Vital features

[profonline]

Since the pioneer in the field was digg, so let's first clone all the features, and then add some new. The features that must be implemented into the future realeases are as follows:

1. "Vote" button that can be implemented into blogs and other sites showing the number of votes from particular social site
2. Ability to "bury" stories
3. Username availability check under registration
4. Ability to blog stories
5. Under a story view: tab "who blogged this"
6. Verification e-mail
7. Image view for stories
8. Profanity filter and different views for comments
9. "Add to..." button for other sites to be able to add the stories to the social site
10. Friend list in your profile
11. Invitation form showed after verification

1 is already available, and being improved upon.
2 is also currently being devoloped.
9 and 10 are also available currently.

The rest I'm not sure of any devolpement status, but are good ideas!

You mean anybody can put a vote button to the site's articles and track the number of votes they've generated? Like at the page http://lukas8.110mb.com/?p=6 ? You must be kidding, where can find the description of such a feature in Pligg?

In addition, the search function should be expanded by adding the filter to the results like here http://www.digg.com/search?section=news&s=car including the buried stories.

For 1 There is a code called EVB (External Vote Buton and YankiDank was working on it) - but dunno how far it works and is being used as I was never able to see the demo as the link was down.

You can refer more on it at http://www.pligg.com/forum/showthrea...+vote+butto n

Just wanted to reply to this myself and provide a little bit more info.

1. As someone said above. Check out the EVB readme file in the /evb directory.
2. This is in development. Ash has done a great job. As of right now it works. We've tested it with a simple formula and it discards stories after the story reaches a certain amount of "reports" compared to the number of votes it has.
3. This is already implemented. check out /register.php
4. Sorry, not available in Pligg. Anyone is welcome to code this up if they want to help us.
5. Same as above.
6. Sorry, not available in Pligg. Anyone is welcome to code this up if they want to help us.
7. I'm not sure what this means? Image upload for stories? There should be a toturial on the forum somewhere that tells you how to do this.
8. Sorry, not available in Pligg. Anyone is welcome to code this up if they want to help us.
9. This is already implemented. If you want to add to the current list of sites feel free to open link_summary.tpl and add to the list at the bottom of the file.
10. This is already implemented. There is a link in your profile that says "View your friends".
11. Sorry, not available in Pligg. Anyone is welcome to code this up if they want to help us.

kbeeveer46 - Any ETA on this "Bury" feature? I'm probably going to hold off going live with the Pligg site I'm developing until this and a few bugs are ironed out.

My site will be dedicated to a sports team, and as we all know sports fans tend to be tribal and I'd hazard a guess that there will be plenty of visitors to my site looking to abuse it.

Keep up the great work.

It could be available right now but we need to tweak the formula a bit and let admins be able to change it from the admin panel.

The formula we tested so far is $reports > $votes * 3. This means that after a story has 1 vote and 4 reports it will be discarded. This works well for stories with small numbers of votes, but what happens when a story has 20 votes? It will require 60 reports to be discarded. These are the types of things we have to work out.

We don't really have a time set for its release. I think I am going to create its own thread and get feedback and ideas on how it should work.

7. I'm not sure what this means? Image upload for stories? There should be a toturial on the forum somewhere that tells you how to do this.

What I mean is an ability to aggregate images (even for videos) from the articles reported on Pligg sites and show them right next to the entries (in the user section, there should be an option to turn the feature on or off). Digg used to do it, but know one can see images only on its video pages. On Pligg, there is an ability to load images via the script (if you move your mouse to a link, you'd see the site's front page).

The feature is well implemented on Netscape.
