What determines the front page?

[nickaster]

Newbie alert here!

So, I've been playing aound with a new install and pligged a bunch of things, but none of them are on my front page. They do, however, appear if I go to "Pligg for Stories" ... what's the deal with determining what appears on the front? Is there some minimum number of users? Minimum times? Is all this adjustable?

Thanks!

This has been covered on several other forum threads. Please search for answers before posting. I'm not sure if the other posts are up to date with the latest release so I'll answer this anyways.

Open up config.php
Find:

PHP Code:

    define('votes_to_publish', 5); 


Replace 5 with how many votes it should take to publish a story on the front page.

Config.php is used for many other configuration options, so read through the file to see if there are any other values that you need or want to change.

Is there any plans on making a formula to help protect against spam/and pligg bombing?

I asked Ash about this a few days ago and he told me spam blacklisting was built in to Pligg by default, just not enabled. I hadn't noticed this until he told me. I haven't tried it yet, but it should block spam from a global blacklist. I'm sure he'll give us some more details when he sees this post.

To enable Spam protection
Open config.php
Find: define('CHECK_SPAM', false);
Replace with: define('CHECK_SPAM', true);

I started a wiki page for documentation so others can contribute.

What does that Spam protection do exactly?
