Dear Scott, Just thought I would send some encouragment. I recently upgraded scoop and had very few problems. There is still lots of html in the code so I had to go through and get rid of all the width statements in the tables (I try to use css for formating and the width statements tend to mess things up). The only real problem I had was that the special pages admin tool went blank. I used the update-db.pl script, but it didn't catch it. I found why it went missing here: http://lists.kuro5hin.org/pipermail/scoop-help/2006-March/002380.html To fix the problem I had to add some new blocks which I will paste below. Sincerely, Kel For each of the following you can put each item in the admin category: name: special_edit_delete theme: default value: <input type="checkbox" name="delete" value="1" /> Delete this page<br /> description: Delete page line for Special page edit form. name: special_edit_form theme: default value: <form name="special" action="|rootdir|/admin/special" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div class="title">Edit Special Pages</div> <div class="error">|msg|</div> <div>|preview|</div> <div> <b>Page:</b> |page_list| <input type="submit" name="get" value="Get Page" /> <br /><br /> <b>Page ID:</b><br /> <input type="text" name="pageid" value="|pageid|" size="25" /> <br /><br /> <b>Title:</b><br /> <input type="text" name="title" value="|title|" size="40" /> <br /><br /> <b>Description:</b><br /> <textarea cols="50" rows="3" name="description" wrap="soft">|description|</textarea> <br /><br /> <b>Content:</b><br /> <textarea cols="50" rows="25" name="content" wrap="soft">|content|</textarea><br /> |upload_page| <br /><br /> <b>Options:</b><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="direct_link" value="1"|directlink_checked| /> Create direct page link (i.e. http://example.com/pageid)<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="html_check" value="1"|chkhtml_checked| /> Check the HTML of this page<br /> |spellcheck| |delete| <br /><br /> <input type="submit" name="write" value="Save Page"> <input type="reset" /> </div> </form> description: The special page editing form. <p> Keys: <ul> <li> |msg|: For error or success messages <li> |preview|: When looking at a page, the view page link.
