I'll give it some more thought and I'll mention it to the team. Thank you! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-the-poll-add-on-for-rating-posts-how-to-add-the-postid-to-the-poll#post-85648 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 09:41:08 +0000 danpkraus 85648@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes that does help. I think I will probably just create a a simple poll form plugin for my use. I think it will work out a bit better in the end as I also would like to provide poll results to users on the front end. I am working on adding front end control for the company entries on the site so that the owner of the company can update the information for their company. And I was thinking on having several polls for each entry. Say there are 3 polls per entry, after a user takes Poll #1, then poll #2 would show up and so on. Using my own plugin would make it a lot easier in doing this and storing/displaying the results by using my own DB table. Thanks for the information and helping me decide the best approach for this. Do you think this kind of functionality would/could be considered for inclusion in the poll add-on in the future? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-the-poll-add-on-for-rating-posts-how-to-add-the-postid-to-the-poll#post-85095 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 07:22:42 +0000 Steve Henty 85095@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It's a great idea but it would take a bit of customization I'm afraid. You might want to approach it like this...</p> <p>Add the post id to the lead meta on form submission or just use the source_url property of the lead object. Then filter the entries inside GFPolls::gpoll_get_data() and alter the way the data is cached so there's one entry per post_id. Once that's done you'll need to filter GFPolls::gpoll_get_results() to display the right data for the given lead object. </p> <p>I hope that's of some help to you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-the-poll-add-on-for-rating-posts-how-to-add-the-postid-to-the-poll#post-83966 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:20:11 +0000 danpkraus 83966@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi All,<br /> I'd like to add polls to my custom post types. My site is a directory of companies and I would like to add a rating poll (not sure what exactly yet) to each entry. How would I go about adding the post ID to the poll? And then display results (admin and front end) for the poll based on the post ID? I'm sure there are a couple ways to do this and wanted to get some help before starting in on this.</p> <p>Thanks for the help! </p>
