    I am a beginner so I apologize if I’m wasting anyone’s time. I want to add fields so visitors can continuously agree or disagree. A simple swipe right for yes or left for no, as many time and as fast as they can do it. I’m not sure where to start to set this up. Thanks

    I want to add fields

    Add fields to what?

    I want to add it to my new WordPress site under construction. I selected a theme but didn’t know the best way to set up a field to have visitors swipe yes and no over and over again. I want to show a graph of the total votes of everyone voting. I also want to show a graph to each visitor comparing their voting trend to the group.

    I download the plugin Democracy Poll this morning but it doesn’t add the votes, so far it only allows the voter to change the vote. I need to add votes of voters as they vote as many times as they want yes and then no and back again when I show them a video.

    Any response is appreciated, thanks.

    We’re not familiar with your website so we need more context.

    http://www.reformenation.com but it is new, and I’m just trying new themes and starting to understand how to build it.

    Why can’t I see my question in the forum any more?

    Can you help with my field question? Is there a plugin or do I need to learn/create it from scratch? Also can you point me in the right direction if either way.

    Thanks

    Have you cleared your cache? I can see this thread even when I log out of the forum.

    You have an idea of a voting system in your head;
    – What does it look like?
    – What page do you want to append these voting fields to? What’s on that page?
    – Do you want to be able to identify visitors and their votes?
    – After swiping, do you want the user to submit a form or do you want data to be submitted automatically?
    – Where do you want the data to go?
    – Where do you want the graph to be generated?
    – Which theme are you using?

    It is certainly possible to log how many times people swipe left and right, but that’s not going to help you implement this.

    It sounds like you’re going to need to hire someone to do this for you.

    Okay I appreciate your time. Creating and choosing which pages is doable, submitting auto with both general and login visitors is the plan. I wanted to use Google Analytic to display live left an right swipe totals from each of the pages but from what I’ve read only day totals are free.

    There is no money(yet)to hire so I’m trying to learn how to build the site. WordPress seems to be the best way to build. I think I need to find out if there are plugins(or widgets?)that have fields that continuously add up left and right swipes and show totals live.

    I first need to enable continuous swipes, total them, and then display them live for my website idea to work. I’m just counting swipes but I think the actual site will be a possible hit.

    I don’t want you to take up your time so point me any where and I’ll do my homework.

    Thanks again, hopefully I’ll be able to do my share and help the next guys in the future. Lawrence
