Could someone recommend an approach to create functionality seen on sites such as 43things.com? Could I pull this off with a module(or two) and some lite PHP, or would I have to develop a ton of PHP to do this? Functionality is specifically:
- UserA submits a blurb of text. A paragraph or just one sentence.
- Done: New content type - "blurb"
- show a list of UserA's blurbs.
- Done: Views2, taking advantage of Arguments to show a specific user and going to a url such as /users/UserA/blurb-list. Right now, the argument is pulling who wrote the blurb. This should really be sort of "what's on my list", not "what I authored"
- UserA ranks all his/her submitted blurbs in a custom preferred order -- a list.
- No clue how to do this. Would love functionality with the help of jquery like you see when ordering blocks.
- UserB can "copy" UserA's blurb and save it to their list (and rank it within their list).
- No clue how to do this. Imagine looking at UserA's list in a table view, clicking on a title, seeing the blurb, clicking the "add this to my list" type of button. Would that be some sort of hidden tagging using Taxonomy/Categories?
- Would like to count/display how many users have done this.
- Would also like to create the average of where it appears in everyone's list.
- No clue how to do this. Imagine looking at UserA's list in a table view, clicking on a title, seeing the blurb, clicking the "add this to my list" type of button. Would that be some sort of hidden tagging using Taxonomy/Categories?
So, is there a module or a way to have lists?
thanks!
