How to add extras to Widgets

Hi,

unfortunately there is no out-of-the-box example for using Kentico Polls in MVC widgets.

You'd have to create your own custom widget: docs.kentico.com/.../developing-widgets-in-mvc

You can use the 'Portal Engine' Poll Widget code as an example on how to interact with the Kentico API.

You can find this code in "CMSWebParts\Polls\Poll.ascx.cs"

or look at the online API documentation docs.kentico.com/api12sp/.../polls

Portal Engine is web form and im using MVC is there any other solution i want something like this in MVC 12

How to Create Polls in Kentico 12 The Design Tab and Zone does not show to me

Hi, yes the example in your link and the code in "CMSWebParts\Polls\Poll.ascx.cs" is aimed for Portal engine!

YOU need to create your OWN CUSTOM MVC widget or control.

However you could still use it's code as an example on how to interact with the API!

the Portal Engine widget actually uses the following control: "CMSModules\Polls\Controls\View\PollView.ascx.cs"

I think you are looking for the following API calls:

getting POLL info:

PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(PollCodeName, PollSiteID, PollGroupID);

getting answers

PollAnswerInfoProvider.GetPollAnswers()
    .Columns("AnswerID, AnswerText, AnswerCount, AnswerEnabled,
        AnswerForm, AnswerAlternativeForm, AnswerHideForm")
    .WhereEquals("AnswerPollID", pi.PollID);

setting a vote

    PollAnswerInfoProvider.Vote(answerID)

Also be careful about using polls as we will be removing whole module to next version per article here on devnet. With approach David is suggesting, you can go as well with custom page types of module classes to hold data on polls and answers.
