Polls - voting plugin for Azuriom

This plugin adds a "Polls" section to your website:

• registered users can see the list of polls and vote (single or multiple choice, configurable when creating a poll);
• results are displayed as progress bars with percentages and vote counts;
• administrators can create polls, add/edit/remove options, open and close polls, and delete polls entirely.

Installation

1. Copy the polls folder into the plugins/ directory of your Azuriom website (the final path should be plugins/polls/plugin.json, plugins/polls/src/..., etc.).
2. Go to the Azuriom admin panel -> "Plugins" and enable the Polls plugin. On activation, Azuriom will automatically run the migrations and create the tables:
   • polls_polls
   • polls_poll_options
   • polls_poll_votes
3. If the migrations did not run automatically, run on your server:

   php artisan migrate
   

Usage

For administrators

• A new section appears in the admin panel: Polls (/admin/polls).
• "Create a poll" lets you set a title, description, and at least 2 options, and optionally enable "Allow multiple choices".
• From the polls list you can:
  • open/close a poll (lock button) - once closed, users only see the results and can no longer vote;
  • edit a poll - change the title, description, option labels, add new options, or remove old ones (at least 2 options must remain);
  • delete a poll entirely (along with all its votes).

For users

• A "Polls" link is automatically added to the user navigation menu.
• The /polls page shows the list of all polls with their status (Open/Closed).
• On a poll page (/polls/{id}):
  • if the poll is open and the user hasn't voted yet, a voting form is shown;
  • after voting (or if the poll is closed), the results are shown as progress bars.
• Each user can vote only once per poll (a second attempt returns an error).

Permissions

The plugin registers a polls.admin permission. Grant it to the moderator/administrator role so it gets access to the "Polls" section in the admin panel.
