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.

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.

Upgrading from 0.8 -> 0.9, Advertisements
|
|

I recently ran through the upgrade from 0.8 to 0.9 on www.ie-ap.org/wwwboard and the advertising subsection seems to be broken on the new site. Just out of curiosity, I ran an install of 0.9 without dumping in the database from 0.8 and the ads sections seemed to work fine. It was only after running the database upgrade that the ads system seemed to break. Clicking on the links in the advertising section (post new ad, sumbitted ads, and so on) just spit out the same page that links to them.
Normally, I wouldn't mind just starting over from scratch, but i've already put lots of time into creating stories and little customizations here and there, and I'm not a MySQL guru, so I'd rather not this time.
I'd appreciate any guidance on this.. Thanks!

Hi, I thought I'd stop in to mention the existence of YR Fire, a scoop site I administer which has been online for about three months now.
Nothing too fancy, customization-wise. The topic is youth rights: eliminating things like the voting age, drinking age, youth curfews, and compulsory education. All comments and criticisms are most welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

I recently upgraded my site to v0.9. But I cannot get dynamic comments to work, and I cannot find any documentation available anywhere.

For a while now, K5 has been operating ok with the addition of the "wipe
ratings" button. Basically, this allows us to negate harm from people
who decide to go on a little rating vendetta and screw with someone
else. However, it's manual admin work that *should* be unnecessary
within the system. Consdering that it needs to be done, this indicates
to me that there is a problem somewhere.
The problem, at heart, is that there's not enough rating going on. If
there was a lot of rating, the system would have a lot more inertia and
be basically resistant to one person's injection of noise. The problem
right now is that there's so little signal that a little bit of noise
can cause problems.

so, i am building a new site, and i opted to run scoop as its core component, pretty sure it could do what i want. but now i am beginning to wonder if i can hack my way through this with the existing functionality or if the task will require copius programming that is far beyond my abilities.

Can anyone shed some light on how to make links to some pages i want to create within scoop?
Basically, i want to make a series of pages in a custom category (eg, 'products'). Then i want to link to them from button images.
Are the pages made as templates? And how is the path to the pages created?
Any comments appreciated!
