Drigg promotes archived scoops without any check whether it's archived or not

Issue Summary

Hi,

If a scoop was posted 6 months ago, and 6 months later it manages to gather enough points to be promoted, then it's no longer news. And it looks pretty discrediting when a site has a 6-months old news item on its front-page.

I remember there used to be a feature (or I could be wrong), whereby admins can specify a specific number of days (or hours) after which the scoop will not be promoted to the front page even if it gathers enough votes pass the threshold. But I can't find where it is located in 5x or in 6x. A little pointer would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Scoops in the "Archived" section are no longer eligible for promotion. As simple as that.

yeah, I though so too... but recently some of the very old scoops did get through to the front page, and I could think of no reason why that happened.

since someone else is having this issue , I'm changing this to a bug
(but mind you, my live site site where this is happening is a 5x-36 , not a 6x-dev)

@jr50 - is your site on drigg 6x-dev ?

After 1 year of low activity, I'm now upgrading my site to 6.x . Strangely enough, on my 5x site archived scoops do not get promoted. But on my 6.x site they do.

jr50, were you able to resolve this issue in 6x?

Anyone?

Title:Do not promote scoop after X number of hours» Drigg promotes archived scoops without any check whether it's archived or not
Priority:normal» critical

I suspect that the problem could be in the line 139

      if ($o->promote == 0 && $o->killed == 0) {

but apart from checking whether the scoop is un-promoted and not killed, it should also check that the scoop is not archived.

Does anyone know what needs to be added to that line to make it work?
