Vote up/down Package

This project is an attempt to build a digg.com/reddit.com clone. It builds upon a number of other module, see below.

Unless a new maintainer steps forward this project is discontinued.

AJAX functionality is used for voting if the browser supports it. Bookmarklets are supported for quickly submitting new story links. A number of RSS feeds are available.

This is not a point and click solution. This project provide the missing pieces but you need to put them all together. Please try it out and submit any bugs and feature request through the projects issue tracker.

Instead of using the storylink module included here you could go the modern route and use CCK + Views. A little more work but a lot more flexibel and easier to change to another voting module if something better comes along.

* vote_up_down.module - Provides a widget for user to vote up/down (+1/-1) for a node.
* vote_storylink.module - Provides a node type suitable for links to storys
* node-storylink.tpl.php - PHPTemplate theming of story links
* template.php - PHPTemplate theming of story links
* vote_up_down.css - Adds some css style to the above files.
* ajax_vote_up_down.js - JavaScript for AJAX functionality
