As requested in [request] poll script:



Live Poll will create a poll for your personal message which can have as many options as you want. Your contacts can vote for the option they want by saying "!vote <option number>".

Features:

- Real-time poll in personal message
- Customizable poll question
- Customizable poll options
- Contacts can vote with messages

Usage:

- /poll <on|off>: Enable or disable the poll; if on|off is unspecified, the poll is toggled
- /pollQuestion <question>: Define the poll question
- /pollOption <option number> <option>: Define a poll option
- /pollClear <option number>: Clear the settings of the poll; if option number is specified, the option is removed
- /pollVote <option number>: Vote for a poll option
- /pollInfo: Send the poll information
- !vote <option number>: Vote for a poll option (for contacts)
- Commands are case-insensitive

Example:

code:

---

/pollQuestion What is your favourite colour?
/pollOption 1 Red
/pollOption 2 Green
/pollOption 3 Blue
/pollOption 4 Yellow
/poll on
/pollVote 3

---

The resulting personal message would read "What is your favourite colour? | 1: Red (0 votes), 2: Green (0 votes), 3: Blue (1 votes), 4: Yellow (0 votes) | Say "!vote <option number>" to vote!".

---

Comments, feedback and suggestions welcome. No GUI at the moment.

i think you spelt that wrong

Meh, im bored. If you want, i can make an about window for you? yes?

A suggestion, how about a command the sends the poll to the contact instead of writing it out all the time.
maybe a /pollsend or /pollinfo

This is possible, but there may be problems if you have numbers for your options (like "How old are you? | 1: 15, 2: 16, 3: 17..."). What should take priority? Option number or option word?

Alright, I'll put that in the next release.

PS. Fixed the typo.

Nice but this ain't reliable . Any contact should not be able to vote more than once . Also the script shouldn't remove your current PSM unless the poll is ON on Messenger Initialize.

Yeah, I was aware of that problem, but I wasn't exactly sure how to keep track of who had voted and who hadn't. Perhaps the registry/user IDs?

Can you explain that with more detail? Not sure what the problem is... The current PSM seems to work fine for me.

you could use a registry and the contacts email. i think tat would be the best option

when we install the script it takes our current PSM away and leave a blank one ( i know i had one because i had just changed it )

i hope this stuff helps
