Embedding polldaddy poll in single.php sidebar

    Hi,

    I am trying to embed a poll daddy plugin into my wordpress sidebar.php so it can show against each poll in single.php:

    <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Poll Daddy Poll ID', true) ) : ?>
     <div id="poll-side">
     <?php $pollId = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Poll Daddy Poll ID', true); ?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode($pollId); ?>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>

    I have setup a custom field and stored the value on it. If I just echo out the raw value, it does that but the code above should be rendering the poll. What am I doing wrong?

    Your code totally worked for me. I appreciate you posting the code. Hope you figured out what was going wrong.

    $thepdcode = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdcode', true);
                  if ($thepdcode){
                  	?><div style="padding-bottom:20px;"><?php
                  	$pattern = '/[a-zA-Z]/';
                  	//preg_match($pattern, $meta)
                    if (preg_match($pattern, $thepdcode)){
                    	print "<!-- pd wp shortcode -->";
                    	echo do_shortcode($thepdcode);
                    } else {
                      //pdcode: incorrect syntax
                    }
                    ?></div><?php
                  } else {
                  	//pdcode: missing
                  }
