Description
Hi
I run a voting-based web-site. Whenever storylink is voted 2 times, it is promoted to the front page and touched, so that I could order items via views module by the promotion date (that is equal to the last change date).
Now see what happens, when I change the promotion limit to 3. Some already promoted items with only 2 votes can get a third one and.. voting_action will be fired against them - they will be promoted and touched. As a result the items promoted long time ago will appear on the top of the front page.
I wonder what I could do with it. Is there any way to specify that particular voting_actions should be considered for non-promoted items only?
Best regards,
Artem.

I managed to hack the solution by creating a "promoteandtoucheifnotpromoted" action that includes a check for the promotion flag. However it's just a hack. Is it possible to somehow specify at least some "advanced" action conditions via the web interface?
function action_node_promoteandtoucheifnotpromoted($op, $edit = array(), &$node) {
switch($op) {
case 'metadata':
return array(
'description' => t('If node not yet promoted, promote node to front page and touch node change date'),
'type' => t('Node'),
'batchable' => true,
'configurable' => false,
);
if($node->promote != 1){
$node->changed = time();
$node->promote = '1';
$node->revision = '0';
if (!$edit['defer']) {
node_save($node);
}
watchdog('votingaction', t('Promoted node id %id to front page. Touched it', array('%id' => intval($node->nid))));
} else {
watchdog('votingaction', t('Not promoting and touching already promoted node id %id', array('%id' => intval($node->nid))));
}
