Re: [xwiki-users] organize vote with XWiki

2009-02-22 Thread Niels Mayer
The Polls app does support adding new topics/votes/etc easily, and is a nice
merging of a poll into a wiki-document.

The only annoying thing is that it requires edit privs in the Polls space
where the code exists, or at least in the space holding the the polls. This
is because the Polls space is the default location for the poll documents to
be created.

It would be nice if it was an option to hide the voting record (it displays
who voted for what). It also allows people to change their vote up till the
end of the polling period, which should be an option as well.

If you wanted to poll people without having them registerlogin (or expose
their vote), you'd need to make the  Polls space publicly writable by
using Rights to edit XWikiPreferences specifically for the Polls space,
selecting users option, and selecting edit for Unregistered Users.

A different Space could be used to hold the polls, (which is good, you
wouldn't want unregistered users editing the Polls templates/code/etc),
but I don't believe that space is selected by default in the Polls.WebHome
option-menu for selecting the location for the new poll to reside. This will
need to be documented or edited to hard-code a specific publicly-alterable
space, although this is an admin or poll-taker's issue. If unregistered
users can edit a particular space containing Polls in order to enter a vote,
wouldn't they also be able to edit the polls themselves?

What's the right way of resolving this issue for XWiki apps?

I guess making each public polll-document world editable, rather than
making the entire space world-editable makes the most sense. However, in
that case, a nonregistered user could still manually enter the bin/edit
rather than bin/view URL and edit the poll data. If anybody has suggestions
on the correct way to handle security issues and have a working Polls app,
I'm interested.

The polls app contains the following docs, fyi: Polls.WebHome
Polls.CreatePoll Polls.PollEditSheet Polls.PollMetaClass
Polls.PollOptionClass Polls.PollSheet Polls.PollTemplate Polls.PollViewSheet
Polls.PollVoteClass .

 Maybe the poll application would help:

 I don't know if it supports adding new topics on the fly but it
 wouldn't be hard to improve it to do so I think.

 Check at the end of that page there's a link to polldaddy too.

The Poll application do what we need, but does exist a way for giving user
the right to vote but not to edit the poll and, mainly, change other user
votes?

When I remove the edit right, users can’t vote any more.

 

Thanks,

Philippe

[xwiki-users] organize vote with XWiki
