What is Scoop
|
Scoop is a "collaborative media application". It falls somewhere between a
content management system, a web bulletin board system, and a weblog.
Scoop is designed to enable your website to become a community. It empowers
your visitors to be the producers of the site, contributing news and discussion,
and making sure that the signal remains high.

Where can I get Scoop
|
|
You can download the latest release tarball: scoop_1.1.8.tar.gz
You can grab the nightly build. Note: This is generated automatically from the current CVS, and may not be reliable! Get that here: scoop-1.1-nightly.tar.gz
The developers strongly recommend CVS as the primary way to obtain Scoop, since releases tend to have pretty long delays between them. If you have CVS installed, do the following:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop co scoop
The above is two commands; each one must be on a single line. When prompted for a password for anonymous, enter 'anonymous' (without the quotes). For more CVS info, "Open Source Development with CVS" is an excellent online reference.

Where can I get help
|
|
There are several sources of information and support for Scoop. The first place to look is the scoop-help mailing list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. If you want to post a question, joining the list is strongly recommended. You can also join the #scoop IRC channel on SlashNET.
For documentation, there is the (largely complete) Scoop administrator's guide. You can also read the current
README and
INSTALL files, from Scoop WebCVS (username and password are both "anonymous"). The admin guide is also included with Scoop, in the doc/ directory.
If you have new feature ideas or requests, or descriptions of something you're working on for Scoop, this site is the place to submit them. You can also search this site for information. If you want to get your hands dirty, or have any questions about developing for Scoop, there is also the Scoop-dev list. You can browse the archives, or join the list.
Bug reports and patches should be filed on the Scoop Bug Muncher.
If you have any problems with this site or your user account, e-mail the Admin

Getting parameters in 'story_summary'

I am trying to move some of the changes that I've made to the scoop code into boxes so that I can move my site to a scoop host.
I'm at an impasse, however. I am trying to modify the topic_img tag inside the story_summary block so I've replaced it with a box that does the same thing with one major difference: I cannot get the tid so I can check whether or not it is a diary story. I've tried adding my $story=shift; and I've looked through the code in lib/Scoop. I can't seem to find a $S->somthingarouther that will return the tid or even the section. Any thoughts?

Updated hotlist_flex box

I've done some changes to the hotlist_flex box from the SBE.
1. To make it actually work with the changes to the story table.
2. Steal k5's "Clear all" and "Clear user" functions.
3. Sort it in name order
4. Speed the diary hotlist up a bit. This was doing at least one query for every user on the hotlist. I've changed it to do only one query.
Update [2003-12-11 23:8:16 by Mostly Harmless]: applied a patch from hulver so if the box is now broken, it's probably my fault :-)

Rotating sigfiles.

In most of my favourite email clients, I have multiple sigfiles set up so that when a message is sent, I get to randomly add one of the predefined sigfiles to the email message. I'd like similar functionality for scoop.

Some comments that have just been archived still have links from the user's comment ratings page. However, because the comments are now in the archive, they show up as blank comments.

SQL statements for some usage statistics

As a scoop admin, you might be interested to see how your users are using your site. I wrote these SQL statements to check up on the users on my site, but I thought perhaps there might be some general interest from other admins, so here are some SQL statements that you can try out yourself.

RDF language unsettable...

There was a lack of flexibility in Scoop 0.9 on RDF language. Specificly, Scoop 0.9 don't have a way to set the language in the RDF feed.

Text Ads in Story Text

I don't know if this has been proposed, and my half-arsed search didn't turn anything up, but here's the deal. I love text ads. I think the idea of having a second class of text ads in the body of a story is a great revenue machine. However, when there is little or no Full Text (i.e., the whole story is in the intro copy), it looks disjointed and out of place. Likewise, I'd be miffed if I spent money on an ad that got little or no impression because there was no article surrounding it. Could we perhaps implement a code so that there has to be a minimum word count to trigger the ad?

Dynamic Topics Page

This is somewhat trivial, but it's my first box hack for a dynamic topics page.
