Way cool and very good! A minus for the hard addon install.

Features, features, features! This script is perhaps the most useful news posting script in existence. The only flaw is that it is a little confusing at first as far as customization, but that problem is quickly neutralized by the extensive collection of readme files.

I recommend this script. The maker of the script is very helpful as well.

Although the setup is slightly more confusing than Newspro, News Publisher offers alot more. Once the main config is done adding the archives, search and comments scripts is easy and they work very well. The admin system is also very sleek. Highly recommended.

Wow, this script is awesome! I was a newbie when I first set it up and I did it in only a couple hours, start to finish, everything. Easy to customize. And it's free! The creator, Grant, provides excellent service and help, usually in less than 24 hours on his website's message board. This script has everything you want for a news script!

Excellent script. Not as easy to setup as News Pro, but much better. Comments ability is great and everything works just fine. I highly recommend it!

Simple to set up and maintain. The advanced features are a little trickier to do though. Could be better automated but all the features are there and perfect for my website.

I've been searching for a news script that could post headlines that linked to the story on a separate page. Other necessary features were the ability to search on past articles, and a built in message board so users could "add comments" about a story. I didn't think I would find a single script that did all of these things. This one does! Don't go by the demo on the site. It's capable of much more. Setup is easy but expect to spend 3 or 4 days tweaking. There's a lot of hidden capability here.

I looked into both of the top two scripts in this index, and I found this one to be the best. The comment feature is a great addition to any website, and configuring and customizing it went perfect.

Sorry to say I could not get the SSI to call. Tried everything, including changing .ext. Also caused server errors when SSI was called. Never seen anything like this before. Even installed SSI call from another script, after problems, worked fine. Script up an ran cool.

This script is awesome, plus the person that wrote it is extremely helpful! I have looked at others and find this is the absolute best in its field -- easy to set up, easy to use and easy to adjust. I highly, highly recommend it

This script takes a little extra time to set up, but the additional functionality of the categories and comments and other features make it absolutely worthwhile.

This script is the best I have seen and tested in this category. Setup was easy and well documented -- two thumbs up to the author!

Bad programming. Not a clean script. Ugly admin interface.

Great admin interface, easy to configure look via the web. Also, there is a slashdot type "respond" option for posts. ROCK!

Nice Script! Tons of features, a dummy could configure this script!

This is an excellent script! Very well done and thought out. I did have only one complaint and that was I was a little mislead with the term 'unlimited authors'. True, you can have as many as you want, but only if you add them yourself. Would have been nice to have a join feature (which I added anyway) for anyone to add a news article. But other than that, this script is A+ in my books.

I think this script has it all! So many features!
