Just set up the favorites module on my group site the other day and so far, so good.  Or I should say, so far, so great.  Very nice.

One thing that might be nice is if the favorites:author_rank tags had a way of excluding a person’s own entries from the count.  Naturally, some of my own entries on my site end up being some of my favorites, and are selected with the module.  But when it comes time to generate the list of authors and their rankings, it seems like it might be more accurate, at least on a group site like mine, if an author’s own entries were omitted from the overall count.  Does that make sense?

Probably not a workable idea, but I just thought I’d throw it out there.

What about using the member_id or username parameters?

or

I knew I wasn’t explaining it clearly enough.  I haven’t tried it, but doesn’t your suggestion exclude a member altogether from the list?  I wouldn’t want to exclude a member altogether, but only those results where the member_id matches the author of the entry that has been chosen as a favorite.

Let’s say I have chosen 10 favorites.  4 of them are entries written by me, with the other 6 by other members.  What I’d be looking for then is some way for the author_rank to return a total for me of 6, rather than 10.  The same would apply to the other members, where their results would be reduced in all instances where they chose their own entry as a favorite.

The more I say it, the more impossible it seems like this would be to accomplish.

Ok, I see now…

So basically, have an option for the List to NOT show Favorites that are the own authors entries, which were added as favorites by the author himself? :D

I’ll submit this as a feature request

Yes, that’s it.  How you said it in one sentence I’ll never know.

Thanks.

Haha, I struggled :D

The site I’m trying to use it for has a rule that every entry must be only one sentence long, so I can appreciate the struggle all the more.
