high screenresolution but it should be clear enough to get you going.

The ajax poll package is only at version 0.1 so in order to modify it to your needs, you will have to adjust the source (C#). I'll post it later on ...

Greets,

Tim

I did some test and will be releasing a version which uses radiobuttons instead of linkbuttons. Did you get it running ?

I don't think a forum in umbraco is a good idea, its a lot of work to get everything working, also making a forum "hacker proof" takes huges amount of time, and even then your are not sure its good enough.

Tim!

Your poll package looks nice, I'd like to modify it a bit, adding diagrams etc. Any chance you could post the source? or email it to me at stephan [at] bigfinger .se.

Cheers!

Hi!

I'm looking for the Poll Package, but the above links don't work? Have you moved the files Tim?

I want to make a simple web question function with predefined answers that the administrator can update on a weekly basis with questions like:

Which color do you like best?

[ ] Red
[ ] Green
[ ] Blue

[ SUBMIT ]

(Really stupid question, but you get the idea). ;-)
After the answer is submitted it would be nice with a miniature diagram that presents the result. Also I'd like to set a cookie so it's harder for one person to vote several times in a row.

Before I start coding a custom control, I'd just like to check if there's something already made.
