Hi;

I am using vote up/down module and I have set it up in a way which every node which has more than certain number of points will be promoted to the front page.

I have another page which is called "All posts". For going to the "All posts" page the user needs to click on it in the menu on the left side.

Now I am trying to make it like the first page of digg.com website. As you can see in the website on the top, there are two links as following:

Popular stories
Upcoming stories

How can I make my website to have the same look as digg.com has for "Popular posts" and ''All posts".

Let me explain it better. Let us assume that I am using "pushbutton" theme. If we go to Themes which is under administration in the first page we will see two menus on top "list" and "configure". I want to have the same construction in my front page but instate of "list" and "configure", I want to have "Popular posts" and "All posts".

Thanks,

Rostam

I have a more basic, but related, question about using Vote Up/Down. I recently added the module and I would like to get it to display a nodes points in more stytlized way, as you have done. Currently it just lists the points in the $links line along with the "Read More", "Register or Login" text links. How do I move the points up besdie the stroy title and use an image for the background? I have had no luck so far.

Thanks
Glen

I do not know about the background, so if you found something let me know,

And know about the points ...

first follow the following link:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/vote_up_down/...

Then if it does not show the points by the side of the links, start to play around, I do not remember what I exactly did but go to administrator -> settings -> vote_up_down or voting api
start to play around, you will find it very fast...
sorry that I do not remeber what I did exactly.

Cheers,
Rostam

Thanks, but that's not my issue. I have the points showing up fine next to the $links line. However, what I am trying to accomplish is what Gloscon has done on the site he linked to above. With the points displayed along side the stories title. Any insight on this anyone?

Thanks

You need to make the menu items of type MENU_LOCAL_TASK.

When creating a View it's also called a 'Provide Menu as Tab' option.

Hi budda,

thanks for your reply.

>You need to make the menu items of type MENU_LOCAL_TASK.
Perhaps, I didn't quite understand this part. Isn't the link provided just enables us to hook modules with menus/item?

I did set the option "Provide Menu as Tab' but no tab was added. But no major changes happened, still I don't get any tab menus at the top?

Please let me know if I am missing any point,

Thanks again,

Rostam.

Sounds cool - would you be willing to disclose how you did this part? -> "I have set it up in a way which every node which has more than certain number of points will be promoted to the front page."

After installing every thing go to the "voting actions" and you will be able to set rules, the following page is really useful, just follow it.
