In our previous articles, we walked you through installing AcePolls<\/a> and creating your first poll<\/a> in Joomla 2.5. Your next step will be to display the poll on your website. To do this, you will need to create a module for that poll, and then assign the module to a specific position.<\/p>\n

To create an AcePolls poll module in Joomla 2.5:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into your Joomla dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Get the ID number of the poll you want to show<\/strong>\n

    To do this, In the top menu, hover over Components<\/strong> >> AcePolls<\/strong> and click Polls<\/strong>. Then, take note of the ID<\/strong> number listed next to the poll you want to show on your Joomla 2.5 site (refer to screenshot below)
    \"take_note_of_the_poll_id\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. In the top menu, hover over Extensions<\/strong> and click Module Manager<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. In the top right menu, click New<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. From the Select a Module Type<\/strong> list, click AcePolls
    \"click-acepolls-under-select-a-module-type\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    <\/p><\/strong><\/li>\n

  6. Fill in the details of your Module:
    \n\n\n\n\n\n
    Title<\/th>\nEnter a title for the Module<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Position<\/th>\nSelect a position for the module<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Poll ID<\/th>\nUnder Basic Options, set the Poll ID to the id you took note of in step 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    \"fill-out-poll-module-details\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. Click Save & Close<\/strong>. When you visit your Joomla 2.5 site, you should now see an AcePolls poll in the position you selected!
