Module development and code questions

I've seen that there are a number of digg-like modules and just as many vote-up/down modules. However, what I'm after is a combination of the two.

As I understand it, the digg modules only let people vote on off-site articles, but what I'd like to be able to do is vote on pieces written by users and also to vote on user-submitted off-site posts.

Is this possible with any of the current modules?

Cheers.

Alexandra at Social Signal announced today they will be helping NewsCloud with its Drupal Module development and outreach plan. I'm very excited to their help.

The Drupal module for NewsCloud will help Drupal-based sites integrate a wide variety of social news features and services directly into their Web sites.

Hi all,

I have no coding experience but I do love to learn it so I started with converting the cpanel module to 5.1. After some tests it seems that all the menu's are available in 5.1 and the module is working. Of course I would like to give it back to the community the thing is, I do not have a CVS account (have no idea how to work with it yet). Since this was the first thing I did, I do not think that I can be of great help to people that have questions when the module is posted in the module section of Drupal.

Easy question: what am I missing because it doesn't call _validate nor _submit?

I need Drumm's Recommended Nodes module for a site I'm setting up, it hasn't been upgraded yet from 4.7 to 5.1, and isn't scheduled to be upgraded in the near future. I'm not a programmer and haven't been able to do the upgrade myself. I got lost trying to follow the upgrade directions.

(This is not the same module as the CRE (Content Recommendation) module and doesn't do the same thing, by the way. Drumm's module allows members to hit a button in the sidebar and directly recommend posts as "the best on the site and recommended reading." It also calculates when a recommendation was made, and then reduces the value of the recommendation over time based on an admin-set initial point value.

In other words, a recommendation might have an initial value of 10 points. After four hours, that recommendation is reduced down to 8 points. After eight hours, it goes down to half its value, and after 36 hours zeroes out. This means that unless new votes keep coming in for that post being "recommended," it will after a few hours move down and off the list of recommended posts. Dynamic and neat.)

Hi,

I would need functionality that is provided by the subform module (http://drupal.org/project/subform) in drupal 4.7. Does anyone know if there is a workaround to use subforms as it's not ported to 5.1 yet? I would need plain subforms to add subnodes to a node.

Thanks,
Reinhard
