Here at Social CMS Buzz we originally reported that the Upcoming Drupal Module titled Drigg would be released on the 21st December, after a code structure re-write to utilize the Drupal Voting API instead of Tony’s own Simple Karma Module Drigg is finally confirmed for release on the 30th December 2007.

Drigg is a drupal module that allows anyone to create a social voting site with similar features to Digg.com.

drigg-code.org
It took me a little longer than expected because I decided to change QUITE DRASTICALLY Drigg’s underlying structure, so that it used the VotingAPI.

This meant making the simple_karma module obsolete, and actually dividing simple_karma into 3 different modules (the voting forms, the user karma and the comment promoting modules).

I rolled out Drigg 1.0. FSDaily us now using Drigg/VoringAPI, and… it works!

I just wanted to let you know that Drigg 1.0 will be out on the 30th of December.
This means two things:

1) The file drigg_distr.tgz will be finally finished and working properly; the installation instructions on the site will be updated as well
2) The Drupal modules will be released formally

Drigg will come with a nice theme, easy to customise.

Drigg is a highly anticipated module for drupal that shows a lot of promise, the effort placed into the project in such a short period of ime alone is an outstanding achievement. We will have a full review of Drigg when it is released.
