What This Plugin Adds

Live Poll Widget is an Available, Schema-owning Capell package in the Capell Foundation product group. It ships as capell-app/widget-live-poll and extends these surfaces: admin, frontend, console.

Live Poll adds persisted polls, options, votes, public voting endpoints, and voter-retention cleanup to a Layout Builder widget. Result visibility and repeat-vote behavior are enforced by the poll domain Actions.

Editors configure locale-specific polls in Layout Builder, and visitors can vote and see results only when the configured visibility policy permits it.

Evidence: src/Actions/CastPollVoteAction.php, src/Actions/SyncPublishedPollAction.php, src/Actions/PruneClosedPollVotersAction.php, tests/Feature/LivePollTest.php, src/Providers/WidgetLivePollServiceProvider.php, src/Actions/ResolveLivePollPayloadsAction.php, resources/views/widget.blade.php.

Status details:

• Status: Available
• Tier: free
• Bundle: foundation
• Composer package: capell-app/widget-live-poll
• Namespace: Capell\WidgetLivePoll
• Theme key: not applicable

Why It Matters

For developers: Voting, publication sync, payload resolution, rate controls, and retention are separated into Actions and provider configuration with feature coverage.

For teams: Teams can collect a bounded audience response on the page while controlling when aggregate results become public.

Evidence: src/Providers/WidgetLivePollServiceProvider.php, src/Actions/CastPollVoteAction.php, src/Actions/ResolveLivePollPayloadsAction.php, tests/Feature/LivePollTest.php, resources/views/widget.blade.php.

• Models: Poll, PollOption, PollVote.
• Core record references in migrations: sites via site_id, languages via language_id.
• Migration files: 2026_07_09_000001_create_capell_polls_table.php, 2026_07_09_000002_create_capell_poll_options_table.php, 2026_07_09_000003_create_capell_poll_votes_table.php.
• Migration impact: run host migrations through the package install flow before opening package surfaces.
• Deletion/retention behaviour: migrations declare cascade-on-delete relationships; retention is scheduled through capell:polls:prune-voters (daily).

Install Impact

• Admin navigation: no admin page or resource contribution is declared.
• Admin/editor extensions: content-widget: WidgetLivePollContribution.
• Permissions: none declared in capell.json.
• Public routes: loads routes/web.php.
• Database changes: package migrations are declared.
• Config: config/capell-widget-live-poll.php.
• Settings: no package settings declared.
• Queues or schedules: scheduled commands capell:polls:prune-voters (daily).
• Cache tags: widget-live-poll.
• Commands: console command classes detected: PrunePollVotersCommand.

Common Pitfalls

• Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases: capell-app/admin, capell-app/core, capell-app/frontend, capell-app/layout-builder.
• Run migrations before opening package resources or public routes.
• Review package configuration before production-like verification: config/capell-widget-live-poll.php.
• Review middleware, throttling, signatures, and public-output safety in routes/web.php before exposing routes.
• Register the host scheduler so these declared commands run at their documented frequencies: capell:polls:prune-voters (daily).
• Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
• Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for widget-live-poll cache tags.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Check	Fix
Package surface is missing after install	Provider or manifest is not loaded	Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration	Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches
Admin screen or command fails on missing table	Package migrations have not run	Check the tables listed in Data Model	Run host migrations and rerun the focused package test
Route returns unexpected output	Route cache, middleware, or signed URL setup does not match the package route file	Check the route files listed in Technical Shape	Clear route cache and verify middleware before exposing public routes
Background work does not run	Queue worker or declared schedule is not active	Check the jobs and scheduled commands listed in Technical Shape	Start the queue worker or host scheduler, then run the focused command or package test
Public output leaks unexpected state	Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed	Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests	Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests

Quick Start

1. Install the package: composer require capell-app/widget-live-poll.
2. Run the required setup: php artisan migrate.
3. Open the package detail or install-intent surface and confirm the Live Poll Widget extension card is present.
