Hello, In search of a good news system, I've come across a lot of extra features that I don't need. All I need is a form to enter information, password protected, and to have that form post on the front page of my Web site. The ability to post attachments and pictures would be nice, but not required. Scripts like CuteNews seem to do the trick, but I'm looking for a script that most importantly, I can include in my index.php. Is this possible? If anybody could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.
You can include cutenews in your index.php easily, infact that's the only way it works. you just have to put it like in anypage you want like <?PHP include("CUTENEWS/show_news.php"); ?> Code (markup): and that is it, you can control it's layout from admin panel of cutenews. Btw i recommend you use the free cutenews from http://www.cutenewsru.com/ not the original one from cutephp. The free one has lots more features Let me know if you need any more help regarding cutenews.
better then the original one. It's been developed separately for a long time so it's pretty matured. Plus you'll find lot of help at there forums. http://english.cutenews.ru/forum
