I've been stuck trying to get this thing to work for some time now. I was frustrated that the seemingly overly-complex configuration set-up for D7 is completely undocumented, and was resorting to reading through the code, doing PHP and JavaScript debugger tracing, and so on. Truth be told, half an hour ago I noticed the link to this article on the project page which would have been incredibly handy several work-hours of frustration ago, but instead, I was using the "Read documentation" link in the sidebar as normal, and those docs pages are only for D6 and mostly useless for D7. Somehow or other I've managed to progress to the point where I'm having problems where page hits will only very rarely increase the score of a node, just to have the score completely wiped out on the next cron run anyway. Perhaps there's some logical behavior here, but I'd really rather not do more code tracing to find it.

Pardon the tone of this post, but I'm sure you've all been in this mindset once or twice.

Bumping priority.

This will be done as soon as I (or anyone!???) finds the time.

I got some feedback about the difficulty of setting up Radioactivity at DCMunich and as a result the next version (or currently the development version) has a sub feature module which adds some nice default profiles to be used :)

Added a first draft, please revise as needed.

Updated the documentation to include the proper way to hide the field.

I'm also struggling to get this module working. I simple tutorial (similar to http://www.wunderkraut.com/blog/radioactivity-2-basics/2011-12-05) would be very useful.

actually, you need to update the update of the documentation.

i am no longer able to specify an inner-join from the sort, so i do not know if all content is being considered or only content with some exposure to the module.

additionally (separate issue coming), i no longer see any form of integration with fivestar or other variables (like commenting) as outlined in the video on the project page.

+      $output .= t('Radioactivity has it\'s own method of hiding the field.  If the field is hidden using the regular field display method, the radioactivity counter on that content type <strong>WILL NOT WORK</strong>.  ');

This piece of doc in the patch just save my life. Thanks

Apologies for neglecting you guys AND the documentation.

I've committed the above patch to the repository.

A big thank you for the work so far :)

I won't close this as I believe there are some things which still require better documentation.
