How to put a poll on the first page

[Kulrak]

I want to put a poll on my main page. I have TP 0.98 and I want to know if I need another module or do I link a forum poll to the front page?

Anyway I am totally clue-less I hope those who are more familiar with it can help me out. Thanks.

You can add a poll by using the blocks. Take a look at them and view all the options in blocks so you can get to know what your options are.

You can also use a third party script. For more info, search the block code snippets board and you'll find some stuff in there.

Thanks very much I will look over it later. Sorta late now.

Edit. Whats the actual block called that I need to add. I am looking at block manager now and I am not sure which one it is.

Keep looking. Try things out. Experiment. I'm not going to give you "all" the easy answers.

Easy solution is a front page block (PHP) calling the ssi function for polls...

[Kulrak]

That function only shows the options to vote. Then when you use it to vote the poll is no longer there.

Then you need to use Thurnoks poll hack.
