It is worth clarifying more specifically the requirement from the News Management Script preferably:

  • a ready-made script which doesn´t require too much configuration respectively PHP development skills to get it up and running,

  • must be easy to implement within a Dreamweaver template
  • should include login facillities within CAPTCHA in built
  • Full administrative capabillities

Would be happy if someone can point me to a php tutorial for cerating this, though would prefer the above.

Your description makes Drupal sound the most logical choice. It's not necessarily easy to work with in Dreamweaver, but what you're asking for is not a trivial set of requirements. There's an article about using Drupal with Dreamweaver CS4 in the Adobe Developer Connection: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/drupal_themes_with_dwcs4.html.

I was thinking about something like this:

The only problem with a script like this is that it requires CHMOD 777 write settings which I understand is insecure on the shared hosting my web site resides on.

You'll need to provide a lot more details of your requirements if anyone is to give you any practical help.

Which server-side language do you plan using? Do you have any experience with developing with a server-side language or a database? Who will be the users?

You mention that you're using Dreamweaver MX. If you're planning on using PHP, the PHP code generated by MX is hopelessly out of date.

You might be better looking at a pre-made CMS system such as WordPress or Drupal.

As this question is not related to ADDT (Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox), and as the scenario you´re describing will assumingly require the retrieval of information which is stored in a database, I´m moving this thread to the "Dreamweaver Application Development" forum to help you address a broader audience
