We have converted our site, cyclismo.org over to scoop from geeklog. It was surprisingly easy to convert over and was able to copy the stories over with no problems. There were only four issues that came up during the installation of scoop and all are relatively minor.
|
- In the file lib/Scoop/Stories/Elements.pm on line 1021. We found it useful to have the sid available for the navbar block and added this line:
$navkeys->{'sid'} = $sid;
- In the file lib/Scoop/Stories/Elements.pm on line 144. We wanted the topic icons to be left justified so we had to change the align option on this line. It would have been really nice to have this as an option in the database rather than hardcoded. (Of course now the icons do not appear in internet explorer browsers. Fortunately, nobody really uses that, do they?)
- The perl module Date::Calc is not listed in the README file. This module is necessary and should be added to the README file.
- We are using FreeBSD. It would be nice to have the location of the various perl modules listed with respect to their ports. Here are all the modules that we used as ports:
textproc/expat
databases/p5-DBI
databases/p5-DBD-mysql
security/p5-Digest-MD5
www/p5-Apache-DBI
www/p5-Apache-Test
devel/p5-Class-Singleton
security/p5-Crypt-UnixCrypt
mail/p5-Mail-Sendmail
devel/p5-String-Random
textproc/p5-XML-Parser
devel/lwp
security/p5-Crypt-CBC
security/p5-Crypt-Blowfish
textproc/p5-XML-RSS
devel/p5-Time-modules
textproc/p5-Text-Aspell
textproc/aspell
textproc/aspell-dict
security/p5-Crypt-SSLeay
www/p5-libapreq
devel/p5-Date-Calc
To have this list available in the README file would have saved some time.
On the whole, though, it was a very easy install. More importantly formatting the site and making changes is much easier than working with geeklog. Also, the organization is intuitive, and it has been fairly straightforward finding things. Great work y'all!
