README

This extension is a simple eZ Publish Platform (Legacy) kernel datatype (based on ezoption default datatype) to provide a simple feature it allows for the default options required for boolean voting using the eZ Publish core Information Collection System where everything is created upon content node creation and then voting can begin. Very Flexible Implementation!

With this kernel datatype override installed and enabled you can finally use this as a object attribute for displaying a vote and vote count features on the webpage.

This is helpful and useful for distinguishing website from others with just the default information collection system as the engine. More features planned.
