Looking for app to store/display articles


toasty

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for an application that will add some specific functionality to my website.  I'm aware that coding it myself or hiring someone to do it would achieve my desired result but both of those are currently not an option so I'm looking for something pre-baked that will get me as close to what I want as possible.

Here's what I'm after:

[color=#3333FF]1) Database driven (preferably MySQL) app for article storage/recalling.  Updated on the administrative level (i.e. no user input).
2) On one page it will display a specified number of the most recent articles.
3) On a seperate page will be displayed the archived articles in a sortable format (all those posted prior to those listed on the current page).
4) Clicking on any given article will open its own page.
5) Allow the archive page to roll over onto other pages when the list of articles reaches a given amount.
6) When a new article is posted, it will be listed on the "current" page, and will dynamically bump the oldest of the "new" articles onto the archive page.
7) Within the articles themselves, the option to specify page-breaks so that long articles will run over onto aditional pages.
[/color]

This is just a portion of my website, some added functionality I thought of that I'd like to impliment.  I was thinking that some form of blog software (Wordpress?) might be along the lines of what I'd be after, but that's just a guess.

If anyone has any ideas that might help, it would be amazingly helpful!  Thanks alot everyone!

Use an open source CMS like drupal, tikiwiki etc.

Hmmm... any idea of either/any of those do what I'm looking for right out of the 'box' or am I likely to be doing some hunting for a bunch of mods?

Thanks for the suggestion Gluck!
