XF 2.2 Adding an add-on for Polls

[JeffColeForumAddOns]

What is the process for adding and add-on. I'm not a programmer. Do I download the add-on and then upload to my forum through Admin? Wanting to add the [OzzModz] Latest Poll Widget. Not making any headway. I'm logged in here and a xenforo customer, but says that I can't download.

You added your user name a short while ago and it can take up to 10 minutes to process.
It will work now.

Installing add-ons is covered here: https://xenforo.com/docs/xf2/add-ons/#installing-or-upgrading-an-add-on

Thank you. I successfully downloaded and then installed the Poll Widget. I still can't seem to find how to initiate a poll. I read somewhere that when a thread is initiated, there were 3 types (Poll being one of them). When I initiate a thread, there is no option to initiate a poll. Sorry. Been at this for 2 hours trying to figure out.

Do you have polls enabled in ACP for the nodes you want to allow polls in?

 

[JeffColeForumAddOns]

Probably not. And thank you for trying to help. I'm a hand surgeon....but not a programmer. I'm learned a lot in the back end of xenforo, but there's a lot there. Do you mind pointing me to the steps?

Go to /admin.php?nodes/ .

Click on the forum you want to allow polls in.

Select the checkbox.

OK. Found it and got it done. Thank you.

Last question. Can an Admin or Moderator pin a thread to the top or manually move the order of threads?

 

[Paul B]

Threads can be stuck with the relevant moderator permission - set that in the user group/per user.

There is no function built in which allows the order to be changed.
