I hope I picked the right category.

I'm building a political board that I once had on the Scoop system. One of the features that makes Scoop so nice is the ability of the community to rate content and cause the most popular/best rated content to float to the front page for viewing.

I've been looking at the Voting/Evaluation modules here: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/60

There seems to be a collection of new/old modules that perform a variety of functions but I'm having trouble figuring out which are best supported and which are the best to put together to create the desired functionality.

My ideal would be a rating system that works like this:

1. Users can rate a particular node
2. Algorithm takes into account the amount of votes a node receives as well as the average rating and gives front-page, on-top status to the best ranked pages.
3. I would also like the Algorithm to factor in how "old" an article is. That is, it needs to be somewhat fresh and I don't want really old, popular articles to be forever on top so maybe the algorithm would factor the age in as a depreciating factor.

Any ideas on how I can string this together. Specifics would be appreciated in lieu of generic "use this module and this module" advice if you have the time.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure Content Recommendation Engine fits this purpose specifically because it deals with each specific user.

I.E the page located at www.example.com/recommendations displays a list of nodes that takes into account

  1. amount of votes
  2. average rating
  3. age of node

But it takes this information and combines it with the user's set of ratings to produce a list of nodes recommended for that user. Different users will see a different page.

This can be done with the new cre 5.x-1.0 package. It now contains the proper files.

Enable both cre and node_recommendation. GOTO admin/cre/node and set the age limit (in days) for each node.

If you would like the top listing of the highest rated nodes within the set time frame goto recommendations/0
