Mambo – open source CMS
I am happy to introduce to you the Mambo CMS – a powerful content management system. Designed to provide quick and easy website creation and management, Mambo is one of the most popular and powerful free content management systems. With the help of the Mambo CMS software everyone can install and configure both simple personal home pages and elaborate web portals in a matter of minutes. It also allows easy integration with popular forum (PHPBB2, PHPBB3) and e-commerce (osCommerce) PHP scripts by using bridge modules. Thanks to the easy-to-use advanced content management system offered by Mambo, there is no need of possessing serious web design and programming knowledge. By using this easy-to-use CMS software you can create a unique, professional looking website via a modern graphic user interface.
Very similar to the popular Joomla CMS, Mambo provides a browser-based installation wizard. Actually, Joomla 1.0.x is a Mambo fork project created by ex-Mambo developers. Just like its popular ‘child’, Mambo supports modules, components and plugins. Also, both scripts share the same template system. So, a large number of popular Mambo templates, plugins, modules and components work with no or with little modification on Joomla 1.0.x. Since Joomla released the new 1.x branch, support for the ‘older’ extensions and Joomla 1.0.x templates has been available only in ‘Legacy’ mode.
The Mambo content management system is available for one-click installation through Freehostia’s free PHP scripts installer. By using the Elefante installation wizard you can set up your database and install a Mambo website with a few mouse clicks. Once the setup process is finished, your website will be ready for your online community.
