How to arrange poll results

Hi @thedannymu,

Please try the following snippet and see whether it helps:

<?php

add_filter(
	'forminator_polls_chart_datas',
	function( $entries ) {
		$votes = array_column( $entries, 1 );

		array_multisort( $votes, SORT_DESC, $entries );

		return $entries;
	}
);

You can add the snippet as a mu-plugins. Please check this link on how to implement the above code as a mu-plugins:

Hello @thedannymu ,

We haven’t heard from you for some time now, so it looks like you don’t require our further assistance.

Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.

Hello @wpmudevsupport11 @wpmudev-support2

Does this also apply to a bar chart? I tried it out and it didn’t work

Hi @thedannymu

It will work for the bar chart too, I tested it on my lab site and worked well, could you double-check if the mu-plugin is visible in your WordPress > Plugins > Must use tab?

Hello Patrick,

I tried to follow the steps and I don’t know if I did anything wrong. The mu-plugin is visible as you can see here:

Hi @thedannymu

It seems mu-plugin was well implemented, is it possible to share the Poll link and the Poll exported file https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export using pastebin or Google drive?

Hello @wpmudevsupport12,

Please find the exported file here: https://pastebin.com/EdWs8e5w

And here is the link to the page: talkmusicpodcast.com

Hi @thedannymu

Hope you are doing fine.

In order to apply the sorting function from the custom code, you’ll need to change the Results display to “Link on Poll” on the Behavior tab > Results Display section as displayed below:

And the link will show like this:

Then you should have a result like the following when sorting in descending order in the custom code (SORT_DESC):

Or SORT_ASC :

Hope this information help

Hello @wpmudev-support7,

Thank you very much. It’s working now.

Hello @wpmudev-support7,

I have another question. My poll has an option for the users to suggest names as shown: https://imgur.com/mZnvGyT

I can see the tallies for this option in the back end. Is there a way to display the one with highest number of votes on the front end?

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi @thedannymu,

I hope you are doing well today!

Please elaborate your query a little bit more. Do you want to see the highest poll result only and hide the others such as in https://prnt.sc/5FbZ4O630oLv?

Kind regards,
Zafer

Hello @wpmudevsupport15,

What I meant is for the custom choice labelled ‘Enter your choice’, is there a way to replace that label in the poll results with the name with the most votes in that particular field? I can see the results in the WordPress dashboard (https://imgur.com/Vs2kLwi) but I was wondering if there is a way to have that replace the ‘Enter your choice’ label in final poll results.

Hi @thedannymu

Thank you for clarification!

It isn’t possible out of the box. It may be doable with a bit of custom code but we’ll need to consult it with our developers and since it’s a different request than the one discussed here so far, please start a separate topic about it and we’ll help you there.

Kind regards,
Adam
