Access to create polls and poll questions

[Shoup]

I don't see a group permission setting explicity for polls. I'm trying to give access to them for a new group I created. Is poll access limited to just the editor and admin groups?

Also, is there a way to put in a poll description field? Putting the question as the title leads to some long names in the dropdown menu. It would work better to have main question field in addition to the title and question fields.

Lastly, and I know this would require more development, but a multiquesiton polling system that could run multiple polls would be really cool. For example running two unrelated polls, each one with two or more questions in it.

Hi!

Yes, as it stands the plugin checks if the userlevel is CHIEF or higher to show the item. There currently is no interface to show specific event plugins for specific usergroups only, because at the time where most plugins where created, the usermanagement did not yet include authorgroups.

It can be added by each plugin to check for usergroups and to insert custom permissions to restrict access; but no developer has yet been found for this task.

Also, is there a way to put in a poll description field? Putting the question as the title leads to some long names in the dropdown menu. It would work better to have main question field in addition to the title and question fields.

Yes, a new database field could be added there, and be displayed within the plugin's output.

Definitely, this would be cool! However in that case you might even want to just use an external poll system and embed it in your sidebar?
