jVoteSystem Popular ComponentModulePlugin

The component jVoteSystem allows visitors to participate in surveys on your site. You can distribute as many votes as are available to you, thus you can emphasize on a certain answer. When set in component preferences, users can also create their own answers and help e.g. with the feature development. This program works with AJAX, meaning you don't have to reload the page, and is therefore more user friendly. In addition, administrators can manage the site in the frontend and users can remove their own posts. Also, the IP addresses and cookies are stored, which makes multiple voting difficult without permission. With the additional plugin (included in the package) you can also insert the poll into your posts. Language packs for German and English are included. Since the version 1.01, users can write comments on answers and the administrators can insert polls with a editor button. Ultimately, a very useful survey component with a user friendly, simple design.

I tried several different poll extensions then tried this one, it does evrything and pretty easy to understand the configuration. had it up on my site running in about ten to fifteen minutes. oh and did I mention it is FREE! all the others I tried had limitations unless you pay for the full version. great job!

Sure, there are some minor bugs and disfunctionnalities left, but as a FREE extension it does what it says and it's easy to use. In my case I just had to install it and it worked properly, which doesn't seem to be the case for everyone, but that's life.

I tried free version, but didn't like the way it looks in frontend...Works well, but too complex in backend.

After de-install JVoteSystem my website is corrupted: I get a blank page in front-end and back-end...

Support is zero.

I had the free version of the extension and polls disapeared from backend. Bought the updated version and same problem.
Support is zero!
I think is very disrespectful to people especially when you trust an application to have been programmed properly and use it in a clients website.
I think the developer should remove it from here since he has no interest in solve the issues with the component.

It works as a basic poll.

Some of the extras have real issues and I cannot get any support for it.

The forum is great but responses do not really come quick enough.

If there was an option to pay for fast support or something, this would be better, but for now your at the will of the dev and it seems like he may have other interests at the moment.

Software is only as good as the support.

Easy installation, easy implementation, fairly intuitive, lots of features. I would have liked more documentation, but they get you started and the forum answered all my questions, so I am happy.

Thanks for a great plugin!

Other the past two weeks I have tried literally every single poll listed on this site for Joomla 1.5.

And for Joomla 1.5 this is the best one I have found. The free version is not limited in any way, it simply has a copyright link included - which is perfectly reasonable in my mind.

I tested out the free version and found everything worked very well, the editing of the polls was excellent and made setting up the modules I needed very easy. I have now ordered the pro version so I can launch this on my site and at just 10 euros (£8) it is well worth the money.

The only downsides are that the modules dont seem to have the option to change the look or style. And editing the main templates is also hard, but all are possible with a bit of time.

The only thing I would like to see in the future is the addition of a time mechanic so that users could vote more than once. e.g. they could vote once every 24, 48 or 72 hours for example.

I was looking for a simple Poll component to replace what Joomla no longer comes with. This one has a lot of features I will probably never use, but it's nice to have them just in case. Installing and configuring it was a breeze, and I like the frontend interface. I just put up a test poll on my new site, and it is just what I wanted! Can't comment on support, since I haven't needed any so far.

What a nice change from other modules. This product installs easily and is very intuitive to configure. I was up and running a new poll within minutes. Sweet. Unfortunately and fortunately, I can't comment on the support because I haven't needed any. A great product. It is currently soliciting environmental feedback in the State of Florida.

This is a lovely looking and easy to use extension, that is massively let down by the complete lack of support from the author.

Pro's
Good price
Easy Set Up
Intuitive back end
Good customisation options

Cons
Complete lack of support (many posts on the forum remain unanswered two or three weeks after posting).
Free version contains useless extra code that's sole purpose Is to stop removal of author backlink.

We've started using TWTPoll instead as we can not get this extension to play ball.

Rated as "Average" but could easily be "Excellent!" with better support.
Owner's reply

I'm very sorry for the lack of support in the last few weeks. I'm currently concentrated on another project and it is not easy for me to switch between these projects. I will try to keep up the support as good as possible.
I'm very sorry for the delays, thank you all for understanding!

In reaction on your review I responded to all the posts of the last weeks expect these which explain known problems (the forum search was often not used!).
I hope I can solve your problems in the support forum and it would be great if you remove this "Average" review afterwards. Thanks!

There isn't a lot of extra code to protect the author backlink and I don't agree with you that the code is useless! The component has been developed in our spare time and it is for free, it's just not fair to remove the copyright link.

Kind Regards,
Johannes Meßmer

Fantastic extension for allowing polls and voting. I run a small not-for-profit association and this is just what we needed for our elections of the board!!!

Well I installed this extension based on the previous votes and rating.
After installing it I went on, created a new poll, the editor had lotsa smiles and stuff, big fields for the eye challenged, ok I guess created a new poll ease.
Then:
Title formatting totally inappropriate for my website.
Looked on the extension options how to format the title, nothing. Searched on the web, and found a similar issue on the dev's forums.
Official moderator reply: "
Yes, please install Firebug or equivalent and identify the file/code to change."
resuming all the topic: Go to which ever CSS you want to edit and change the Hexcode there.
Ok so the colors of the answers were almost unreadable since I hava a dark template, the question and title were enormous and the colors were awful. So I'm starting to see here all the trouble JUST to get the title font smaller and in another color, plus the question plus the answers.
I got a nicer solution for this, it's called: delete the extension.

Thanks it was worth the try but I didn't find this anywhere near customizable friendly.
Indeed the extension has it's potential, but it has too many options just for the question editor and none for more (imo) important details.
Also, I'm often more fond to contribute to FREE and CLEAN projects than for projects that despite free include copyrights and that make me lose time (and money) to remove them (yes I saw a how to in the forums).

I had no problems installing this v1.5 plugin and it really fulfill all my needs. Easy to create new polls, and has a lot of options if I want to use them. Sure got my vote!
