I've been trying to figure out how to create a primary link when creating ranking polls and linking the primary link to the actual polls. For some reason when I create the polls it does not link anywhere but to (for example)
http://mydomain.com/?q=poll. While when I create an actual poll, the url would be http://mydomain.com/?q=node/17.

So how can I have a primary link let's call it "polls for this site" linked to the actual polls created. This does not seem to work for me. I know I must be missing something. Also when I create multiple polls the node/changes. How can I have all the polls under one primary link. Thanks! I appreciate any response.

try to avoid bumping your posts before 24 hours.

create a taxonomy to organize the polls, and link the menu item to that taxonomy term

or

create a view (with the views.module) that lists all polls and link the menu item to the view

thanks! i went ahead and created the taxonomy and now trying to create the menu and link, but the path keeps giving me an error. I created the taxonomy as ranking poll, but for my path what should i input there? Sorry for the lame questions, just new to drupal

I can't tell you the path. Only you and your system can tell you what the path should be.

see: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/taxonomy

specific read about how to use taxonomy in menu items.

lastly, if you are using the path alias.module in core or the pathauto.moudule in core and have created a url alias for the path you would use that path.

example:

if it were me, I'd use pathauto.module and alias my taxonomy path to polls
I'd then use polls as my menu item path. however you may choose to do something totally different.

It looks like you aren't using clean urls. I know on sites using clean urls if you go to http://www.yoursite.com/poll that should have a list of all the polls you've made. Just add a link to /poll in your primary links menu.
