Hi,

I'm looking for some free news/article content management system software. Software like PHP-Nuke, Slashcode,etc. are basically aimed at creating a system where news are posted and people post comments.
I'm looking at a system where the main focus on article management (means, articles are posted - thats it), and no or minimal need for user comments,etc. It should facilitate article management and organization. Frequently posted "news" is not required.
I know this can be achived by using PHP-Nuke and customizing it, but is there any such system already available?

Thanks.

Try .. ezPublish @ http://publish.ez.no .. so far I think they're the best. It supports template which will make it easier for you to change the look and feel of you site without changing the php code.

The only draw back to their scripts is that you will need a certain setting on your web server and your php module. But if you have a dedicated server .. that shouldn't be a problem.

If you're looking for straight article management/orginzation, I'd look at YAAPI (http://xhawk.net/). I've used it on several sites and it's quite easy to use.

YAAPI is an API that is easy to implement. You basically setup categories of news/stories and then post the articles to the various categores.

I have found one small glitch in it. You must insert a category into the database (via mysql client or phpMyAdmin etc.) before the admin interface will work.

If you need any help setting it up/using it, please feel free to contact me.

its pretty nifty.. very basic..

its called "news"

of course you can write a very simple one with perl which ads the titles and dates in one file and keeps track of the content on the other..

thats if you dont have database support

Hy,

i've written a very basic news system a few weeks/months ago. It's really basic, only one user and no comments on the news (but i think this is not really hard work to add)

Contact me if you like to get a copy.
