Question

I want to create a poll with my wiki users, and I thought about creating something like the appraisals on twiki plugins web. But I didn't find the code for them.

I copied PluginAppraisalHeader and PluginAppraisalStatistics, but I didn't find ExtensionAppraisalPoll template. Where is it?

The appraisal topics have a %COMMENT{type="ExtensionAppraisalPoll" target="#GerryMander"}%. This is a custom template of the CommentPlugin that defines the input form and the output format (table row.) It is defined in UserCommentsTemplate.

Peter,

I created a UserCommentsTemplate topic on a web and inserted the ExtensionAppraisalPoll definition. After that, I created another topic on the same web with the following code:

%INCLUDE{PluginAppraisalHeader}%
#GerryMander
%INCLUDE{PluginAppraisalStatistics}%

%COMMENT{type="ExtensionAppraisalPoll" target="#GerryMander"}%

After saving this topic, the poll appeared. I selected my votes and clicked "submit", but I got an error message saying

"No such template def TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:ExtensionAppraisalPoll}"

You probably need to create the UserCommentsTemplate topic in the TWiki web.

In your UserCommentsTemplate, define the %TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:ExtensionAppraisalPoll}% and %TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:ExtensionAppraisalPoll}%

OK, I forgot

%TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:ExtensionAppraisalPoll}%
