PHP News script

[Vivi Ornitier]

I'm not sure which forum to put this in but i've been tryin to find a decent news editor script for my site and the only one i've come across is fusionphp. I'm just wonderin if any of you guys know of good scripts off hand. But please dont' say goto hotscripts.com or something like that and search for it because i've done that and it's too tedious and i always end up with crappy scripts that dont' work.

If youa re talking about eternal ones, though Coranto is perl based, it is a pretty decent script.

Fusionphp is pretty cool too.

if you know php you could make your own

[DrkFusion]

Or that :) Its pretty easy, or pull straight from your forumns :)

[Vivi Ornitier]

hahaha mr e, much easier said than done on that one.

[DrkFusion]

Why? It is pretty easy is it not?

i actually made a ghetto, non mysql one, that was hard, a mysql one shouldn't be too complicated

[Vivi Ornitier]

to make one is pretty simple but i mean i want some good features. I could easily make a news script that u can add stuff but then there's templates, mysql storage and all that crap to worry about. The site's enough dealin wit . . . the news script should just be convenience. Like www.ffonline.com, there news script . . . sheesh, dont' know where they got it from or if they made it of whatever.

There Article wouldn't seem fit if multiple users(Staff) will make multiple articles, as there script indentifies the article by date, so if 2 staff members posted at the same time, then what?

Also why do all these final fantasy site now use similar color schemse to Final Fantasy Republic

Yes and there site looks very nice, especially the news, you can do this same thing with vBulletin may I add, even do there way of showing headlines, and then linking to the actual news. You can do this with vBulletin, and achieve THE EXACT detail.

Since you can program, I can help you out with how it would work to get you started.

Make a new file called news.php all it will do is pull the thread title, date (and convert the date) and pull certain ammount of text of the post) then link to say news.php?article=id id being the same id as the thread, then in the code you would pull the info from the database of the threadid and post. Voila!

Very Easy :bunny:
