Hi

I am not sure how it works in D5, but I am missing an option where author of a node with a pollfield choose how many allowed values he wants for that poll. Currently, If I understand it, I have to set number of allowd values while I am creating a cck pollfield for content type.

thanks
Igor

Yes, max number of values is predefined in settings CCK field. If values is empty it will not showed on poll. Dynamic change number of values is on my todo list as next feature.

I found some topics about preparing cck multifield in cck3, and so far I can understand it, it could be solution, when it will be done.
(but I am not sure if I really understand it, I notice that with multifield, user can add new fields/values online while he/she is creating a node.)

Multifield in CCK won't solve the problem you described in your first post. As I understand it you need the feature that exists in Poll module, where you get two blank choices, and if you need more there is a button for it so you can add as many as you like.

Hi Mario

yes, what you wriote is exactly what I am looking for.
To have by default e.g. 3 answers, and some kind of button "Add new option/answer"

I worked on that options but I encountered some difficulties. Problem is when there is multiple instance on pollfield on the same node. I try to use built in drupal ahah engine to update forms but I couldn't find way to separately deal each instance of multiple
field. Also it has to be that work fine without javascript. I am on it but it is not easy. Any ideas are welcome.
Also, alpha of D7 is released so I have to go with porting this module to D7. Now I am thinking what to do first.

Please do this first. Most people are not going to be on D7 for a while...

I agree. I will go to D7 at the end of this year, and bigger sites will take more time for the moving to D7. Let's focus for fixing it in D6.
Thanks

Seems like there is some recent interest on this new feature, so I am increasing the priority.
