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

It would be nice if the comment ratings page (when you click on the score for a specific comment) had the user moderations sorted by rating. All the 5's at the top, all the 1's/0's at the bottom. Someone would just have to add an "ORDER BY" to the query.

"TITLE" attribute should be used for tootlips

Scoop uses the ALT attribute of IMG tags to display tooltips. This is a violation of the HTML spec, and is not supported by the Mozilla browser. Scoop should also use (and preferably only use) the TITLE attribute for tooltips. See Mozilla bug 25537.

Clearer Separation of Blocks?

Ever since Kuro5hin started out, I've been amazed by a lot of Scoop:s features. So much in fact that i recently started GNU-Friends, after having tweaked a lot of things to my liking. One of the things I noticed was that I thought the difference between different "Blocks" was a little, well, weird. How can this be improved?

I have two small requests for changes to the zero ratings system which should help make the system harder to abuse.

Tiny bug with URL decoding

Seems that scoop doesn't properly decode the + symbol in a URL. According to the appropriate standards, a space can be represented in a URL by either a + or a %20, and a lot of older webbrowsers actually do favor a + over %20.

Announcing the hotlist_flex box
|
|
By hillct , Section Code []

This variant of the hotlist box provides some additional functionality. It allows the user to move between three different views of the box. First, is the default hotlist view. Second, the stories hotlist view, which displays all the stories written by the user in order that they may more easily track comments made. Third, and perhaps most useful is the Replies view, which displays a dynamic list of stories having comments by the logged in user, to which there are unread replies.
The box is available for beta testing here. After I sift through any feedback I get, I'll post it to the Scoop Box Exchange. Update [2002-1-12 7:54:46 by hillct]: Version 0.2.2 has been posted to the FTP site. It incorporates Rusty's CGI parameter fix and a better method for checking logged-in status.

Scoop::Ads

Well, its finally out. Scoop::Ads version 0.1. And you get to be the beta tester! I checked in all of the changes to the cvs repository, and I updated this site first. I want your help in testing this though, as many eyes are better than 2. So read this story first, then mosey on over to the submit ad page and start advertising your scoop site! But read this story first, and don't report bugs I already know about :-)
Update [2001-12-31 16:58:43 by hurstdog]: I marked the bugs and features below that I fixed. The ad admin interface should be a little nicer now.
