autovoting seems to only add once a day?
Posted March 24th, 2008 by edwinonline
hi guys,
Autovoting runs every 1 hour, 10 votes of 1 karma per hour.
The cron runs, feeds get added, and according to the logfiles the autovoting takes place:
AUTOVOTING 03/24/2008 - 11:40 Votes to assign: 10, remainder (votes): 0.150396825208, ... Anonymous

now the kicker: only once a day my homepage gets updated with new stories.
why is that? it seems to keep everything in the upcoming on 1 untill some sort of treshold is made and kicks in a whole new frontpage.
so what does the autovoting do? i know you answered all topics that ask the same with "check the logs"
but to be honest, to a non-programmer this doesnt mean much :)
i mean i dont know what to conlude from this lol :)
thanks for your help

This is simple...
Hi,
OK, this is simple:
3654.14285707 seconds passed since last autovoting
This means that you are only running cron once a DAY, rather than once an hour!
Autovoting really likes to be run a LOT. Once every 10 minutes is a good start...
Merc.
ill change this to 30
well thats what i have been saying:
it does run every hour, it just doesnt update every hour :) i read some more topics here wich have been noticing the same thing :)

ill change this to 30 minutes, perhaps autovoting and feed grabbing dont come at the same time then :) that might help
i have tried everything now,
i have tried everything now, cron runs every 10 minutes, 50 votes / hour etc etc, but no luck, homepage hardly gets updated while new content is added every hour in the "upcoming"
last new post on the homepage is 1 day and 9 hours old now
I posted a comment but...
Hi,
I posted a comment about it, but I must have only previewed it...
Can you please paste here the WHOLE information for an entry log? You can see the full entry log by clicking on it in the admin interface.
That will probably tell me what's going wrong.
Merc.
thanks for taking a look :)
thanks for taking a look :)
here is the full entry log
here is my site:
www.swibble.nl and as you can see, the "upcoming" lists in all categories have items in it and that it gets new ones every hour, but you can see that they are all @ 1 vote even when i select them as on most popular

Deciders...
Hi,
The problem is that you still need to set a bunch of users (the "deciders") which will trigger autovoting for particular stories.
So, let's say you set user 5 as a decider. You will then need to login as that user, and vote for a couple of stories. Those stories will then get the votes.
If you don't do that for say 2 days, the module will have a LOT of votes in the backlog. So, the minute a decider votes, autovoting will will then unload all the backlog of votes on the story that the decider(s) voted on.
What the log is telling me is that there aren't any stories you want autovoting for,
Bye,
Merc.
Autovoting problem, users post but almost do not vote
Hello,
Great job, but I have a problem with autovoting.
Users post dozens of new scoops every day and I can't vote for all of them manually.
This would be even more difficult in the future if my website become famous, because most of the users don't vote for any scoop, so the autovoting doesn't work well.
Any idea how to makes the website look more active without having to vote myself thanks to the Bulk voting function to promote some stories when too many are in queue ?
Thank you for your help.
ps: am I the only one to meet this problem? sorry but my feeling is that this autovoting function would only be good for digg.com which has many voters...

Solution...
Hi,
The latest drigg has several autovoting pearls. Please look at those options. Hints: you can treat stories with more than 2 votes as "autovoted". And, you can set a user which will assign N votes from random users.
Please note that autovoting is only to boot-strap a site. You can't really keep it up for long/forever.
Merc.
Why not keeping it up for
Why not keeping it up for long? Why wouldn't it be possible to have a digg-like which would looks like there's real voters activity in it, but all votes would be fakes? I like the idea, and would like to understand how to set up such a scheme in drigg so that all I have to do is submit new scoops to the system. Some would get promoted to front page while others would stay in upcoming list until they get in the archive part of the site.
Is it possible in the current state of drigg autovoting module to setup such a system?
It is possible, but...
Hi,
It is probably possible, but sorry, I can't help you with it.
I wrote the autovoting system because I realise that sites need to bootstrap. However, I am not interested in creating a system that creates completely fake sites.
Merc.
It's a need, because people
It's a need, because people just don't vote! The users of digg-like sites are there to send in their own blog posts and if they vote for someone else's blog it is a chance less to see his own news on the front page.
That's the way it is, most site don't have users here just to use the site as it should, voting depending on the interest of the scoop. So since the concept is not working, thats why autovoting is interesting. And it would be even more interesting with a step beyond.
Sorry...
Hi,
Once again, sorry, you will need to code it yourself or pay somebody to customise it.
Merc.
third option, someone may
third option, someone may code it and share it with the rest of us :-)
it worked
it worked, thanks a lot for that insight :) and offcourse your time
Aaah.. ok that makes sense
Aaah.. ok that makes sense :)
I didnt understand that sentence and thought deciders was looking for userid's of submitters wich get automatically voted on.. :)
ok, ill check it out and see if it works!
thanks a lot!
