Poll feature with articles

What chance is there that the option to use Vote Polls with the Article system will be added.

The vote poll settings are actually there in the free core used with article system, just that it lacks the option to add polls with articles. Seeing as the setting for vote polls is already there, but kind of there as an obsolete feature if you used the core for free. That is why I asked, I would not have brought it up if no vote settings was present until you install a paid app.

I understand they ain't going to give everything away for free use, but most free CMS systems out there actually do have the ability to use vote polls and is a pretty important part of an article system if you want your "article system" to be taken seriously for using against others out there.

Okay, but I don't really get that one though? Vote Polls are used with the forum, isn't the forum multilingual.

Yeah, I just translated what he said.

At least I can see it is something they wanted do but can't right now because what they say.

In fact, a major change is needed to allow full implementation for CMS pages and articles. Surveys are implemented in monolingual, allowing only the creation of questions and answers in a single language, whereas pages and articles are multilingual.

To fully support articles and pages, there are several changes to capture, processing, storage and output - in short, we need to intervene in all aspects of surveys. In particular, storage would potentially result in non-backward compatible changes that could lead to errors in third party plugins and apps. Unfortunately, the system of multilingual input (such as the ACP options) is technically based on language variables and is therefore unfortunately not available as a poll tool - the exact reason is the way in which language variables are managed and maintained internally.

The fact is that apart from provisional Frickel solutions, we are currently unable to offer a robust implementation of surveys for (potentially) multilingual content. There are appropriate plans to revise the survey system and in particular the operation, but this requires significantly more time to fully and adequately take into account all developing or existing use cases in the development.

In summary: Yes, we also want to provide surveys for the CMS site and article, but there are technical hurdles for implementation that can only be resolved in the context of a future version and in a reasonably high quality level.
