Sections

transmogrify.wppolls.csvsource

This source section generates a list of polls and its results; it doesn’t takes care of any information about the voters.

[csvsource]
blueprint = transmogrify.wppolls.csvsource
source = /home/customer/site/data/
path = /polls
locale = pt-br
transitions = open

source:

full path to the WordPress CSV export files.

path:

path, relative to the site root, of the folder where polls should be created; defaults to ‘/polls’.

locale:

if you want the id normalizer to be aware of locale; defaults to ‘en’.

transitions:

a sequence of workflow transition names that will be executed. By default, polls are opened and then closed (‘open, close’).

transmogrify.wppolls.voteupdater

This section is needed to update the results of a poll as the schema updater section doesn’t know how to deal with it. It must be used after the constructor.

[voteupdater]
blueprint = transmogrify.wppolls.voteupdater
