An introduction to Components, Modules & Mambots
The default installation of Mambo includes a variety of features
which are available for your use at the click of a mouse. Without
installing any additional software, you can manage banners, set up
surveys and polls, syndicate your content, and do many other common
tasks.
The tools that make these functions possible are called Components, Modules and Mambots. Write Comment (0 comments) |

Why can't I delete a Section / Category? |
|
Written by Administrator
|
A Category must be empty of all Content Items before it can be deleted.
A Section must be empty of all Categories before it can be deleted.
Remember, in Mambo, when you delete an item, it moves to the Trash
Manager. To delete it permanently, you must go to the Trash Manager and
delete the items a second time; only then can you delete the related
Category / Section.

How do I secure my Mambo site? |
|
Written by Administrator
|
A simple question with a complex answer! It is complex because security
issues arise from a variety of sources: your code, your server, the
other things running on your server, the users, etc. While Mambo itself
is relatively secure, you may still experience problems if the server
is compromised or if a user gives up a password. The basic steps you
should take however include:
- Do not unnecessarily leave directories open with CHMOD set at 777 (configuration.php in particular should be set to chmod 644)
- Delete your old installation directory (don't just rename it!).
- Implement HTTP access controls for your admin login.
- Make all your admin passwords at least 8 characters and containing symbols and numbers as well as letters.
There's more that you can do, but it is outside the scope of this FAQ.

Can users edit content from the front end? |
|
Written by Administrator
|
Yes, if they are registered users who are logged into the system, and
if you have given them permission. There are three user levels which
have this power:
- Author - This group allows a user to post content, usually via a link in the User Menu.
- Editor - This group allows a user to post and edit any content item from the Front-end.
- Publisher - This group allows a user to post, edit and publish any content item from the Front-end.
