Hi Mike:

I have inherited a Mambo site.  I don't natively think the way Mambo requires 
one to, but I've gotten fairly good at getting the content I want into the 
right places on-screen.

My clients want me to add a poll to the site, but they want only registered 
users to be able to vote and they want each user to be able to vote only once.

 From what I can tell, the polling functionality that came with whatever 
template they already have installed cannot be controlled in this way.

A set of pages that live behind the log-in already exists.  But I haven't been 
able to figure out how to prevent them from coming up more than once per user.  

SO, I have been looking to download something.  BUT, it looks like most of the 
voting/polling components require Joomla 2.0, and I am stuck at Mambo.  

Which means, I'm thinking, that I get to write a template from scratch?  I've 
spent about an hour reading creating template tutorials and I think it will be 
easier for me to write the code in straight PHP.  

OR, do you know of a Mambo site that might have something like this:

  (Not that I understand what SMF means...)?

Thanks in advance,

-- Emily
