Re: [xwiki-users] Adding survey question and details to page template...

Ajdin, You are absolutely right, especially since there seem to be so few people posting information from a users perspective. So here's what I did. The key to getting it working was an example I found in the snippets section that talked about how to create new documents with Tags. It showed an example of how to check if there was an instance of a certain class already attached to a document and create one if not (I already knew how to do this more or less). The important piece was how to set a property on that object once you have a handle to it. I don't have the code done completely yet but the basic shell is something like: #set($surveyObj = $doc.getObject("CPA_FAQs.SurveyClass")) #set($surveyChoice = $request.getParameter("surveyChoice")) #if(!$surveyObj) ##Create a new survey object and attach it to this document. #set($sObj = $doc.newObject("CPA_FAQs.SurveyClass")) $sObj.set("votetotal", $voteCnt) ## these are just here as an example $sObj.set("voters", $voters) ## as I haven't even created the Survey class yet $doc.save() #end #if($surveyChoice) ## Need to update the objects values here #end ## If the current user has voted don't allow them to vote again Was this information useful to you? <form action="${doc.getURL()}" method="POST" style="display: inline"> <input name="surveyChoice" type="radio" name="Yes" value="Yes"/>Yes <input name="surveyChoice" type="radio" name="No" value="No"/>No &nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> I still need to implement a few things but I know should work for what I need. The main thing I'm trying to determine at this point is if I can't require someone to have an account in order to vote, how do I keep them from voting multiple times? I can't use cookies, and I'm not sure using their IP address will prove of any use. Even if users do have to register in order to vote, I'm not sure there's an API method available that allows me to access their unique user ID as opposed to their user name. If I have to track usernames on each of these objects for all of the people who have ever voted on a particular question it could get out of hand really fast! Any ideas? Thanks! .:.
