Actually, I need a few more polls from users using your poll system to see if they don't pop. I have basic Achievement rules set up on the back on 'New poll created' and also if they vote on polls. I'm searching for clarification as to the IPS system recognises your polls as official polls so these rules will still work. I assume they will but I wanted to get confirmation if so. I'm also thinking @Kirill Gromov that once you update the app with all other polls, if a member creates a poll in the IPS standard way, it will show on the Poll page? I'm updating today, so if you can let me know when the next update of this is out that would be great so i can manage member expectations. Thank you!

I don't think polls are hitting the activity feed @Kirill Gromov. Also, don't think the system is picking up that its a poll either which will break our achievements unfortunately. Any chance you can take a look when you get chance please? Thanks

I haven't upgraded yet as i'm waiting on a few applications to be compatible... are they very visible in terms of the view, especially on mobile?

Ah, I tried that already but didn't work sadly!...then I thought I was doing something wrong with the commas so posted here 😅 Happy to try again now though.... EDIT: The clear cache in ACP did the trick after re-entering as I did previously, thanks @Nathan Explosion!

Oh wow, didn't expect something like @Nathan Explosion, cheers for looking into helping! Just had a look at changing them, how can you override the options? Also, you might be interested to find that the current default Page order doesn't match the numbering already, so I actually don't think Database ID dictates the order unfortunately.

Well, I added it to the Suggestions based on your responses (although I hear @Nathan Explosion's fingers furiously typing quickly 😅), as I'm hoping it can be part of the core IPS, just like Menu Manager is. It makes complete common sense to do so as its one of the main functions people use as they come to an IPS driven website. 🙂 They're all waiting for you though, Nathan...... 😉🍻

The Create feature is a core function and I was today years old when I found out you can re-order the large IPS applications in a certain order on the Applications page to help with this. However, Pages is the most powerful IPS feature here and allows every user to define different things to use to make their websites more valuable and useable. I now understand that the order follows the database ID rather than any particular common sense logic you would probably expect in this section. The create function works in very similar ways to the 'Menu Manager' function. These two go hand-in-hand for your journey around your website and adding content. I'd like to ask for the ability to change the order on how the Create function looks in the core IPS - my suggestion would be that all the ability you need is within the Menu Manager function already, so duplicating this feature for this menu would be the most ideal way to deliver this. A few screenshots on what I'm referring to below: Create menu with in random order for Pages functions Menu Manager core function showing the necessary functions needed for the Create bar Hopefully if people agree, we can get some reactions and comments below. Thanks in advance all 🙂

Ahhh @Nathan Explosion, that gets me somewhere very quickly! Can't believe I didn't see that order before, thank you! In terms of the Pages order though, as they can have multiple pages and items, I can't see that the order correlates with the Pages databases in our AdminCP...so is there any tricks to easily manipulate these items at all?

Wondering if someone can help me understand how to change the order of this core feature. The '+Create' function is always in a strange order depending on what people have active on their website. I need the ability to change the order so it follows common sense in what people want to do most of first, as well as potentially change some wording if required to make more sense. I think wording with some I know I can change within the Pages database when you create them as you can give them a name, but if there are other ways please shout up. Main issue really is the order of things....it does feel like this seems to be a core function most of us have that would be better suited alongside the 'Menu Manager' but obviously I know thats more of a suggestion to add.

Thanks for the quick response @aXenDev, I'll ask in the Help & Support area. Cheers! 🙂

Oh man, that would be amazing if you could! Main reason is i've used Polls Wall for a long time and reviewing our Applications as part of the latest software update, I don't believe it will be kept updated any longer and I would rather invest in yours as yours does far more than that one in the way you can create polls - in some ways you've answered an IPS question they asked the community a while back on how to improve the polls function! I'll explain to our members that the existing will show on the page at some point in the future when you have the next update out (if possible) and we can hopefully start using your way of doing the polls now! Last question for now....if this ever had to be removed/lose this app, will the polls stay on the website as effectively forum posts with polls? I assume so as you must be using the Poll settings in the IPS core?

Hi @aXenDev, still loving this theme, not felt the need for change for a long time now! Wondering if you can help me understand if this feature below can be added to the theme perhaps? The '+Create' function is always in a strange order depending on what people have active on their website. I need the ability to change the order so it follows common sense in what people want to do, as well as potentially change some wording if required to make more sense. Is this something that can be included within the theme edit options at all? Thanks in advance!

Morning @Kirill Gromov, looks like I bought it thinking this was a page that brings in all polls....but it doesn't show any existing polls on this page? Are these polls that IPS recognise? As in a forum post with a poll? It will break my structure if its seen as anything else unfortunately.

Thanks for that @LemonGrenade - glad there is something more up to date if people are desperate to spend more to get the data working now. However, I think what @drawncodes is looking for is for this to be a core function rather than an additional plug-in we've paid for separately before, I know I certainly am 🙂 From an aesthetic point of view too, seeing the profile avatars rather than just the profile name, suits the way many websites have evolved. A bit like this: People connect visually more so of late and they sometimes look out for their favourite user by their profile avatar.

Super! Looks like I'll move to this shortly then from the Polls Walls I was using! Just waiting for other applications to be compatible before upgrading to 4.7.3 and then I'll purchase this app too so it can go live with the new events look. Thanks Kirill!

Whilst I like this idea, if IPS take it forward I would hope it would take into account how people RSVP. Currently I don't use recurring events because RSVP is connected through the whole series whereas most event functions elsewhere allow the user to RSVP to individual occurences which is far more common sense e.g. if you can only make 3 out of the 5 event occurences. If recurring events do get looked at in general, the RSS feed would also need to be updated as once someone makes an indefinite recurring event (even if by mistake), then the feed will show forever that recurrence on whatever device you have. Feels like a general review of recurring events would help to include the OP suggestion and things I have mentioned if others agree?

Apologies if I wasn't being clear. What I mean is when this is installed, will I be able to link to a 'Page' to see all the Polls and nothing else? Thats what the Polls Wall does right now as I have a hyperlink directed people to the 'Polls' page so it looks separate from the Forum pages, even though I know they are just technically forum posts. Hope this makes more sense? Thanks in advance.

I came to raise a suggestion on this one as I'm trying to clean up my applications based on the compatibility indicator and just read this! This one is a dead certain core upgrade in my opinion, that members and users look out for. They love knowing who has been around over the last day, and it also helps websites feel more engaged because not everyone will make a post or reply - engagement functionality should always include the 95% of our total members that are lurkers and this would be the only way they feel 'included'. I'd go as far to say from a website perspective it is far more beneficial than who 'is' online which is a current core feature. That feels more akin to different platforms with Instant Messaging services. Hope this can be considered soon!

@Kirill Gromov, is this a page that you activate via the plugin?

The new update looks like it will definitely add something like this @Felix Nunn, however until I can get to use it fully, our primary purpose of events will always be online places, so I will want that as the primary feature and physical ones a second thought - is that a toggle @Andy Millne? Until then, you can create pre-defined Venues in the AdminCP - Community > Calendar > Venues. These don't need physical addresses, just a country to be populated (which you don't see on the front end anyway). Thats how i've done it so people can just select what online thing they use - its important to me as ours is a gaming family so needs to be specific to what platform they use rather than what system they use to communicate like Zoom, Teams, etc.

Just adding support to the feature request rather than having a separate plugin for this one. Specifically a default for the Homepage in my view is the absolute must have core setting. Many of us now have used 'Pages' to create Homepages following useful guides from Invision so it seems to make common sense to have a toggle somewhere to set a default on the Homepage at the very least. That would also support reducing the amount of plugins and applications we have 🙂

I assumed that but as you can appreciate, my thought process is it doesn't feel like this will help get this into core. If it receives likes or comments does this help? Just don't also want to clog up Feature Suggestions when this seems a common sense and small bit of code to add, as Adriano has created very quickly (and for free!) 🙂 Happy to follow what you think is best, Marc.

Thanks Kirill, this could easily become a 'core' app for many people to use across their websites - for each one I use as a core feature, I would love to go live with Ideas with some Achievements to ensure the whole application gets used effectively. Keep us informed if you can find a way! Thank You! 🙂

Thanks Kirill! Can you just confirm how the system sees these polls please? The reason I ask is that for polls I have set up numerous badges and Achievements for them so I would hope/assume that the system identifies these polls as a poll in the database so it would trigger my Achievements all set up - would you agree?

Will it be considered in a future release to add to core? Makes sense for just the Homepage of everyone's websites I would believe?
