Poll embedded in page

Friday 13 April 2007 1:07:37 am

I have created a Poll class and have it working on it's own page, but ideally I need to have the poll embedded in the homepage. Is there a way of doing this? I've spent a while looking into this but with no success. I considered an iframe, which could work except the poll page is still using homepage template (ie menus, logos etc) and I can't work out how to stop it using this template. I have been looking at the override poll tpl files but nothing seems to be working so far! Is there a simple way to embed a poll? I notice there is a poll_embed.tpl file but I'm finding little in the way of documentation on using polls within ezpublish.

So how do I use the code in that tpl? I'm very new to EZpublish I should point out! I have worked out how to use override templates for full pages, but I still don't understand how to embed the content of another object/form/article/poll/whatever into another page. Do I need to copy that tpl file into my override homepage template file?

Thanks, yes I just realised that I was trying to add the embed code to a Text Line section instead of XML Block, which is why it kept coming out as text link instead.

{* First fetch the node you want *}
{def $my_node = fetch('content', 'node', hash('node_id',  NODE_ID_NUMBER_HERE))}
{content_view_gui content_object=$my_node.object view='embed'}

or

{* Fetch the object directly *}
{def $my_object = fetch('content', 'object', hash('object_id',  OBJECT_ID_NUMBER_HERE))}
{content_view_gui content_object=$my_object view='embed'}

Hope this helps :)
