After Ralf Hettinger sent me some change for jk_poll in May I now finally managed to integrate the most oft them. The changes are described in the manual:

- Changes submitted from Ralf Hettinger: 
   - general code cleanup 
   - handle enableFields (start- und endtime, hidden, deleted) using cObj->enablefields) 
   - change use of time() to SIM_EXEC_TIME (makes simulating of times in frontend possible) 
   - change sorting in backend to crdate (as displayed in the frontend) 
   - labels for "no votes" and "one vote" 
   - new options for TypoScript (explained in ext_typoscript_setup.txt and manual): 
	  plugin.tx_jkpoll_pi1.submitbutton_params 
	  plugin.tx_jkpoll_pi1.submit_js_fallback 
	  plugin.tx_jkpoll_pi1.path_to_images 
	  plugin.tx_jkpoll_pi1.show_zero_percent 
   - action hrefs contain all GET parameters 
   - change from GET to POST parameters 
- added first experimental support of Google Chart API to display votes

In addition I included a first experimental support for Google Chart. Perhaps I will do some more work in this area. But this could take a while ;-).

After 6 months finally there is a new version of jk_poll. But what is jk_poll exactly? jk_poll is a extension for TYPO3 which helps you to do polls on your website. Here you can find a list of the most important features. The new version adds support for multilanguage sites and the extension sr_freecap. So now it is possible to translate the polls in another language and count the votes for all languages together or for every single language separately. For adding this feature different changes to the database structure were necessary. Because of this the extension doesn't work properly after the update by default. You have to use the entry "UPDATE" of the dropdown-box in the top right corner in the extension manager. This updates the polls and everything should work as before. But be sure to do this update if you already have an old version installed.

At the moment the new version of jk_poll is not uploaded to the TYPO3 repository. I'd like to publish it her first and do some testing. There were some substantial changes in the code and because of that I cannot guarantee the functionality without restrictions. But during the next weeks the extension will also be uploaded to the Repository.

Here you can find some demos of the extension. Comments and feature requests can be posted on this site. The updated documentation is available as PDF and OpenOffice.
