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

Top Hotlisted Box
|

Recently, on k5 there was a discussion
about disabling the Anonymous Hero. That story brought up several threads about
the advantages and disadvantags of doing so. This, however, has nothing to do
with that.
Instead, it relates to a specifc thread, in which ramses0 brought up his idea for
a top hotlisted box. Not wanting to let an opportunity for a perfectly good box
slip by, I managed to write one in about 15 minutes. The entire thing in (from
what I can tell) working form is below. Just goes to show the power of boxes in Scoop :)

Who's Online Box

For anyone that wants such a thing (and you know you do!), here's a box that displays who's currently online. Note that it's not 100% accurate or anything, it just makes the assumption that anyone thats done something in the last 30 minutes it online.
Update [2001-7-5 17:50:30 by panner]: The box has been updated. See here.
Update [2001-7-6 0:59:58 by panner]: Updated, once again. Some errors started popping up, and those led to bugs that lead back into Scoop, but I think they're all ironed out. If you've gotten this box before now, you should probably get it again.
Update [2001-7-9 23:53:31 by rusty]: The story that never ends! I've edited the box again, to respect a "cloak me" preference, and to do some totaling.

Distinguishing between comments and signatures
|

By Andrew Dvorak , Section Code []

I'm positive that this is probably the easiest request to implement, but maybe it would be a feature welcomed by the masses to be implemented in the base code.
What if user comments were to be enclosed in HTML comments that distinguish between the body of a user's comments and the user's signature.

The CPAN Scoop Install Blues.

As you will all know, Scoop is written in Perl. It also depends on a dozen or so modules from a Perl module archive called CPAN. And it's hell on installers when 3rd party modules you depend on change a little underneath you. This is my story of installing Scoop.

First, I must remind you. TINK5C, really. Except for this one, but thats beside the point. Anyway, here is the cabal_box, what it does is list every user with permissions above an Anonymous user and a regular User. The box is posted below.

Template module

Hi,
I just discovered Scoop today, and I wonder why you (developpers of Scoop) didn't choose to use a Perl Template module (like HTML::Template) to implement them.
