Handling Surveys in MVC

Matthew Hudock asked on September 24, 2020 14:50

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to how surveys are going to be handled on Kentico 12 SP MVC?

I know the polls application is currently what does it but after reviewing the upcoming changes to phoenix i see that that application is being replaced..

So i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to handle them now and in the future without using the polls application?

Thank you!

Hi Matthew,

Yes, you are right, polls feature is due to be removed and there is no analogue in MVC, and won't be. With MVC approach you will need to develop this as a custom feature, unfortunately.

Dear Matthew,

There are no specific recommendations for building this particular function (at least I'm not aware of any available online). Personally, I would have gone this route:

Create a custom module
Add a custom class to store polls data (depending on what your requirements are)
Add API controller that can record votes in your custom class
Display your custom voting interface on frontend and when the user voted call the API above to cast their vote
