Full Newspaper System [27]

This is a fully working newspaper system.
Reporters can add their articles for the editor to look over, the editor can then decide which articles he would like to include, and edit them(if necessary).
Each newspaper is it's own separate issue, and users have to purchase each edition. The default is set to $20 for new papers, $25 for an archived issue.
And yes, that means users are able to look back in an archive of the papers and choose which articles they would like to view.
There is an ads system that users can bid on each position, and even a banner spot they can bid on. And the editor approves each ad.
When users purchase the papers, statistics are kept so the editor can view the number sold, and the amoutn of money they've made on the paper.
The editor has the ability to pay out all remaining funds earned from the papers. The editor himself receives a 35% cut.
The rest is split between the article creators. Each main article is worth 15% and the two small articles are worth 10%.
Potentially, the newspaper editor and the article creators could make money on their articles until the game is shut down.

There is also now a free (optional) upgrade included that can allow you to have ANY user submit articles.

This mod is for Version 1 and Version 2.

This mod has been updated, and all errors have been fixed.
To download a bug-free copy, use the download link given on purchase.

Also note, you must  select an article and ad in EVERY spot in every paper. If you do not, you will not be able to submit a newspaper. This has been added to the instructions on the newspaper submission page for future reference.

[Cronus]

Another patch has been made. There was a minor incompatability.
Not all servers had this error, however it would be wise to download the latest version in case you have to change servers in the future.

[Twist3d Fat3]

This a great mod, I am having trouble with one thing.

It won't let me sort the staff, other than that I would say Its all good

[Cronus]

You need to change their newsstaff value in the users table.

[Twist3d Fat3]

Yeah I did, you have to set It to "2" correct?

Thats the only problem I have I just have people message me the articles and Its good

[Cronus]

Yeah I did, you have to set It to "2" correct?

I don't remember the exact number, but I believe its in the instructions, and the default newspaper once you install.

[Rain]

Just curious, you can make actual money when you advertise on your newspaper?

[strats]

Yes It's a small amount

[Cronus]

Yes It's a small amount

Actually you can easily edit how much each paper costs, thus increasing profits.
