Build A Digg Clone With Drigg For Drupal – Part 2 Installing And Configuring Drupal And Drigg
Additional Module Configuration.
Configure The Extra Voting Forms Module
Goto the URL below.
http://yoursite.com/admin/settings/extra_voting_forms
Look for “Node types that will accept karma:” tick the Scoop option here.
Look for “Link sections” then Look for “Display the karma form in the links section of a node” and untick this option, this stops the little vote button showing on the teaser next to the comment link. There really is no need for this button as the large vote button is already present for the article.
There are lots of other option you can configure here but for now goto the Save Configuration button at the bottom of the page.

Okay thats all you modules configured for basic use next we will activate the drig theme and set drigg as you sites homepage.
Change To The Default Drigg Theme
Goto The URL Below
http://yoursite.com/admin/build/themes
Look for drigg_theme and enable it and set to Default, goto bottoom of the page and Cclick Save Configuration. You should now see the default Drigg theme has been activated.
Now we need to set Drigg as The hompage of your site.
Goto the URL below.
http://yoursite.com/admin/settings/site-information
Look for “Default front page:” it should by default say node change this to “drigg_home” without the quotes. Now click save configuration.
As a final step we need to set submitted “Scoops” content not to be promoted to the mainpage by default.
Goto the URL below.
http://yoursite.com/admin/content/types/drigg
Look for Workflow and make sure the option “Promoted to front page” is unticked this is very important. The image below shows how it should look.
We know it’s been a long journey and we are almost at it’s end but we still have a few other little steps to complete like giving users the correct access to the system, and a few other minor tweaks so lets finish this of on page 5.
