Plugin Proposal

This Wiki Plugin provides a widget for users to vote on a proposal and view the current decision (added in version 3.0).

• It makes it quick to vote and tally votes
• The proposal and votes are kept in the wiki page so it's still possible to improve the original proposal and to change the votes (there is wiki page version history so everyone can see the evolution).
• Note that a user must have edit rights to the page where the proposal is placed in order to be able to see the vote buttons and be able to click on them to vote.

Usage

To display in a wiki page, use the syntax:

{PROPOSAL(caption="Here is the proposal")}
+1 Sam
-1 john
+1 Suzy
+1 Cuong
0 Sam
+1 Helen
+1 Majid
+1 Mohammed
0 Francois
+1 Youssou
+1 Nico

0 stefbrodu{PROPOSAL}

Note

Do not use the plugin notation shortcut - {PROPOSAL(caption="xx") /}{PROPOSAL} - as it will not work.

Example

As users vote by clicking the accept, reject or undecided button, the user's user name and vote is automatically placed in the code. Once several people have voted, the code would look something like this:

{PROPOSAL(caption="That each Tiki contributor should get free pizza on their birthday")}
+1 Sam
-1 john
+1 Suzy
+1 Cuong
0 Sam
+1 Helen
+1 Majid
+1 Mohammed
0 Francois
+1 Youssou
+1 Nico
{PROPOSAL}

Would produce:

Comment

You can see in the code above that user Sam voted twice: the first time he accepted the proposal (+1 Sam), and then he changed his vote to undecided (0 Sam). In the display result immediately above, only the last choice (undecided) shows.
