Hi, could you explain what this can do in a bit more detail for people who don't understand much :o) What it will allow us to do? What it might be used for in a real world example?

As an example. Would this allow me to create multiple questions to poll on, and then put them into a Book page, so anyone viewing the book page could respond to the poll(s), and see what the results are for the poll?

The poll would only be available on a specific book page (node).
I can have multiple questions (polls/fields) ie: How funny was it? Would you suggest it? What is your overall rating?

TIA
Shari

You can add multiple pollfields to a node, but each is completely independent, which means each has its own 'Vote' button. That's not necessarily what you want, but for now there is no easy way to do it any differently. This isn't necessarily a particularly elegant solution for placing multiple questions on a single node, it's more for traditional uses of polls (one to a node). The biggest benefits of pollfield over the traditional poll module are:

1) You can add a poll to any content type, which means you can also have other CCK fields in your node (an illustration, additional text, or whatever).

2) All the pollfield results are Views-enabled, so you can create various views of the results instead of being limited to the standard results table.

I'm assuming this is resolved.
