Poll plugin

Allows you to add a poll to the first post of a topic.

Usage

1. Make your topic title start with "Poll: "
2. Include a list in your post (the first list will be used)

Important note:

Make sure you have the "Poll: " prefix in the title right from the start. Editing the title to include it later is not possible atm.

Closing the poll

Change the start of the topic title from "Poll: " to "Closed Poll: ". This feature uses the locale of the user who started the topic.

Note: closing a topic will also close the poll.

Specifying the list to be used for the poll

If you have multiple lists in your post and the first list is not the one you want to use for the poll, you can identify the list to be used like this:

Intro Text

- Item one
- Item two

Here are your choices:

[poll]
- Option 1
- Option 2
[/poll]
