Hooks used ParserFirstCallInit

The PollDaddy extension allows to insert polldaddy.com polls on a page. It was originally based off of Sylvain Machefert's GoogleVideo and YouTube video extensions, but has been re-written to use parameters within the tag to make it more elegant and secure.

Usage

Put the following code into the page where you want to display a poll, replacing "12345" with the correct poll ID number:

<polldaddy pollid="12345"/>

Installation

• Copy the source code and place the file(s) in a directory called PollDaddy in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/PollDaddy/PollDaddy.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
