Hi guys, im looking for a good news script like the one on www.sabbie.co.uk homepage .......i tried that script and managed to screw it up, i want one thats easy to install and customize!

Well that site is using greymatter which can be difficult to setup. Perhaps you can try newspro (http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/52.html) . !! It's a lot simpler. ;)

Newspro is excellent. There are a few others here (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/News_Publishing/)

Good luck!

NewsPHP (http://nphp.net) get's my vote. I've used it on many occasions; it's extremely simple to install as well.

NewsPro (http://amphibianweb.com/) has been unavailabe for awhile you'll have to find another place to download it

I like News Publisher. It is easy to install and customize.

Looks like that site is using Grey Matter, never used it myself:

I believe Coranto (formerly known as NewPro) can be downloaded at: http://www.gweilo.org/coranto/ that's where I downloaded it about a month ago.

Check out Moveable type (http://www.moveabletype.org) or PMachine (http://www.pmachine.com).

I know people that use them both for news on their site - and they work very well.

They're not just for weblogs.

I'd like to second the MT suggestiong, it is a wonderful piece of software!

I like the greymatter script and I'm currently using it on http://U2audio.com

It can be a bit of a hassle to customize but well worth it.

That's my .02 cents worth. :)

They don't update Greymatter anymore, and if you post frequently, it can be a pain to rebuild entries. MT can be difficult to customize. I like pMachine and b2 (http://cafelog.com). My journal uses b2 and I only had to edit two files, very easy to maintain.
