Hi, Andrew Hoppin got in touch with Moby and his webmaster. If you have few minutes to check his site and give him advice go ahead and put it in this thread. We can forward the thread on and maybe write a summary for him.

I'd love to see an improved rating system for Drupal.

The framework is already in place, it just needs to be adapted a little. Basically, I'd like comment ratings (moderation) to carry over into user profiles.

So for example. If Bob gets a rating of -1, 4, 5, and 2 on one comment, and a rating of 5, 3, 2, 4 on another comment, he'd have a total of: 24 points (-1 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 4). His average rating would be 3.0 (24 points divided by 8 seperate ratings).

Also, I'd like it if values could be set for submitted content. For example, if Bob submits a story and it is placed in the submission queue and gets 3 votes, I should be able to set it so that Bob gets x points for each vote. I could set it so that he got 3 points for each vote a story that he submitted got, or 1 point or 5. Basically, it'd be my choice.

So let's say I set it so that users get 1 point for each vote per story they submit. Bob submits a story, and it gets 10 votes.

So Bob gets 10 points. Now remember, Bob had 24 points earlier from comments, so now he has 34 total points, and a user rating of 3.77 (34 divided by 9). Now this is another aspect of it. I should be able to weight how much submissoins would be worth. For example, I could set it so that if a is submitted, all of the total votes (in the submission queue) only count as 1 rating, or I could set it so that they'd count as 3. Where this comes into factor is the average user rating. If I set it so that the submission only counts as one rating, his user rating in the end would be 3.77 (again, 34 points divided by 8 comment ratings + 1 story rating), but if I set it so that story submissions count for 5 ratings, his user rating would be 2.62 (34 points divided by 8 comment ratings + 5 story ratings).

Is it possible to have stickies on users blogs?

Ty in advance!

i have been trying to figure out how to theme individual fields for the flexinode module. all i could find was how to customize each individual field type for the whole node, but i wanted to basically take each individual field and do with it whatever i wanted.

after reading the readme file, i discovered that what i want to do is possible. it says that all of the fields are named flexinode_n where n is the field ID of the node. how to i access that information? has anyone used this and if so, could you please provide some examples?

Hello!

I write some content in my blog. Now only after the next cron (30 minutes) my site pings other sites that it`s been updated.
But this content can be 30 minutes old! So, for what the ping at all?
I think I misunderstand something, right?

I was wanting to edit some of the set blocks in drupal like "Who's Online" or "Navigation". Are those saved in PHP files or what? Where can I find them?

Thanks :)
