How-To: Add a Poll to your Topic

:bar_chart: Here’s how it works :bar_chart:

Single (default)

The simplest poll you can make is a single choice poll.

You just need a list surrounded by the [poll] BBCode tag [/poll].

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

This will produce the following poll:

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

0voters

Multiple

If you want to allow multiple choices, you only need to add "type=multiple" to the tag, like so:

[poll type=multiple]
 - Option A
 - Option B
 - Option C
 [/poll]

This will produce the following poll (note the help text)

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

0voters

You may choose up to 3 options.

Multiple (with options)

If you want to limit the number of selected options in a multiple choices poll, you can do so using both "min" and "max" arguments:

 [poll type=multiple min=1 max=2]
 - Option A
 - Option B
 - Option C
 [/poll]

This will produce a multiple choice polls allowing up to 2 different options:

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

0voters

You may choose up to 2 options.

I feel that’ll cover the basics on the many types of polls people will need access to here. If you want to read up on many more types of Polls, you can read up on it here!
