Poll Plugin

Overview

The poll plugin enables you to create and manage poll documents within Bloomreach Content. It provides both authoring capabilities in the CMS and poll functionality on the website through an HST component and a reusable provider (delegate) class.

Features

• Retrieve poll documents from configurable repository locations.
• Expose poll data as beans for use in the view layer.
• Record votes for polls, storing results in the /polldata repository path outside the document tree.
• Use cookies to prevent users from voting multiple times.
