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

What seems to be a feature, but is currently not entirely implemented (or maybe reserved for admins), can still be accessed by anyone. It involves setting up initial values for poll options.
Aside from that, it's just another bug report from the self-proclaimed GETbitch.

I think there's a bug in K5's polling. It appears that you can vote in a poll during the moderation phase and then vote again once the story passes out of the submission queue.

Plain Text Comment Bug

Selecting "Plain Text" to format your comments without regard for html no longer adds <br> tags to newlines. No HTML is parsed either (as is expected) so it just ends up being a blob of entirely unformatted text.

It was annoying that as of now, the only way to find out the number of posts to a story in the moderation process, is to actually go to the story , following the link from the queue list.
In this post, I submit a patch to show the comments status in the moderation story list itself.

"Post As" hack
|
|
By Mystic , Section Code []

To make the scoop UI more usefriendly, I suggest that the "Post as" drop-down not be displayed at all if Anonymous post is not allowed on a scoop system. If this is allowed (as it is now), it looks a bit ridiculous because you have a dropdown box, but nothing to choose from.

K5 Section Stories Box

Prompted by a request on #kuro5hin, here is the code that creates the left-hand "Section Stories" box on K5. The code follows, feel free to cut and paste. For the template, I use a block called "sec_story_box", which is just the basic container HTML.
I hope that if people have done clever things with output, they'll also post boxes here, so we can all share them. Note the "Boxes" topic. :-)
