Time for an Update

Well I have done several cvs commits. But the real big one is coming soon! Right now you can see my current code, which works PERFECTLY (or so I assume) with nodes. It is still very basic but it will and can recommend only certain types of nodes (i.e. story, or page, or whatever you want) and it can recommend the best nodes no matter the type.

It also has a function that recommends items that are similar to the current node.

This is how it is set up.... There is a basic api backend (called cre.module). It handles all the sql commands and the alogrithm itself (slope one, see previous posts). But in order to display content to the user, another module must be used. In this case, node_recommendation.module. This module plugs into the api and recommends (you guessed it) nodes. Eventually, there will be comment_recommendation.module, user_recommendation.module etc.

Still brainstorming for a solution to this problem: How to make good recommendations to a user that only votes on what he/she doesn't like. I have to pull some other information from somewhere. Just not sure where 'somewhere' is. One idea is SNA SoC project. But not sure on how to use it just yet, and it still has awhile to go before I can start to utilize it.
