DevArt Polls adds anonymous voting and multi-question surveys

This need arises when a site wants to collect a choice or a set of responses rather than publish a conventional form. Joomla core does not provide a general-purpose poll or survey manager with anonymous voting, response storage, result charts and CSV export. Articles, custom fields and the core contact form can handle some surrounding content, while a template override can change presentation but cannot supply the voting workflow. Sites needing that functionality usually install an extension. According to the listing, DevArt Polls goes beyond a single poll by adding surveys, an administrator response manager, JSON definition import/export, configurable duplicate checks and optional bot protection. Its comdevartpolls component and moddevartpoll module also separate management from frontend display.

It is aimed at sites running questionnaires, feedback exercises, informal elections or simple audience research, particularly where administrators need to review responses or export them. A brochure site with no interactive research, or a site already using an external survey service, has little reason to add it.

• The directory marks it as a free download under the GPLv2 or later, not a paid extension.
• Kostas Stathopoulos is listed as the developer; the directory shows 21 other extensions from the developer, while this entry has no reviews.
• Before installing, check privacy and retention details for stored responses and hashed visitor data, accessibility of the charts and voting interface, notification and moderation options, and how CAPTCHA services are configured. The listing specifies Joomla 6.x, PHP 8.3+ and MySQL/MariaDB, but does not explain migration, support terms or update policy.
