TFK Guide: How to create a poll?

TFK

Polls are a bit different on all new TFK. Here’s how to create one:

A simple poll:

Do you like rugby?

[poll]
- I despise rugby with every ounce of my being
- I merely hate rugby
[/poll]
  • I despise rugby with every ounce of my being
  • I merely hate rugby

0 voters

This is a second poll within the same post, need to give it a name to distinguish it from the first one:

What are your thoughts on Game of Thrones?

[poll name=poll2]
- weird thing for freaks
- I like goblins and things of that nature
[/poll]
  • weird thing for freaks
  • I like goblins and things of that nature

0 voters

This is a poll where you can select up to three options:

Who are your favourite Celtic players?

[poll name=Celtic type=multiple min=1 max=3]
- Craig Gordon
- Nir Bitton
- Leigh Griffiths
- Stefan Johansen
- Virgil Van Dijk
- I love them all equally
[/poll]
  • Craig Gordon
  • Nir Bitton
  • Leigh Griffiths
  • Stefan Johansen
  • Virgil Van Dijk
  • I love them all equally

0 voters

This is the second post of the thread and I can still include a poll using the same format as above:

[poll]
- Option A
- Option B
[/poll]
  • Option A
  • Option B

0 voters

This is a poll where there are little icons inside the options for no apparent reason

[poll name=whatever]
- :sunny: Option A
- :phone: Option B
[/poll]
  • :sunny: Option A
  • :phone: Option B

0 voters

This is a poll with a scale of numbers:

Aiden McGeady’s player rating for Ireland v England:

[poll name=Aiden type=number min=1 max=10][/poll]

[poll name=Aiden type=number min=1 max=10][/poll]

Public polls are now a thing. The easiest way of accessing them is via the cog icon on the composer menu :gear:

  • Yes it’s working this time
  • It’s still not working

0 voters

Where is the composer menu on mobile devices?

Can we still create polls using the code?

Hit the hamburger menu on the top right as you’re writing to toggle the icons on mobiles.

And yes, the code still works. This is just a shortcut.

“Show who voted”?! This could get interesting…

Indeed, it is how it should be as well, could be time for a referendum on the celeb spotting thread. :grinning:

Still no option for the tallies to be private until the poll closes?
