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

Odd clock behavior

I searched the site for this problem, and didn't find it. Basically, here's what happens:
- If the var time_zone in site controls is set to GMT, the comments all have the correct time (assuming the users sets their time zone correctly as well).
- If the var time_zone in site controls is set to PST (where the server actually is), the Stories all have the correct time (assuming the users sets their time zone correctly as well).

My personal website has been moved over to scoop. If you are interested in how Scoop could be used for a less blog-oriented CMS, check it out.

I am wanting to redisplay stories based on popularity but use the Scoop code to display it so that all the formatting/security remains. I already have the sql statement, I just need to know where to edit so I can use it.

Proposal to propose implementing "dump it" voting for edit queue

It has come to light that scoop's edit queue is severely lacking in one key area: writing a proposal to ask Rusty to implement a "dump it" voting mechanism for the edit queue.

mini-HOWTO install scoop on a server without root access

I've noticed a few postings where people have asked if you can install
scoop on a machine without root access. The answer is typically "No",
which is not always correct: I have managed to set up scoop
in a machine where I do not have root access after tweaking some
of the code. Following is a set of my notes on how to accomplish this.
They are not particularily well organized, but if you have some
familiarity with Perl, Apache, and MySQL, you should be able to
cobble something together.

Yep, I finally made the switch. hackerheaven.org is now a scoop site. I couldn't get it to work om apache2, but I set up another apache on another machine, and it's kinda up and running now.
It's a bit in flux, but things are pretty stable. Drop by and say hello!

I would like the users to be able to change their own stories after posting. Is that possible without letting them change all stories?

Has anyone compiled this on OSX 10.2?
CPAN just doesn't want to cooperate in the install.pl script... if anyone has any tip on how to get this running on OSX, it would be great..
Thanks
