Using a more complex node type with this module?

Hi there,

I'm using this module on a fairly complex taxonomy/views setup to show the links by theme/category/tag, etc... with a lot of filtering and all...

I've found the module + taxonomy + views + actions very very powerful but there is one big problem I ran into and it's the node creation date and ordering nodes on the home page.

You see, all new nodes appear in the queue page, and when they have like 3 points they make it to the home page. The problem is that I want every newly promoted node to be to the top of the page when it's promoted....

The only way to do that now is to make an action that on X points:

- promoted the node to front page
- touches creation date

The on the home page view you simply order node by creation date descending and voila..

The issue here is that the submitted date is wrong! Sometimes a story can take a couple of days to make it to the home page, so then the date does not reflect the real date of the event.. (I run a news site, so it just seems wrong to me)..

I tried ordering by modifiation date instead, but then the problem is worst, as users can bump to the top of the page by editing their nodes... Also, they have to edit their links, as sometimes they want to correct typos, etc..

So I figured that maybe we should use a cck node instead of the normal vote up down node type for this??

The cck node would have another date value which would be 'submitted on' and the normal submitted on would become the 'promoted on' date, so that way I don,t have to create a new action fot the new created date in cck..

What do you think... using cck would give more power to this module in that regard no?

Thanks
