After months of not touching my school’s Web site, there is finally hope as to when things will get rolling again. Currently, I am running it on Mambo 4.6.x series, which is deeply incompatible with many components and such. Too keep at least the SEF URLs running, I had to hack up one of the Mambo core files, which involved commenting out a certain function that 404 SEF doesn’t like. In other words, my Mambo install is a mess.
I’m anxiously awaiting the release of Joomla 1.5 Stable. Right now, it is up to RC2, which is very good progress. The Joomla team’s says that they will be putting out at least one more release candidate before the final version is ready, but I’ve got some time to spare. Keep it up Joomla!

After a week and a half of downloading and uploading templates, modules and components, my new site is finally up. You can visit it by clicking this link [broken link removed]. You’ll notice that it has a nice design (from a template), a login… form, and a poll. The sond two of these features are implemented through Mambo’s included modules, which are small items placed on the sides of the page (or at least most of the time; the navbar menus are also modules). You can get modules for your Mambo site from dozens of places, one of which is MamboForge.net, the Mambo equivalent of SourceForge. In addition, there are components, which are applications that fit in to your site, and range from forums to support ticket systems (examples: Simpleboard Forum, WebAmoeba Ticket System).Lastly, there are mambots, or small snippets that insert something into a content page (ex. images, page breaks). For more on the dozens of features of Mambo, visit www.mamboserver.com
