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

I'm in the process of installing the latest stable release of scoop on one of my servers for a client. Everything seams to have installed corerctly however an error occours whenever accessing the site. All that is in the error log is "[error] Can't call method "prepare" without a package or object reference at /webserver/scoop-0.8.1/lib/Scoop/DB.pm line 65 during global destruction." I've been banging my head on this one for nearly 5 hours and haven't been able to hack together a solution.
Thanks.

After an embarrassingly long time of trying to install the nightly build of scoop (I'd rather not say just how long ;), something occurred to me: This time, it might not be just my newbieness at fault.

I have an account on HostRocket.com. It's a shared hosting server. Is there any way to set up a Scoop site without root access?

I have been debating whether or not to use subsections on my site. I have already done away with topics since they are more or less useless. However they did provide one feature that just having a half dozen sections can't, they told the user a bit more about the story and where to find other similar stories. This, quite clearly, was the purpose of subsections. But subsections provide their own unique problem, how do you display them?
After talking with people in #scoop I have come up with a few ideas but I don't see any of them as perfect and I wonder if anybody else has some better ideas.

Ever wanted to be a Scoop admin? I've got a Scoop site to give away. Seriously.
I registered the domain practicalunix.com about a year ago with grand intentions, most of which you can read about here. I've had no time to develop it, though.

Problems running Scoop

Hello all.
I recently completed a Scoop install that went (more or less, mostly less) smoothly. The schemas were created correctly and the code appears to be in the right place.
Unfortunately, after including the httpd-<mysite>.conf file in my local Apache's httpd.conf, I cannot access the site. I get a 403 error and the only thing that shows up in my logs is the confirmation of the 403 error and an error message stating "cannot read directory for multi". I know that this is a content negotiation issue, and I believe that this is an error in locating the scoop directory but after both RTFM and RTFW, I can not seem to find either a precedent or a solution to this. I would be grateful for any help that you guys might be able to give me.

I'm still new to perl hacking and I'm probably way over my head. Nevertheless, I am going to attempt to add a limit to "one story per user" to the mod queue. Naturally, I have no idea whatsoever on where a few things lie and how to use them :)
