How to Create a Poll in Joomla 1.5

Now to find out what are visitor's opinions toward our new site, we will place a poll. To do this, we choose Components -> Polls from the top menu:

We will click on [New] from the top-right menu to create a new poll. We will call the poll: "Your opinion about our site". We will list all the options on the poll in the left menu: "Excellent/Terrific", "Satisfactory", "Dull/Awful".

We click on [Save] from the top right menu to save the new poll. Now the poll has to be made public, in other words, to be published. For this purpose we click on Extensions -> Module Manager from the top menu:

From the top-right menu we choose [New] and find Poll from the options listed, and check it.

Then we click on "Next" from the top-right menu. The following changes are going to be made:

1. Set the title to: "Your opinion about our site"
2. Set "Show title" to "No".
3. We select our poll called ""Your opinion about our site" from the right box, Module Parameters, Poll

Finally, from the top right menu we click on [Save] and we will have a poll on our frontpage.
