Description
Some examples of using Fox for voting, polling and making choices.
Voting List
This is an example of a voting list, listing the names of people in the column they voted for.
The source markup below will produce a three column list with names, who have posted their vote (name) to the question: "Are you coming to my birthday party?"
Are you coming to my birthday party?
Please type in your name in the box, click the appropriate button and click Enter
(:fox form1:)
(:input text author {$Author} size=20:)
||width=80%
||I am coming: (:input radio foxplace vote1 checked:)||
||I am not coming (:input radio foxplace vote2:)||
||Perhaps (:input radio foxplace vote3:) ||(:input submit post "Enter":) ||
(:foxtemplate "||{$$author} ||(:if author {$$author}:){[foxdelline]}(:if:) ||":)
(:foxend form1:)
(:table width=100%:)
(:cell:)
!!!!People coming
(:foxprepend form1 vote1:)
(:cell:)
!!!!People not coming
(:foxprepend form1 vote2:)
(:cell:)
!!!!People perhaps coming
(:foxprepend form1 vote3:)
(:tableend:)
Note that I am using also a custom conditional, defined like this in config.php:
# add conditional markup: (:if author AUTHORNAME:) $Conditions['author'] = "\$GLOBALS['Author']==\$condparm";
This conditional is used to display a line delete link for the author only.
Multi-choice voting
This form uses check boxes to post the user's name in a table listing several options. The options are defined at the top in page text variables. A line delete button allows the user to delete the entry. A custom conditional is used to check author name against the author field. It is defined like this in config.php:
# add conditional markup: (:if author AUTHORNAME:) $Conditions['author'] = "\$GLOBALS['Author']==\$condparm";
Form wiki code Note some lines are wrapped for easier reading!
