Hi All,
I'm looking for a news script where I am able to post just an excerpt of the news on the front page and then the full article on a separate page. Sort of like this:

http://www.bgclubspringfield.org

On the right side they have "Special Events" each little bit of info includes a link to more info. The "more info" link brings up another page with the full story. I would like to do this but on the fly like NewsPro.

Is there such a thing?

I'm trying to do this for our Boys & Girls Club. It will be very usefull so I don't have to be doing all the HTML and somebody who does not know much or even the kids are able to update the site fairly easily.

Thanks in advance.

there are ALOT of small but well-developed scripts that can do exactly what you want...

ProSam - I am sure NewsPro allows you to have news, then a full story section linking from your main page.

There is also the new version of NewsPro out, can't remember what it's called begins with a C :rolleyes:

You would be best off with a PHP/MySQL solution, see the links alpha posted above :)

My site uses vBulletin as a backend for the news :)
