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

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?

Our old board (running WebBBS) was getting 80-100 posts per day, had no topics, and was impossible to search effectively. And we wanted to combine our Magnets board and Weird Science boards (also WebBBS) with our big renewable energy one.

I got Scoop installed. Took forever. Finally found my main prob was that I didnt have the msyql-devel and apache-devel libraries.
So got it installed, but nothing is happening.Im using RH7.3 with a location based install.
Dude! wheres the html files? Whats the path? Do I need to make a symbolic link somewhere?
I tried myscoopsite.com/scoop-0.9/ as well.I have the Include in the httpd.conf with no errors. I dont have errors anywhere. Im sure Im missing something simple. I went to the irc channel for scoop but No one ever talks to me in irc for some reason.

With some help from the people on #scoop, OnRoad has entered strongly into a healthy infancy. A collaborative Automotive Engineering Journal, it has drawn some attention already. With articles on hot-rod mods as well as engineering theory and ideas to increase fuel efficiency, I'm very pleased with the results so far.

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