One of the things I want to do is to use Forms to create Polls. That is quite easy. But analyzing the poll data is not, apparently, trivial.
Tim Geyssens did a great post about 7 years ago in which he set out the code for the older Contour package using a much older version of Umbraco (pre Razor): http://www.nibble.be/?p=81
The link above also shows, purportedly, what methods will work when querying forms, although I don't know how to access them properly.
What I want to do is to be able to analyze the poll data after a user submits their poll answers (just like Tim's post does above for the older Umbraco).
However, I can't get any of this to work for a simple test poll I have created.
I am using Umbraco 7.5.6 and Umbraco forms 4.4.2.
Any help, even a push in the right direction, would be great. I have spent hours trying to nail this down and just can't seem to find what I need.
Thank you for your response. I have actually seen the post you refer to. However, that post seems to simply explain how to create a form and then send it to a different workflow. What I am looking for is assistance creating the Razor code to analyze the poll results.
In other words, I have created the poll itself and it works well. I am just having a hard time creating the Razor code required to properly analyze and display the results.
As a related question, how would we know where to go to get complete information as to what methods and properties are available via the Forms plugin? There are only about 6 methods referenced in the Documentation section and they are primarily only for retrieving the records themselves. I am looking for information on how to manipulate those records further.
Umbraco Forms - Polls
Hello,
I purchased Umbraco Forms and am pleased with it.
One of the things I want to do is to use Forms to create Polls. That is quite easy. But analyzing the poll data is not, apparently, trivial.
Tim Geyssens did a great post about 7 years ago in which he set out the code for the older Contour package using a much older version of Umbraco (pre Razor): http://www.nibble.be/?p=81
Tim also contributed a razor version here: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/38176-Creating-a-poll-using-Razor
There is also some documentation in our.umbraco which details how to query the standard comments form that comes with Forms, but that is pre Umbraco 6.0.0: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/products/umbracoforms/developer/working-with-data/

Hi Robert and welcome to Our :-)
Try to see this thread https://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/questions-about-runway-and-modules/57325-Survey-or-poll-module-available-in-umbraco and especially Dennis Adolfi´s comment / animation.
Hope this helps,
