pollster

A Rails gem that generates an entire MVC stack for user polling on your app

What it does

pollster adds a generator to your Rails app that creates the MVC stack for polling of your users. It has a pretty chart.

Requirements

pollster requires the super amazing RESTful_Authentication plugin.

  ./script/plugin install git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git

Make sure to follow the instructions on RESTful_Authentication, and add this line to your config/environment.rb file:

config.gem “googlecharts”, :lib => ‘gchart’, :version => “>= 1.3.6”

How to Install

sudo gem install mdarby-pollster

How to Use

./script/generate pollster WhateverYouWantToNameYourPollModel

How to Test

Complete Rspec specs are included automatically. Well, complete aside from view specs as you’ll just change the damned things anyway.
