    How Pligg Works?

    I will like to use it as an article directry that is interactive with best articles on top.

    Is it feasible? how long do stories stay on top? can I have max voted story on top forever?

    Every time a new story is published, it gets moved from the queue to the top of the front page. If you go into the /topstories.php you'll see the top voters of all time.

    So if I set threshold to move from queue to front page as 3. Afte 3 votes a story comes on top in front page. Now lets say another 300 ppl vote for it. It now has 303 votes but the moment a new story gets 3 votes, it would displace the popular 303 vote story?

    Please confirm if I understand it correctly?

    Can I not have the front page ranked in order of votes and not in order of how fresh the story is? My content is not time sensitive (articles and not news)

    Your understanding is correct. Don't know how to answer the second part of the question.

    1.

    Can I set the number of votes needed to make it to front page?

    2.

    I am still waiting on wether it is possible to rank content by just votes and not freshness.

    In the latest "nightly" version, you can open /index.php and find line 27

    if(!isset($_REQUEST['search'])){$search->orderBy = "link_published_date DESC";}

    and change to

    if(!isset($_REQUEST['search'])){$search->orderBy = "link_votes DESC";}

    Or in the current version, /index.php, line 64 from

    $order_by = " ORDER BY link_published_date DESC ";

    to
    $order_by = " ORDER BY link_votes DESC ";
