How submitted stories are promoted?

Hi.

Using the last version (Beta 9), I'm trying to know how submitted stories are promoted. Must I create a cron job or something similar?

I don't find any clue about this within the PHP scripts. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much.

They're promoted to the front page after they've reached a number of votes. You can set this number in the admin config > voting I believe. The default number is 5. You can also manually publish them by using the "admin links" next to each story.

Yep, you can edit that parameter by using:
admin_config.php?page=Voting

And you can promote it automatically with:
linkadmin.php?id=XXX&action=published

But is this done by using a cron job or something similar? Thank you very much.

If you want them to be automatically published then just set the value to 1. The point of Pligg is to let users decide which stories are the best and if 5 people vote for a story it hits the front page. There should be no need for cron jobs.
