Dentafrice,

simpleNEWS

This is a new, "news system" that I am making.
I am making it all in classes and MySQL based.

Here are some features so far:

Template system
>> Templates will be able to be edited VIA the AdminCP. They will be stored in MySQL. They will be easily edited with variables such as:

{newstitle}, {category}, {author}, {date}, {avatar}, etc.

Phrase system
>> This is so it can be easily translated into multiple languages just by editing a few simple phrases on a page through the AdminCP, there will be language files released that you can plugin VIA the plugin system. Users will be able to select their language, or admins can select it for them.

Plugin system
>> This easy system allows administrators to add and remove plugins to the system that are hosted on the simpleNEWS server by entering the name of the plugin. It will grab the plugin info from the server and install the plugin, it will also provide the system with uninstall information.

That is all I have right now, I hope to bring some more info, some screenshots, and some code samples in the very near future.

Thanks,
Caleb

This seems like it will be cool.

For the template system, try adding a WYSIWYG editor, or just a feature that you can change the height, width and background image of the headder middle and footer divs.

Dentafrice,

fckEditor or TinyMCE will be incorperated into the system via the news and template editing system.

It will be able to be turned off also via the adminCP

Nop copyright will be shown on the news page.
It will also include an image uploader based in MySQL using the same technology that TehUpload does.

Rofl, I didn't know you was making a news system :o Never saw a thread. :(

Image system
>> System will be integrated into the WYSIWYG editor to provide MySQL based images.
This means the image file will not actually be storedon the server. The image contents will be stored in MySQL as a blob. Examples of this technology: TehUpload.

He is making a script in his own time, releasing it FOR FREE. And you can't put a message saying you're using his panel?

Dentafrice,

Yep :P
As people may know I suck at designing, so if anyone wants to help the project with designing some interfaces (Login, Main screen) etc, that would be a great help.

Dentafrice,

No copyright will be on there except on the login page, at the bottom it will probably say "Powered by simpleNEWS" but all the templates are editable..

Agreed :P
I want to try to keep the names/copyrights down except to the credits page which will include all the peoples names that have helped/contributed.
