How to use Mambo Modules, Components and Mambots?
Enhance your Mambo system with the most popular Mambo addons!
Until now we have been changing templates, adding content, uploading files, etc. How about adding extra functionality to your website? That can be easily done by installing three kinds of add-ons that you can integrate with your Mambo. Those are modules, components and mambots.
Components add functionality to the Mambo itself - e.g. content management functions, that cannot be noticed directly, but help ordering and customizing your website.
Modules are used as a bridge between the Component and Mambo: you need a Module to enable a chosen Component on MOS.
Mambots are add-ons for Mambo that perform a specific function when triggered without being displayed before your visitors. They can range from text-replacing to something as complicated as a template-management system. E.g. WYSIWYG editors are Mambots.
If you are willing to install an add-on of any of the kinds above you can do that very easy through Mambo administration interface. First of all you need to find and download the addon from a website with Mambo addons, such as MamboXchange website and save it to your local hard drive.
Then, just select the Installers menu and the Universal tab from within your Administrative backend:
When in the installation page please find the zip source file and upload and install the add-on. In case of success you will be prompted to continue to the list of add-ons of this kind and manage your new addition according to the specific documentation.
