Vote defines a new entity type (vote). Votes can be cast on ANY entity type that "your drupal" knows (even on "vote" itself).
Vote provides "functions" and "voting types":
A function basically provides a handler which defines how and where a function stores its result values. Each function can have its own db table to store the results in order to allow more complex functions to break the INTEGER barrier which the default result table uses for its results.
A voting type basically combines a group of functions. For example a voting type "percent" would combine the functions "average" and "count" while "points" would also use the "sum" function.
Voting types and functions both use a set of classes as handlers to provide custom option forms and advanced (and individual) functionality for each function / voting type. The functions handler -for example- makes it possible to store function result values in seperate db tables with different table structures.
Im actively seeking new maintainer for the project, please get in touch if interested!!
The User Notifications module was born out of the need for a Facebook Style notifications system where each user can see a list of notifications related to them.
The module offers a new Rules action "Send a new notification to a user" which allows admin users to trigger notifications to be sent when certain events occur on a site.
A default notification system is provided (based heavily on the privatemsg module code, thank you to litwol) for sending out notifications.
This default notifications system can be disable or complimented by enabling the messaging module API and send notifications via the methods offered there (mail, private message, sms etc).
The module is in active development and will be part of the DrupalSN.com upgrade which will initial be to Drupal 6.
A Drupal 7 version will come in time.
Integrates with
- Rules (this module does the hard work and triggers notifications)
- Toolbar
