Getting Pligg to Auto-Fill
Getting Pligg to Auto-Fill
Late January of this year I attempted to get my Pligg install to auto populate the description of a story submitted on step 2 of the submission process.

Not So Open-Source Pligg

Don’t Share This On Digg
This has crossed my mind a few times in the past, but never gave it a lot of thought until now. There is one feature in the Pligg script that really shouldn’t be there and makes absolutely no sense.
