Drigg is a powerful Drupal module that allows you to create Digg and Pligg-like web sites.

Unlike other Drupal-based solutions, Drigg only has two dependencies:

• simple_karma -- a powerful karma module Drigg is based on. simple_karma was written by the same author as Drigg, Tony Mobily


• Pathauto -- a contributed Drupal module. Note that Drigg doesn't actually use this module's functionalities! It simply "borrows" a function from it to generate good URL names form article titles.

• Flexible voting. The module allows you to pick from 4 different voting forms: select box, select box with negative votes only, up/down, up only (ala Digg)


• Easy, easy theming. The example theme provided is based on zen. Drigg provides bot the original zen theme, and the "modified" version. It's very easy to spot the differences. To create your own theme, you can either customise the zen theme, or pick another starting theme and apply the differences (for example, you will need to place the voting form for scoops and comments)


• STRONG separation between code and theme. Unlike other systems, Drigg separates the module's logic and the presentation very carefully.


• Plays well with Drupal. You can set Drigg as your home page, or you can decide not to do that. This means that Drigg will play well with your existing web sites.


• Good code, easy bug fixing. Feel free to browse through the source: it's neat, extremely well commented, and tidy. THismeans that finding bugs is easier.


• Flexible voting. You can have N different voting forms for the same scoop. After voting, the others will grey out. This means for example that you can have a UP/DOWN form for a scoop, and then underneath a "select - negative values only" voting form for the same scoop.


• Flexible as hell. Drigg is just amazingly flexible. While it has fully working defaults, it allows you to customise it immensely.


• The power of Drupal. Drupal is a fantastic CMS. Once the system is setup, you will be able to install and use other Drupal modules as you like


• Automatic votingYou can set a number of users as the "bosses", and other users as "slaves". The system will make sure that the "slaves" assign a random number of votes to the nodes voted by the "bosses". This will make it easier to startup your site without becoming schizophrenic :-D


• Automatic role assignment.You can assign roles to people according to their karma amount, and (more importantly) to their karma ranking.
