Recommendation for a good poll plug-in?

I’ve tried pap-xpoll but the HTML it outputs is pretty wonky and the admin interface leaves something to be desired. Are there any other good ones worth trying? I’ve looked around in Textpattern Resources but so far no dice.

Re: Recommendation for a good poll plug-in?

I think there isn’t any other poll plug-in out there.

Yes, the HTML it outputs is pretty “wonky” (don’t know what means that english word, but it sounds funny).
But I, without knowing PHP, have managed to make it output the code I needed (by modifying the plugin source).

Let me share it:

So, install the original pap-xpoll plug-in, and then copy-paste the above code to replace it on “Admin -> Plugins -> edit”.

Also, you will find it very useful to install rvm_plugin_diff.
It will let you make a diff between the original plug-in code and the one I provided.
So then, hopefully, you will find it very easy to “fine-tune” the HTML to your needs.

Thanks. This gets me close enough for my needs. And I can see where to edit the output now to further customize it.
