Pligg review
After the mis-happenings with newscloud platform, I have decided to take a look into Pligg. It is based purely on digg and has customisable interface and supports multiple skins. I was really impressed. Although there are not too much modules, the system is quite capable, interface is nice. After looking into code, I was confirmed that it is very nicely built - there is proper separation between designs, seo and templates.
Still, there are couple of points that could be better:
1. Title formating rules are fixed - one needs to look in 10+ files to change it.
2. Configuration editing is hard to understand when there is no difference between clickable and unclickable area (except the mouse-over).
3. The url rewrite does not work without manual changing .htaccess in some cases.
4. Default template is not valid + it tends to use php inserts, what is kinda not nice.
Anyway, I was really impressed and I like that software.
