I'm working on a choose your own adventure style site (not sure if it's germane to link to my site here, so I won't) where I have a story then a poll node attached to let people vote on the course of action for the next day's story.
I grouped the poll to the story using a nodereference CCK field (plus I'm using the Daily module for navigation). This worked great, appropriate polls load when you navigate to a story, but different users see each page in different ways. Admins sometimes see multiple copies of each poll while registered users see only one and those not logged in might not see the poll at all.
To fix some, but not all, of these problems, I can change the post settings to allow 1 or 2 items on the front page. Putting this setting on 1 shows 1 poll+1 story for admins, only the story for others. Changing it to 2 shows 1 pool and 2 stories for admins, 1 poll+1 story for everyone else. I'd be happy enough with this last option except for the times when I don't want to include a poll with a story. When I don't include a poll, most users see that day's story + the previous story/poll combo.
Any ideas on how to get this done:
1. Have appropriate stories/polls linked.
2. Display only 1 story + 1 poll on the front page (at least to non-admins).
3. Only display 1 story and nothing else on non-poll days.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
