[Mod] Vote Block [vote]

Ten minutes of googling got me nothing, so I stitched this nice little mod together. This mod adds a vote block. It can be configured to have 5 options, and one question. After submitting, anyone can vote (including the owner) howbeit only once.

Edit: Options left empty are removed when the form is submitted for voting.

Depends: None.

Hi,
Very interesting mod !

A few few suggestions :
- Calling this mod "Poll" or "Simple Poll", would avoid confusion.
- Unused answers in the poll (blank or left to default) should not appear in the list when voting.
- intllib support (I already did this localy, i might help...)
- Maybe an expiry time.

Thanks.

This mod seems to be broken now :(
I can fill the form but I can't vote, black form is shown.

luacheck utility throws more errors than previous version, complaining about unused variables.
I'll try to give more information later.

Anyway, I made replacement images for the poll and wield image (Licence CC BY).
It needs this code to display properly :

Code: Select all

node_box = {type="fixed",fixed={-0.5,-0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.45}},

You still need to rename this mod

Using the same name breaks the dependency system - no longer does depending on "vote" mean your depending on the API provided by my mod.
It also leads to user confusion, by having two mods that work drastically differently called the same thing. For example, a user may look in depends.txt and then install the wrong mod.
It also leads to potentially confusing conflicts, for example one of our mods overriding the other in load order eg: if one is in the subgame, and the other is in the mod folder.

To change your mod's name, change [vote] to something else such as [voteblock], then replace all instances of vote in your mod to the new name. This includes node names and variable names.

@rubenwardy: We definitely should make it a requirement for mods to have an unique name before they are allowed to be moved to Mod Releases, unless there is a VERY good reason for using a duplicate name.
Ignorant modders refusing to use an unique name should not be rewarded by moving their mods to Mod Releases.
Ten minutes of googling got me nothing
Google is useless for finding Minetest mods. Use this search engine instead:

Ooh, btw, rubenwardy should change his mod name to [votekick], because it is misleading.

What are you talking about? Typing in “vote” yields the correct result:

http://krock-works.16mb.com/MTstuff/mod ... t=0&q=vote

Both rubenwardy's and your mod appear.

Rubenwardy's mod thread title says :
[Mod] Vote (with Kick voting) [0.1] [vote] - an API

What is misleading ?

Kick is an example, the main part of the mod is the vote api
Like how awards provides default awards

wuzzy I meant I was looking for a mod that was a block that you could vote from, and I couldn't find one. Obviously rubenwardys [vote] is not what I was looking for.
