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

A friend and I have just begun making a new Scoop site, using the build from 2/10. There are a couple of things I haven't figured out yet, and I'd appreciate the community's help.

I seem to have broken my topic images...

I am troubled that I can't seem to google up a solution for myself, since this is probably a newbie question. I have been going through the new admin guide and learning about scoop, but somewhere along the line I seem to have broken my topic images. However topics in general seem to be funtioning and show up in the Story Listm and the Topics section (w/ the proper icons) in the admin menu.
Just to make sure I am not overlooking something simple, he is a list of pertient vars and stuff that I have checked and seem to be set correctly:
- var use_topic set to 1
- var topics is set to /topics
- Display Prefs:Show topic images with stories? Yes
- I have added several topics but none of them seem to display, not even the original scoop.jpg
I have tried to track down the problem through the blocks. The frontpage calls the block CONTENT that seems to be a special magic block from my research. I found the section content under blocks that has story_summary, which seems to call something called topic_img to display the topic. I tried changing that to topic_text to no avail.
I have a site that works generates this HTML for the image:
A HREF="/?op=search&topic=scoop" IMG SRC="/images/topics/scoop.jpg" WIDTH="80" HEIGHT="50" ALT="Scoop" ALIGN="right" BORDER=0
Please forgive me if this is stupid.

Scoop, mod_perl, and mod_php
|
|
By mcelroyj , Section Help! []
Posted on Sat Nov 15, 2003 at 12:00:00 PM PST

Through a good deal of chicanery and magic, I managed to compile mod_php and mod_perl on my RedHat box. I also managed to reconfigure scoop so that my stats software (awstats) would be correctly executed as a cgi application.
Of course, this would all be simple, but I am hosting a second site, through virtual hosting, and it needs to run php. For some reason, the site only serves static HTML files, I cannot get a cgi or php to serve data. The cgi files display as text, and the php files prompt for download.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to display an RDF feed that can't be edited

Can anyone advise me how I'd set up an RDF_feeds box that users couldn't edit? I want to have several feeds that users can't edit/remove on my Scoop site, The Edge City Chronicle, which would be displayed separately from the main RDF_feeds_flex block on the site. Has anyone set up something along these lines, and might be able to provide any insight/guidance/code?

I have lots of submitted stories 'n such now (several a day), but I don't have much commenting/feedback going on so the actual discussion is weak. Where should I start if I wanted to mandate a ratio of comment posts to submitted stories? Any other ways to spice things up?

Bleeding edge Gentoo semi-success story

I seem to finally have gotten everything to work under Apache2, Modperl 2 and perl 5.8.1... Everything so far except one wierd thing. Logging out does not work. The error log gives me something like this:
[Tue Oct 07 07:15:13 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] Can't locate object meth
od "header_out" via package "Apache::RequestRec" at (eval 28) line 10.
, referer: http://scoop.myserver.net/
I changed the referer URL because the site is not yet solid enough to recieve visitors. The problem seems to kill mod_perl, though I can't state that as a fact.
From reading elsewhere (and I'm no Perl coder), I found that apparently, 'header_out' is obsolete in mod_perl-2 and 'headers_out' should be used instead. I don't really know what that means or implies, but I figured it could provide clues for someone who does know Perl and is faced with this problem.
I'll try to come back with more details later if anyone is interested.

I've just migrated not only from one sql server to another, but between scoop versions. There must be a better way than how I went about it.
