LFE fileplanet: sort by rating / popularity / newest

[Silverthorn]

Okay, so, I took a look into the depths of the mainsite. After a few hours of looking, I have come to the conclusion that the page is generated according to this list:

1. User requests a url
   
2. Parameters get parsed and checked for validity
   
3. A ritual is performed in which a virgin is sacrificed to the evil demons of hell
   
4. Satan himself presents the answer to the query
   
5. The website is generated with the newly acquired infos

On a more serious note, this thing is a piece of magic. I have absolutely no clue how it works. Personally, I'd love to add the rating to the columns. However, the vote-part comes from a plugin. This makes it hard to generate content that is based on the internal database tables as well as the plugin's table. The SQL-query would be fairly easy to write but I really don't know where and how it is actually parsed, unfortunately. Sorry, but I'll have to postpone this to a much more later date (in case it ever happens)


As for your second point, I get forced to provide links at every menu entry. That is why this is made like the way it is (pretty sure that my English teacher would've lapidated me for that sentence). If you have an idea how to circumvent it in a way that it still doesn't look too forced, please tell me so!

Off-topic suggestion: I think it would be smart if you'd add it to the news section when a new modification comes out.

Eh, I guess I could do that. I just always feel like the news articles are too important for simple content-uploads... :/
If you request it though, I'll try to remember it for next time!
