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

CVS vs. pre6 tarball

After playing with scoop for a bit, I've noticed quite a few patches and boxes posted here on scoop.kuro5hin.org, as well as discussion here and on the list about various bugs. How much of this stuff makes it into CVS? Is the CVS code stable? Is scoop close to a new release? Is it better to use the pre6 tarball and comb the website for various patches, or to keep up with CVS?

Somewhat in response to my previous anouncement (see K5 comment) I'm pleased to announce that, after much travail and on this first day of the new millenium, there is a source code release of "drupal" available under terms of GNU General Public License (GPL). Drupal is a content management and discussion engine written from scratch (using PHP) for drop.org and hence suitable to setup a news-driven community or portal site just like Scoop, PHP-Nuke, ThatWare, Slash, SIPS and so on.
The source code of the first release candidate for version 1.00 is available at:

HOWTO: create a new opcode without writing any code

The title doesn't sound too exciting, but I think this is a pretty useful technique. I am writing this little tutorial in the hopes that it will encourage more people who dont' necessarily have that much coding experience to hack Scoop. Thanks to a combination of new features, especially boxes and templates, it is really easy to add all kinds of new functionality to Scoop from within the web-admin interface. I'm going to walk through the steps requried to add an online help system, which is something I've wanted to do for a while, anyway.

In addition to sections and topics, I would like to see something else implemented in Scoop, discussion boards. These would differ from stories in several ways:
- No story, but a description of the board instead
- Automatic comment paging, with 100 threads per page
- Defaults: nested, sort by date - independently set from story defaults

Two Boxes: "comment_controls" and "show_comment_raters"

Two boxes for ya, one brand new, the other updated. The first is the one that actually lets people see who rated each comment what. The second is an update to comment_controls which lets it work properly from op=comments pages as well as op=displaystory.

Despite my silence around here (or perhaps because of it!) I have been at work tweaking Scoop stuff lately. The summary is, there's a new scoop.sql file in CVS, there have been a bunch of bugfixes in how cid links work, and of course, the ratings info is now visible. Read on for more info.

Enhancements to Review Hidden Comments page

I've just become a Trusted User (on k5), and earnt the right to Review Hidden Comments. I suspect I have got
to the part of Kuro5hin which is relatively unexplored and unused. I think it could do with some
modifications. This article contains my suggestions for making the Review Hidden Comments interface easier to
use and hence more popular. Hopefully the consensus obtained from this item will be taken into account by the Powers That Be.
