NEWSlite is a lightweight and open source news management system designed for small and medium-sized websites. It allows easy management of news and articles for website owners.
One of the main features of NEWSlite is that it uses PHP and MySQL, two widely used programming languages that can ensure smooth integration with your website. Another essential feature is the ability to have an unlimited number of users to help post news. It is relatively easy to add, edit, and delete users as needed. Furthermore, you can manage user permissions based on what level of access you want to give each person.
NEWSlite also features a template-based output that lets you manipulate the display of news on your website without having to edit any files. You can also adjust the layout and look of the program itself by modifying the theme. The program offers multiple subject categories, so you can file news posts in as many different categories as you want. RSS output is produced for each subject so that visitors can easily view news that interests them. The program also supports BBcode input, so you can format posts with similar ease to that of a forum.
One of the best parts of NEWSlite is that it offers both a live and a static news output. You can include news on your website through either a PHP script or a Server Side Include of a static file, which is faster. The program is easy to install, and everything is automated for you except creating the database and user, which you do for added security.
Lastly, NEWSlite has an easy-to-use interface that brain-dead individuals can comfortably use. The latest version of the program has minor bug fixes with the BBcode parser and displays in HTML. Overall, NEWSlite offers an excellent way for websites to publish regular news without a full content management system's overhead.
