Hi, How to implement a website with a recommendation system similar to stackoverflow/digg/reddit? I.e., users submit content and the website needs to calculate some sort of "hotness" according to how popular the item is. The flow is as follows: Users submit content Other users view and vote on the content (assume 90% of the users only...
For my next web site I would prefer not to write everything from scratch. At the same time I don't want to be looked to much into a framework. So I would like something that I can use at all levels. Access the DB (SQL Server) directly (The DB layout should not be much more complex than a self written app) Business logic Interface com...
How does the DiggBar work? I'm trying to make an ASP.NET MVC DiggBar clone just for learning purposes and does anyone have a suggestion on how to specify the url of the content for the lower frame? How would you go about constructing that in MVC? Also, I know that it is an iFrame, but how do they position it so regardless of scrolli...

Someone has already asked, How does the DiggBar work? in a previous question. While someone provided a decent answer it didn't address one thing: How does Digg dynamically resize their iframe's height, based on the content of a site across a different domain? There are plenty of questions and answers here on SO for dynamicall...

So I'm looking for ideas on how to best replicate the functionality seen on digg. Essentially, you submit a URL of your page of interest, digg then crawl's the DOM to find all of the IMG tags (likely only selecting a few that are above a certain height/width) and then creates a thumbnail from them and asks you which you would like to rep...
Hi, There are lots of posts regarding iFrames and framesets, but I have not found one that addresses my concern: are framesets bad to use? Understanding the potential for backlash against framed websites, I want to recreate the Diggbar -- only instead of one iFrame underneath, I want two or more. This Stackflow thread offers a solutio...
In Chapter 14 of Designing Web Interfaces, authors Scott and Neil define the 'Periodic Refresh' pattern and cite Digg's DiggSpy as a canonical example. I agree that the pattern and its manifestation are excellent ways of serving real-time information to the user. I'm facing a similar challenge. I'd like javascript (and jQuery) to conti...
Hi, I'm working on the following site: http://www.fragrancecollection.com/ When I submit the site to Digg; odd characters show up in the description field. I tried forcing the character encoding to UTF-8 (which the document is saved as) via meta tags; but that did nothing. I tried replacing complex characters with simpler literals (su...
Understanding all the security and UI concerns with iFrames, I am implementing a toolbar similar to the DiggBar or FacebookBar. A top bar persists across the top 30 pixels of the screen, and an iFrame displaying external content fills up the remainder of the page. When users close the toolbar, and thereby exit my little site to go dire...
I'm trying to deal with: "Requests made from Javascript running on your web pages must be proxied to avoid same-origin policy conflicts." I know how to work with the JSON once I've got it. But aside from copy-pasting the JSON results via my browser, I don't know how to localize it for use. ...
I'm looking for a PHP tutorial or example of how to set up a facebook connect site like digg. Basically allowing local users to connect their facebook accounts to their local accounts indefinitely (until they opt out). This would then automatically reconnect them to facebook every time they log in with their local accounts. I've been tr...
Hey there, I'm looking to see if it's possible to implement a "bar" like you guys have, along with Digg, Stumble upon and other websites. I have no idea what it's even called - frameset, iframe of sorts but I can't even think of a proper title to search google.. Can you help? ...

I have to perform import-content functions from remote pages from my website using page urls provided by users. In short what digg, mixx, designfloat, etc do when we submit a story using the url. Only I have to do it with CodeIgniter. I would really appreciate if someone could please tell me the best way to do something like this within ...
I'm building a digg-like voting site for christmas greetings. I'm using wordpress and the "Vote it up" plugin. I am having alot of troubles being able to sort the vop votes within a timeframe. You can see what I mean on this site; http://wordtaps.com/ Look at the timeframe on the top right, that's exactly what I want. The site also use...
I've added a Digg button to all the items in my site. The javascript required for dynamic Digg buttons is just before my </body> close tag. <body> ... <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </body> Everything works on pages that have the dynamic Digg buttons on them, but on pages that...
I'm using an image as the submit button for a search form, i.e.: <input id="search" type="image" alt="Search" src="/images/searchButton.png" name=""/> This has an unfortunate side effect in Chrome and Firefox--the parameters &x=0&y=0 appear on the end of the search results URL, for example if I search for "food" I am directed to the ...
