Feature Request: Number field

[68040]

When i ask my friends if they are coming, i also like to know how much people are coming. Do they come alone, or as couple, or do they bring some one else sister/brother/best friend/kids, etc.

So a simple plain number field would be a great widget enhancement.

Isn't this feature already addressed by the "Edit the Choices" button. Here anyone can add an option like "My friend and I", and associate it with an integer value of 2, or "Family of four" and associate it with 4.

Maybe a good thing would be to add a link to the "Add a choice" form directly from the dropdownlist of choices on the homepage, as a shortcut to add choices if one cannot find any correct choice.
What do you think ?

Nope. This could easily lead to a confusingly amount of choices.

Here anyone can add an option like "My friend and I", and associate it with an integer value of 2, or "Family of four" and associate it with 4.

A simple sample: The 80th birthday of grandpa.

When a family member comes with it's wife, her sister-in-law, his 3 kids and her 2 nephews. That are 3 adults and 5 kids. It's getting very unclear, when you have to try to cover all possible combinations of 1-5 adults and 0-5 kids with just one popup.

A solution could be, having two separate popups (one for the number of adults and one for the kids) or simply a number field just for the kids. - Cause you can't predict how many kids comes with.

In my case: I have to organize a Barbecue in our neighborhood. The indian family at the and of the block has a man, three women and about 6-7 kids. I don't know it exactly.

Good Idea.

I agree situations can be complex and one should not layout all possibilities. However, I do not want to tie Kyélà to any specific use case. Staying generic implies some creativity from the users.
When you have several categories (i.e. adults/kids for barbecues, or 5km/10km/20km for runners), the way to go is duplicate the events, or even duplicate polls.
Taking your barbecue example, I would create eight choices (No, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven), and two events: "Barbecue Adults" and "Barbecue Kids". Then create two entries for each family: "Family Name's adults" and "Family Name's kids". It's not optimal in terms of user experience, but it stays generic.

bonjour,
l'ajout d'un sous-titre ouvre-t-il une possibilité dans le sens de la demande initiale ? Peut-être détailler la date déjà ciblée par un premier stade de sondage en "accompagné" "enfants" ?
