Article Script

VLE79E

Does anyone know a good script that takes care of storing and displaying articles?

If you're looking for an online newspaper-style script, I've written a hugely comprehensive one. It's still in serious beta, but you can see it at http://cornerstone.nebrwesleyan.edu/; the layout is totally negotiable without mucking around in PHP. I still have a todo list about a mile long, but it would certainly get you started if that's the sort of thing you're looking for. (Plus, it's GPLed, which is always nice.)

Wow you are from NE Wesleyan Univ. I am not from the states but I took my BS from UNL. Anyway,

Actually, I am looking for something like the PHPBuilder section where people write comment under each article. I like the PHPBuilder Article Section.

You might want to check out PHP-Nuke -- it's similar to what /. uses. It's probably way bigger than what you want, but it's also open-source so you can hack it into whatever shape you need. I'm almost positive that will have the functionality you're looking for.

Nemonoman: I'd love to email you, but I neither have your addy nor have you permitted people to email you through your profile. I suppose I've done the same, but you can reach me at cas1650@spam-is-evil.nebrwesleyan.i-hate-spam.edu if you're interested.

Sorry Guys

I am still lost; at least can someone show me the structure of the database that will hold the comments.

So simple yet made to sound so hard.

Ok.

A articles database would need things such as an author for credit, article as in text.. and id so when we add comments we have that id..

A simple structure would be like a News Script

id | title | author | article |

You may wanna split the pages up using a word limiter for each page

Kinda like using the LIMIT statement to make next/previous links.
Now im not sure on how you'd go about that.

Ok now for a commenting system

We need something thats gonna relate to the id of the articles db

so make a feild called cid
