-====== SlyVote ====== 
-[[http://digdist.synchro.net/DigDistBBSStuff/DigDistBBSStuff.html|SlyVote]] version 0.34 beta (released on 2018-01-28) is a voting booth door for Synchronet for viewing and voting on polls.  SlyVote is written in JavaScript.  SlyVote makes use of the voting feature added in Synchronet 3.17 and also supports displaying of avatars for the people who post polls (avatars were also added in Synchronet 3.17). 
- 
-===== Getting SlyVote ===== 
-SlyVote can be acquired in one of the following ways:\\ 
-  * Browse to the ''[[dev:CVS]]'' and download SlyVote from the SlyVote directory within ''[[dir:xtrn]]'' ([[http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xtrn/SlyVote|CVS link]] or [[http://cvs-mirror.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xtrn/SlyVote|mirror CVS link]]) 
-  * Download SlyVote from the [[http://digdist.synchro.net/DigDistBBSStuff/DigDistBBSStuff.html|Digital Distortion BBS Doors and Tools page]] 
- 
-===== Minimum Synchronet version and .js scripts ===== 
-SlyVote requires Synchronet 3.17 (for 3.17 beta, a build from August 19, 2017 or newer) and the latest of the following JavaScript scripts (in the ''[[dir:exec]]''/load directory) :\\ 
-  * sbbsdefs.js 
-  * text.js 
-  * frame.js 
-  * scrollbar.js 
-  * DDLightbarMenu.js 
-  * smbdefs.js 
-  * avatar_lib.js 
- 
-SlyVote requires an ANSI terminal, since SlyVote makes use of lightbar menus which do cursor movement, as well as a scrolling frame to display poll messages. 
- 
-===== Installation ===== 
-First, ensure that you have an up-to-date Synchronet system running Synchronet 3.17 or higher, and ensure that your Synchronet JavaScript files (in sbbs/exec/load) are up to date.  Before the official Synchronet 3.17 is/was released, daily 3.17 beta builds can be downloaded from Vertrauen (the home BBS of Synchronet).  See the section below titled "Updating Synchronet". 
- 
-SlyVote is comprised of the following files: 
-  * SlyVote.js: The SlyVote script 
-  * SlyVote.cfg: The SlyVote configuration file 
- 
-SlyVote.cfg is a plain text file, so it can be edited using any text editor. 
- 
-You can copy SlyVote.js and SlyVote.cfg to a directory of your choice. 
- 
-===== Configuration with Synchronet =====

-===== Configuration file ===== 
-SlyVote can be configured to use a single sub-board or multiple sub-boards, allowing the user to choose a sub-board and vote on polls and view poll results in the various sub-boards configured with SlyVote. 
-SlyVote's configuration file has the following options: 
-^ Setting                         ^ Description^ 
-| showAvatars                     | Whether or not to show avatars of the people who post polls in the results. Valid values are true and false. Defaults to true. | 
-| useAllAvailableSubBoards        | Whether or not to use all available sub-boards where voting is enabled. Valid values are true and false.  This defaults to true.  If this is set to true, then any subBoardsCodes values in the configuration file (described below) will be ignored. | 
-| subBoardCodes                   | A comma-separated list of internal sub-board codes specifying which sub-board or sub-boards to use for polls.  A single sub-board code can be specified if you only want to use one sub-board with SlyVote.  Also, subBoardCodes can appear multiple times in SlyVote.cfg, and all specified sub-boards will be used.  If any of the specified sub-board codes don't exist or refer to sub-boards that don't allow voting, then they will not be used. | 
-| startupSubBoardCode             | Optional: An internal sub-board code for a sub-board to automatically start in if there are multiple sub-boards configured.  If this is set, SlyVote will not prompt the user for a sub-board on startup and will start in the sub-board specified by this setting. | 
- 
-===== Additional notes for sysops ===== 
-For sysops, polls can be deleted when viewing results from SlyVote.\\
