Hi,

As of now all my scoops that are promoted to the front page stay there forever unless i manually either demote or delete them. I want them to be automatically archived.

Can I do this?

Thanks.

P.S. I have "How many top stories will be shown in the top stories AJAX box" set to 5, but it allows more than 5 to remain nonetheless. Help!?!

Hi,

promoted scoops stay promoted, they just move down the line as new scoops get promoted.

So drigg expects you to either have a front page that eventually has hundreds of scoops on it, or to manually delete old scoops (making them unsearchable)?

No you can control how many scoops are visible in the front page.
Then pagination takes over.

/admin/settings/drigg/general
How many items should be shown in each page?:

I may be wrong but I haven't seen how to archive published scoops after x amount of time.

Well then there is my problem (and maybe I should start a new thread for this?) I have How many items should be shown in each page? set to 5, but the front page doesn't begin paginating the scoops after 5 get promoted. It just lets more and more stay on the front page, so I have been manually demoting them.

Any thoughts?

I will also like to know how to control first page stories.

Have you used the express install or did you do the install yourself?

I did it myself

could there be some other setting im missing or a piece of code i could insert to make it paginate?

If you did it yourself then maybe you missed a step, look in /admin/settings/site-information in the field "Default front page" I suspect you still have "node" you should put "drigg_home". Tell us if it was that.

I did still have node there--but when i try for "drigg_home" it gives me:

"The path 'drigg_home' is either invalid or you do not have access to it."

Working on figuring out why I'm getting that error message...

of course you need to remove the quotes, put drigg_home and not "drigg_home"
I hope that's what you did.

For posterity--I succesfully changed my default front page, as well as the home page in the Drigg UI settings, to "drigg_home" and now my front page scoops are getting paginated.

thanks everyone!
