News script with ability to schedule articles?

I am looking for an easy to use perl/cgi/php script, for publishing news on my website. The script needs to be able to show the last x headlines entered via a cms(i.e. log in using browser to admin area) system. Also, the ability to schedule news articles to appear in advance(e.g. in 2 days time), and the ability to expire news articles automatically would be useful.

I have found many free scripts that do this, but none with the scheduling feature.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try Postnuke or php nuke both have ability to shedule news items along with lots of other items.

Thanks purple. I have already seen that phpnuke has the ability to do this, but I only want to use the news module, and nothing else.

I already have a website with pages which I don't want to convert to phpnuke. I just want a simple script, which I can use using a server side include to insert into the existing shtml pages.

I would also want a similar script to this. I do use post nuke on some sites, but other pages just want a simple news script

If there is no script which can achieve this, then is there a way of getting phpnuke(via a 3rd party script) output headlines via rss or other feed, so they can be displayed on my homepage with a direct link to each story?

You can syndicate news using the file backend.php om postnuke

php/mysql combo could do it.

I have access to a news publishing script but they dont have any go live or expire on functions in them, and they would need to be heavily modified, would take time

if you can get the free ones they shouldnt be too tricky to modify

mambo is superb for this kind of future publishing and expiration date etc.

Try taking a look at Nucleus www.nucleuscms.org - I think.

It's actually a blogging tool - but I had great success using it as a news script once in the past.
