Digg-style Voting Module
I very much like what frjo has done with the vote up/down module.
It utilizes the voting api, actions, voting actions, and links modules, along with some cool AJAX. Well done frjo.
Vote up/down mimics the reddit.com style of voting, rather than digg.com. I, and I'm sure many others, would like to see a Digg Voting module created as well. I'd like to do this myself, and actually have started experimenting based of the vote up/down module, but I am not very good at php yet, let alone AJAX.
I imagine the two modules would be closely related, as the only thing thats different is the css and removal of the negative voting option.
I am hoping that someone more advanced in their programming abilities desires this module as well, just to speed things along. As of now, I'll keep experimenting; however, if anyone wants to pitch in some advice, tips, or even code, feel free ;) frjo?
Thanks!
Personally I don't much like
Personally I don't much like the digg style of voting where you only can vote +1. I think the result of +1/-1 votes leads to good content instead of just popular content.
So this is not a function I will spend time on, if someone contribute a nice and clean patch I will take a serious look at it.
Happy to here you like the Vote up/down project!
I'm close but it's just a bit buggy
I'm really close to making the vote up down into something similar to digg. The only problem I am having now is that when someone votes they have to click twice to get the score to change or refresh the page, it's quite odd. But I am close to getting it done. I don't know if the way I coded it will make it easy for someone to just plug it in though.
How's it coming?
Hi Livvy,
Any update on your progress? If you'd like to share, I'd like to try it out.
thanks
still work in progress
right now I got the widget working but it still does a few odd things like when you vote in firefox it expands the voting are that the number of votes is located in, also the link to vote is in a weird spot. So right now it's more CSS problems than anything else. I think the way I did it, it would be hard to reskin it to look a different way so that is another negative. But it works just still needs some mini fixes. Right now I am trying to show all the users who voted on the story and I got that to work but after a certain amount of voters I want to have it paginate and that is giving me probs because I am grabbing the info from the votingapi instead of an SQL statement. So I am going to try a few things today to try to get that part to work.
Anybody successful yet?
Has anybody been successful in modifying this yet? I found some posts during my search that mentioned removing the "vote down" function as well as the reference to the down arrow widget, but I'm afraid to try this myself.
Take a look at the cvs

Thank you
Thank you; I had downloaded the latest release for 4.7. I was unsure whether CVS versions were safe to install.
Just one more question; is there a way to have the URL for the source of the articles/stories appear?
See the included
See the included node-storylink.tpl.php and template.php for an example how to do this.
