Install this theme component

This simple theme component allows some control over the default poll behaviour. It was inspired by this Topic:

Making polls ‘Show who voted’ by default

In my community folks always want to see who voted on a poll, but… they always seem to forget to select the check-mark Show who voted. Is there any way to set this as a default?

Other settings could easily be added if needed.

THANK YOU! I’ve already got this installed on my forum and I’m looking forward to fewer “Oops” moments for the folks who participate on our forum.

This looks to be broken at the mo:

Overriding poll default so "public=true"

I don’t think it’s working on my test site now either. It may need updating to account for some recent changes? I’ll split this off into a dev topic

I’ll take a look when I get the chance, but PRs are always welcome!

@nathank

I was looking at this code:

nathan-nz/discourse-poll-defaults/blob/main/common/header.html

I think you can do the following:

api.modifyClass("component:modal/poll-ui-builder", {
  pluginId: 'poll-defaults',
  didInsertElement() {
    this._super(...arguments); // super.didInsertElement(...arguments); doesn't work (?)

    if (settings.Public) {this.set('publicPoll', true)}
    if (settings.Advanced) {this.set('showAdvanced', true)}
  }, 
});

It works.

However, I’m perplexed with didInsertElement.
poll-ui-builder is now a glimmer component. didInsertElement is not supposed to exist based on the ember upgrading guide.
I can see in core some usage. Maybe some specificity in Discourse?
Also, I’m not sure why super.didInsertElement doesn’t exist in this above code context.

This is now part of core:

UX: Create polls with public=true by default

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

Nice!! This makes the TC nicely obsolete. I consider this mission accomplished

So … how do we change the default to private ?

[Moin]

There is a site setting

@david

To change the default back to private, forum administrators can toggle the ‘poll default public’ site setting.

Thanks !
