MEMEdex Poll Plugin for Wordpress 2.0+

The MEMEdex Wordpress plugin allows simple embedding of polls into your Wordpress posts. Polls can be embedded into posts with a simple tag (works in the WYSIWYG editor).

Installation

1. Download memedex_wordpress.zip and uncompress.
2. Copy memedex.php and memedex.class.php to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
3. Activate the plugin from your "Plugins" menu in wordpress

Use

Simply type in a [memedex:] tag where you want to put a poll. The [memedex:] tag takes a couple parameters, and is of the following form:

[memedex: p1#p2#p3#p4]

Each paramter is separated by #. Tags can have 0, 2, 3 or 4 parameters.

• P1: The request type. Either username, pollid, category, keyword, or random
• P2: The request value. If you selected username, for example, this is where you enter the username you want a poll from. If you entered pollid for P1, this is where you enter the poll id.
• P3: width (uncommon, but use if you need to customize the size of the flash object)
• P3: height (uncommon, but use if you need to customize the size of the flash object)

Examples

To embed a random poll from user stromdotcom:

[memedex: username#stromdotcom]

To embed the poll with id 476777:

[memedex: pollid#476777]

To embed a random poll:

[memedex:]

Workflow

The typical workflow for embedding polls is:

1. Create poll at MEMEdex
2. Grab poll id
3. Create Wordpress post.
4. Include [memedex:] tag in your post

For sites that heavily focus on polling, we anticipate that the username option will be used in the sidebar version. You can include a username selected poll in the sidebar using the template tag as follows:

<?php get_memedex_embed_poll("username","stromdotcom"); ?>

(replace stromdotcom with your MEMEdex username)
