We have been fortunate that 1.0.3 has proven to be a fairly stable and bug free release, and because of that we have not posted a follow up version as quickly as we have done in the past. Last night I took some time to consider what features Pligg needs most, resulting in a roadmap for our next two releases.
I can remember several users in the past asking if it was possible to export user data from Pligg into Excel. It was an interesting idea, and it seemed especially useful for people who needed a simple way to export user email addresses to use for email campaigns. This tutorial provides a very simple PHP script for Pligg that will export user data that is being stored in the MySQL database into a Microsoft Excel document.
Pligg becomes a place where brainstorms can be propelled or quelled in an instant by the type of voting and ranking system that has made Digg such a hit among consumers.
