Hi,

I don't know how long need a scoop to be archived on a drigg website, but I would like to know if it's possible to change that ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Administer -> Site Config -> Drigg module -> How many hours entries stay in the "upcoming" queue:

This sets how long entries will be in upcoming -- after that time, they will slip into "archived"!

If you need more info, just reopen the task!

Bye :-D

Thanks a lot for you reply, but What happens if the scoop is published and on the first page, will it remain there until another scoop get more votes ? It won't be archived after a while ?

Also, what does the check box "Will hide the vote given by the select box" ?

Bye.

No, it won't get archived. Basically, only unpublished scoops end up in the "archived" section

-----------------------------------------
Also, what does the check box "Will hide the vote given by the select box" ?
-----------------------------------------

It's a bit of an obscure one...
Basically, when reloading the page, the select box will appear "clean". It's useful if you have two voting forms for the same node - "up" and "down" with the arrows, AND a select box ( < 0 only) so that people can report something as spam.

Now, basically if you enable this option, and a person votes "down", when they reload the page the select box won't have -1 or -2 or however much the arrows assigns. It keeps the voting amounts a bit more "secret".

Seems like front page content should also be archived eventually doesnt it?

Yes, it seems to me also! Isn't it the way on others digg-like websites ?!

Actually it seems very important to me !

This would be one of the most important improvement as well as a different autovoting: the system should vote x times for each story, not x times for the global amount of stories.

Hi,

This issue is closed. Therefore, it's not monitored as well.
wwwoliondorcom, I have to ask you to _please_ stop posting unrelated requests in unrelated bugs. It makes my life _much_ harder, and it confuses me and others.

There is no point in "archiving" news. There are three "containers":

* Published. This is what made it to the home page. It's the same as Digg, and it's how it should work. Go to http://www.digg.com/page192 and see page 192... the same applies to Drigg

* Upcoming. This is anything that is not published and it's not X hours old yet.

* Archived. This is everything that DIDN'T make it to the front page. You can configure Drigg so that it doesn't have the link - although you might want to put a link somewhere in your site with the list of archived news, for SEO purposes

Bye,

Merc.
