[consulting] Views sorting (radioactivity + date + smthelse...)?

[Audrius Naslenas]

Thank you, Greg. I will take a look at this video.

In my case - radioactivity (node views count ONLY) is the sorting value,
which makes some nodes almost sticky at the top, because they are highly
ranked in Google results. Such ordering gives no value to loyal returning
visitors.

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but the Radioacitivity module at
http://drupal.org/project/radioactivity provides a really interesting
interface for calculating radioactivity that I found to be highly
customizable.

I did a video about it at
http://www.masteringdrupal.com/screencast/highlight-your-best-content-using-
radioactivity-module

In particular, sorting by "comment count * times node viewed" is mostly
possible with radioactivity module (not the true multiplication, of course,
but you can assign specific energy values to both events which provide
sorting).

Cheers,
Greg
