Novus News Publishing DotNetNuke Module
Novus is a news publishing module for DotNetNuke that was created to fill a need no other module provides. With Novus you can publish RSS Feeds in and out of your site, display messages across multiple portals, organize your articles into multi-level categories with images, automatic email notifications of new articles and so much more. You could even use Novus as a repository providing file downloads to specific roles while also allowing people to rate, comment and subscribe to your postings.

If you are an OnyakTech Subscriber, you can download Novus now from www.OnyakTech.com

To show an example of how Novus can be used, we created a web site that uses Novus to email people news as it’s released on www.NewVus.com  <-- Try It
