I've seen a few posts about the subject, but none with a definite answer or solution.

I am attempting to create a View to show only "Polls". The current poll module only allows me to select "active" as a display field. Obviously I would like the Node itself as the display field.

Please post only if you have an answer. Please do not post "I'm having the same issue".

Thanks

People do that so it shows up in their tracker so they can follow the discussion. Don't discourage.

I'd likely try panels.module

They could just as easily bookmark it and check back. I'm all about people finding answers (obviously I'm one of them :) ) . . But I've seen many threads go on and on about how everyone has the problem. The result ends up being people looking through pages of text hoping for an answer that isn't there.

uh, erm, ok.

For those users who are put off by the claim of the above user. There is no policy on drupal.org that states you can't comment on a thread to subscribe to it in the case that you want it in your tracker rather than your browser favorites. Therefore, do what is best for you where this is concerned.

(When others note that they are having similar issue, it demonstrates that the problem is not unique to your own situation. And, therefore, might more readily get the attention of the module developer/maintainer. Moreover, ideally, if others post they are having the same issue, perhaps some of them will post better scenario details for the developer.)

Now that I have been using Drupal for a while, it makes a lot of sense for people to reply about the same issues (i do it myself).
Apologies.

what I did was to define an auxiliary content type (say MyPoll). I added a Node reference CCK field to standard Poll and a CCK Node Referrers (backreference) field to MyPoll. You can then easily create one (or even more!) polls as "children" of your MyPoll node, and attach their teaser content (the voting widget) to the MyPoll node. As MyPoll is a "standard" content type, you can do whatever you want with it in views... including the display of the referred poll widgets. It's not straightforward... I was inspired by http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach. Look at it this way: "galleries" are "mypolls", and "images" are "polls".
