Loomio

Share proposal ongoing results

Ricardo Araújo PublicSeen by 83

What about make available a embebed link to share proposal results on wordpress or in any other site that suports embedded objects? It could be shared the percentage circle and also the opinions in the votings if desired.

I'm in a political project. We would like to be able to share our inner decisions made on loomio, to our worspress site. And since the point of loomio is to make decisions, makes all sense that they can be showed to the outside.

So would need to be able to grab a code like this on every proposal:

Create embedded proposal voting/results

Outcome
by Ricardo Araújo

This seems to be a feature highly desired.

Create a way to share a proposal on any kind of site, appearing like in loomio, to show the proposal ongoing results, and if the proposal is public, enabling anyone to vote in it, directely in the embedded object on the site.

I totally agree because i would like to use that functionality, and think every social group using loomio that have a homepage would like to use it too.

Chris Taklis
Agree

I find it awesome idea to embed the proposal...

PauKokura
Agree

I'm tweeting it, maybe we can find a "who" XD

@richarddbartlett , what do you mean 'without a who'??

Chris Taklis

@richarddbartlett a proposal has some link to it so it is difficult from below of the graphic of the proposal to show automatically the embed code.

Ricardo Araújo

Oh, i must do that? Ups, didn't knew. I just made this to share an ideia and see how people feel about it. I can't build it, but if i could i would be happy to do it.

Richard D. Bartlett

Sorry @ricardoaraujo I wasn't very clear!

I just wanted to be clear that while we may agree that it is a great feature, that doesn't mean it is going to get built immediately.

Proposals like these are a great way to develop ideas though, don't let me discourage you :)

I'm going to move this thread into the Feature Ideas group, where we usually have these kinds of discussions.

Alanna Irving

I think this is a really good idea! Plugging loomio in to existing platforms so you can make decisions wherever your group is already is a goal we have for sure.

As @richarddbartlett said, I am happy to support this as long as everyone understands that it's probably something that will happen at some indeterminate time in the future, unless an open source contributor wants to step in and build it right now.

Chris Taklis

may i ask in which language do you programming? but embed proposals is very easy in html!

Richard D. Bartlett

We're using Ruby on Rails. @robertguthrie is well under way developing the new interface using Angular. To my limited knowledge, that means we'll have an internal API running in the near future, which I think will make it a lot easier to build this feature.

Connecting these proposals:
https://www.loomio.org/d/ivga1ORm/embeddable-discussions-and-voting

And I'll post the same comment on each. Would be great to merge them.

How's this coming? Anywhere on the near horizon? We just ran into (yet another) issue that people want to vote on. We'd use it immediately. Otherwise, many people would need to get Loomio accounts, log in, reproduce the issue, and vote here, and it would be out of the context of the organization they wanted vote in.

I'm gonna guess this subject can't get onto the 'front burner' with the core team pushing Loomio 1.0 right now, but I do think it's an extremely high value idea. Thanks @bobhaugen for asking about it.

Richard D. Bartlett

I reckon we'll have it this year. Eh @robertguthrie :)

Bob Haugen

Yippee! Please ping me when I can sign up.

Robert Guthrie

Oooooh yea. Thanks for the suggestion it's important that this is possible.

Just for clarity , I think there are two features under discussion here:
* an automated means of displaying the outcome of a Loomio decision on other platforms (pie chart and all)
* an automated means of participating in a decision from other platforms

Both sound cool, but the first one seems like lower-hanging fruit. I'm guessing what we're talking about is an HTML5 embed code, similar to the ones folks use for embedding YouTube videos. This would require:
* a visual element added to the decision part of the UI to allow the embed code to be copied to clipboard
* the syntax of the embed code to be designed
* code on the server end to respond to the embed code by sending the display of the pie chart to another server, instead of a user's browser
