Kevin back again, taking on task #12

Quoting the Original GHOP Issue,

Create a module listing the most popular articles.
Describe the task.

Create a module modeled after mod_mostread that displays the top N articles
from a specific set of sections and categories with the highest rating.

Not much to say... should be done with this one quickly!

Google Task

Task claimed: Dec 12 Due: Jan 2

[me=AmyStephen]Changed subject slightly for sorting all threads to match against Google resource  [/me]

[AmyStephen]

You go, Kevin! 

[Kevin8020]

Alright, this one was a bit easier... because I could do an installer instead of a zip-thing...

Package attached. If someone could confirm that the installer works and the articles show up, that would be great

[Kevin8020]

Poke?

Kevin - works perfectly - looks great - it's a great social networking piece - it's going to see some action.

I'll get a second judge's opinion on this and see if we can cut you loose.

Now, if you choose to take another task, I hope your eyes fall towards the bottom of the list where you will notice the word "Advanced."

Let's see what you got, hmm?

You do good work. I accept this task as complete. Thanks for your contributions to the Joomla! community!

I'm going to go scan the list for my next task... haha. Thanks

Also, I went ahead and registered this as a JoomlaCode project just for fun.

And it's up on JoomlaCode as well: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/highestrated/

OK - Kevin - you are cleared for take off. Post at Google and find something to keep you busy!

Thanks - see you soon!

Oh, by the way, I've been meaning to ask you: exactly what is "extra credit?"

[AmyStephen]

A factor in determining the overall winner. Going beyond expectation. That kind of thing. 

[Kevin8020]

Gotcha - thx.

[AmyStephen]

Don't forget to post your code on the Google site, too.

[Kevin8020]

One step ahead of you... who was ahead of me... HAHA
