Introduction

What does it do?

The Easypoll Extension enables you to carry out a poll on your Typo3 Website.As a user friendly feature I included the possiblity to carry it out time-controlled.I also included a archivemode which collects all finished polls.A unvoted and expired question will not be moved to the archive.Also a testmode is included. Please go to the constants section and check the checkbox.After a page reload you can vote for a question as many times you want.Last but not least a support for english and german is given for the front- and backend.

Screenshots

Here you see what the extension does:
