Great module! Is it possible to set up views with different sort orders, eg. one that takes radioactivity rating from last 24 hours, another for a week and another for a month?

To make sure I understand your question correctly: You have three profiles (day/week/month) and you'd like to have a single view which has a sort option for different profiles, right?

I'm not sure if that can be done with D6 views (could be, though), but people are regularly using, e.g., jquery ui tabs for this: Render the different views to different tabs (day/week/month). As simple as that, if that's what you wanted.

I'll have a go at that, cheers!

Have you got any suggestions on how to create these three profiles effectively? (Month, week, day). I tried using the "Half-life of the radioactivity in seconds" setting like this -

Month - 1296000
Week - 302400
Day - 43200

I'm not convinced by the results. Have you any suggestions of how to do this better?

Those values should be fairly good. However, keep in mind that the day view begins to work well only after half-life period has passed since creating the profile.

You could try smaller values for day profile, e.g., 20000 to emphasize the nodes that have gotten recent reads.

In www.uusisuomi.fi they use now/day/week (in Finnish: nyt/päivä/viikko) views for reads, and at least they say that works well. I think "now" has half-life of 15 mins (900 secs). I could ask what numbers they use for day and week. I think the views work better if you have fairly big number (more than 10) of new nodes per day to have enough spread in activity.

Thanks for your responses. I guess it's a case of playing around with the profiles. I was just wondering if I was missing something obvious. I guess we'll just wait to get some traffic and see how it goes.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Would appreciate if anyone could suggest the optimal settings for the module for a news website with about 10-20 new nodes added daily. We would like to display a block of popular content for one week period only.
