WordPress Digg-Like Voting System Plugin

I just found out about BuddyPress (a collection of plugins that convert a WordPress MU install into a social network) and now I was wondering if there are any Digg-like voting plugins for WordPress. This would eventually integrate into a BuddyPress website, where the site members would submit, vote and comment on stories (much like Digg).

I have a feeling I will end up having to build this from scratch, but since the site will be built on WordPress, I was wondering if there were any plugins already available that add this functionality. So far I have come up empty in my search. I did find a WordPress blog that had this functionality WpVote. It even creates thumbnails of the story webpage automatically (I’m assuming) using websnapr. I browsed through the page source and didn’t seem to find any hints of a WP plugin that they are using.

  1. I’ve successfully used TDO Mini Forms for user submissions combined with Vote it up to build a digg-style site.

    You can create a “top votes” page using the MostVotedAllTime_Widget() function from Vote it up, or use the SortVotes() or GetVoteArray() functions to build and style your own top votes list in a customised page template.

    You’ll find the full list of available functions in /vote-it-up/votingfunctions.php

    is a premium theme I’ve come across but never used. It’s a WP version of Digg and I believe pretty good.

    Personally I use Drigg which is a Drupal version of Digg. See it in action here: http://weblinks.myfriendshotel.com Unfortunately, however, WebSnapr have just changed their code so the site is no longer showing thumbanails but hopefully as a ‘non-programmer’ I’ll find a solution soon…
