URL |

Additional Conditions for Non-Menu Item URLs
For the poll to appear for a URL, the following conditions must be met:
The portal must proxy the URL entered. As such, you must access the URL from a page or pagelet that is registered in the portal. For example, the URL could be to a news article referenced off of a portal home page.
Note: The registered referring page on which the link to the unregistered URL appears should use an HTML template. If the referring page is a homepage pagelet, there are no special configuration considerations to take into account. If you are using a portal CREF as the referring page, make sure that the CREF has a template specified, and that it is an HTML template. If the survey does not appear on the URL when you access it, double-check to make sure that the referring CREF is not using the Context Manager template itself.
See the product documentation for PeopleTools: Portal Technology, “Understanding Portal Technology,” Portal Servlets.
See the product documentation for PeopleTools: Portal Technology, “Understanding Portal Technology,” Page-Based Template Proxying.
The URLs to which you want to associate a poll must also use the dynamic content template to render the poll in the Context Manager frame. Since this is not a registered URL, you will need to specify that the dynamic content template is designated as the portal's default template. Making this setting change will have special implications for your portal installation.
