I would like to talk to you about developing a WP plugin.
Plugin goal: display posts by a "score" where the first posts are sorted with the highest "score" displayed first.
Score variables:
1) IS = Initial Score = highest current score of any post;
2) PR = Post Rating;
3) DD = PD - CD = Post Date minus Current Date; and
Score constants:
1) PRC = Post Rating Constant; and
2) DC = Date Constant.
Thus, the score equation is:
Post score = (InitialScore + (PostRatingConstant * Post Rating)) - (DateConstant * DateDifference)
=
(IC + (PRC * PR)) - (DC * (PD - CD)).
For example, if the numbers are:
DC = 4;
PRC = 2;
PD = Nov. 15, 2011;
CD = Dec. 2, 20111;
PR = 10; and
IS = 70.
Then the post score =
(70 + (2 * 10)) - (4 * (Nov. 15, 2011 - Dec. 2, 2011))
(70 + 20) - (4 * 17)
70 - 68
2.
In the admin panel I should be able to change the constants:
1) PRC = Post Rating Constant; and
2) DC = Date Constant
to any number that I want.
The plugin should run reach time the Loop is run. Thus, it will run on [login to view URL] or any other post page.
This plugin does not work. But you may be able to edit it to make it work.
[login to view URL]
If you have any questions about the project, please let me know.
Once you feel that you understand the project, we can agree on a rate (all payment will be via oDesk.)
Thanks
