digg
Digg-like voting modules
Modules with the stated goal of creating digg/reddit-like clones in Drupal:
| Module | User Base | 5.x? | 6.x? | Notes | Module Updated | Info as of |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drigg | 376 | Yes | Yes(dev) | Changing Maintainer; Voting is controlled by Extra Voting Form + Voting API | 2008.11.28 | 2009.04.19 |
ubuntuwatch.com - yet another digg clone
digg.com for ubuntu users? Maybe, but like the earlier version of digg; voting on just the nodes(just the voting). Zen theme in new pajamas! nodes have slideshow of imagefield pics(http://ubuntuwatch.com/node/12), with rip-off of the background buttons for multiple pics, from the lullabots! sorry :P sorry to moshe too ;-) (but you have it in new avatar now ;)
I don't plan to commercialize/earn-from-it in any way, if someone of you thought, it was part of my fun times, playing and implementing with Drupal. It was ready since the oct of '07 but could get it online in dec month. And after all Thanks http://HCoop.net/ !
(i know there are poor way of implementations, hacky job on vote button(half rip-off from rubybaboon), and peekaboo bugs are treating me good for IE.., etc..)
No, it's not based on drigg, project from scratch, but I recommend it to anyone who plans to begin with drupal building a similar website. I'll try to publish the recipe in the near future, if time allows... :)
After all hobby projects don't get your skills rusted, what do you say?

Encouragement for the Geeks
Lets give some encouragement to the Geeks and God guys, (Rob Feature and Matt Farina) To encourage them, and keep up the great Drupal work, please give their Podcast a vote on Digg.
Great podcast guys, I enjoy the regular updates and it compliments the other Drupal Podcast from Lullabot. Keep up the GREAT work!
Taking voting *speed* into account
Hi
I am thinking about tuning my vote_up_down based site into a bit more digg-like site. On Digg 50 votes per hour can outperform 500 votes per two weeks - it allows "hot" news to be pushed to the front page earlier. Can similar things be achieved with the help of voting_api?
- I am thinking about attaching to every node, not only a "vote" counter, but also kind'a "internal priority" counter, that would be increased by user votes and decreased by time therefore making old votes less valuable.
*Periodically* scheduled actions sometimes resulting in the state transitions
Hi
Could anybody, please, tell if workflow module can be used for doing/checking things periodically and making a state transition basing on the check results?
So what's the recipe for Digg these days?
Prior to the recent innovations with actions integration, the recipe for digg was to install vote_up_down and follow directions. Now, if you do that, you end up with function conflicts between voting api and voting_actions. I therefore removed voting_actions since it seems to be deprecated. Where do I go from there to get custom actions based on voting?
(note: I'm researching almost as I type and hope to be able to answer my own questions =)
