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

A friend and I have just begun making a new Scoop site, using the build from 2/10. There are a couple of things I haven't figured out yet, and I'd appreciate the community's help.

Semi password protect scoop site

I have a location based scoop site which will be used by a small number of academic researchers, and I'd like to make it so that only individuals who are logged in can access the scoop portion of the site, effectively disabling anonymous users. I really don't want to use .htaccess files as I don't want my users to have to log in every time they use the site. I will only have a small number of users, so I'm happy to hand roll the account creation process.
What I was thinking was that:
- http://here.mydomain.edu.au is accessible to all.
- http://here.mydomain.edu.au/login.html provides a page to login to the scoop part of the site.
- All requests to http://here.mydomain.edu.au/scoop/* from non-logged in users get redirected to the login page.
I've had a look at Scoop.pm, which seems to be the place to modify the code in, but I'm really not sure where to start the modificatoin process.
I tried to post a message to scoop help several times, but was thwarted by the mailing list telling me they couldn't verify my email address, so I've posted here instead.
Thanks for any help.

I seem to have broken my topic images...

I am troubled that I can't seem to google up a solution for myself, since this is probably a newbie question. I have been going through the new admin guide and learning about scoop, but somewhere along the line I seem to have broken my topic images. However topics in general seem to be funtioning and show up in the Story Listm and the Topics section (w/ the proper icons) in the admin menu.
Just to make sure I am not overlooking something simple, he is a list of pertient vars and stuff that I have checked and seem to be set correctly:
- var use_topic set to 1
- var topics is set to /topics
- Display Prefs:Show topic images with stories? Yes
- I have added several topics but none of them seem to display, not even the original scoop.jpg
I have tried to track down the problem through the blocks. The frontpage calls the block CONTENT that seems to be a special magic block from my research. I found the section content under blocks that has story_summary, which seems to call something called topic_img to display the topic. I tried changing that to topic_text to no avail.
I have a site that works generates this HTML for the image:
A HREF="/?op=search&topic=scoop" IMG SRC="/images/topics/scoop.jpg" WIDTH="80" HEIGHT="50" ALT="Scoop" ALIGN="right" BORDER=0
Please forgive me if this is stupid.

Scoop Bugtracking

(I sent this e-mail to scoop-dev, but it seems to have gotten lost in the bowels of SourceForge's list server. I'm submitting it here because it is likely to get posted before my e-mail wends it's way thorough SF's delivery system)
As I mentioned last week, I've been setting up bugzilla on my server. It's now up and running at 'beta' quality, and configured for supporting scoop. Please have a look at it, give it thumbs up, thumbs down, or what not. Feel free to file silly bugs, if you want to get the feel for the system. janra has even filed a few semi-serious ones already.

All of the administrative and feature setup sections are complete. The only section that is still incomplete is the "Extending Scoop" (aka "hacking") section. There's even a FAQ, and despite the fact that I'm calling it "done" with the rest of the guide, it can always use more questions that are likely to be asked. The Admin Guide is in the top menu over there ---->

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 :-)
