Un-voted polls can't be edited (and other UX issues)
-
We’re using Polldaddy to power polls on our site, and have noticed problems editing and deleting polls.
I’m fairly certain that these are purely UI/UX issues, with the right options just not being exposed at the right times.
The primary issue is that there’s no way to edit polls that have not received any responses. When hovering over un-voted polls, you’re only given the options to Embed & Link or Preview the poll: https://i.imgur.com/iMRlIAM.png
Neither of the Embed & Link or Preview options offer a path to editing or deleting.
Polls with votes, however, also get the Results option, which does include the ability to edit a poll.
I was able to access the poll editing page directly by grabbing the poll ID from the list table page’s source and dropping it into the edit poll URL (
wp-admin/admin.php?page=polls&action=edit-poll&poll=[poll_id_here]
), which is why I believe this is really just a UI/UX issue.The other issue is that there’s no way to delete a poll… like, at all. The list table’s Actions dropdown includes a “Delete” option (alongside open/close options) but doesn’t actually include checkboxes so you can select polls to manipulate!
My current plan is to implement a really messy jQuery hack to grab poll IDs and tack “Edit Poll” URLs onto the row hover actions, but I don’t have an idea in place for enabling poll deletion.
Any ideas?
